Project Blue NZ - Educate and Inspire Change

For The Blue, details how plastic pollution is damaging our environment, whilst showing the real world solutions on how to fix it. We have spent the last 3 years documenting our journey, spending time in places like Hawaii, Malaysia and at home here in New Zealand, seeing the consequences of our waste ending up in our environment. 

We speak to people who are leading the plastic free movement, whilst documenting how we can all be part of the solution, rather than the problem. 

Our goal is to inspire the next generation of change makers, to think big about the issues we face, and to act. Watch it here


SEASPIRACY

100% worth a watch. There are some facts in there that I would take with a pinch of salt as they haven’t got the background info the back them up. However it is a great insight into some of the massive issues we currently have going on in the ocean and I would recommend watching it.

Be prepared to be shocked! Watch it here

With ocean ecosystems on the verge of collapse, and the human implications that follow, we must ask ourselves what kind of world we wish to live in.

The Game Changers

Presented by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic and Chris Paul — a revolutionary new film about meat, protein and strength.

This is probably one of the best documentaries I have seen this year. It looks at the meat and dairy industry from a different perspective than I’ve seen before. It gives evidence in a way which is hard to dismiss, and shows ways in which a plant-based foods can have a positive impact on not only the human body but also our planet

Seed: The Untold Story

“Our seed stocks are endangered as a panda or a polar bear right now”

Did you know that we have lost 94% of our vegetable seed varieties in the 20th century. This is a topic that isn’t often spoken about, but it should be!

Seed banks are being destroyed through war. We are loosing ancient seeds that have been collected for mankind and we are putting ourselves in a dangerous situation. Without seeds living beings can NOT survive.

This is a topic that I hadn’t thought about before and was really uneducated on. I saw this movie at Conscious Movie Monday’s at The Workshop in Auckland. I immodestly went home and filled every space in my garden with seedlings.
