7pm The Story of Stuff with Annie Lennox
What is the Story of Stuff? From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. www.storyofstuff.com/

8.00pm Message in the Waves
is the award winning film made by Rebecca Hoskins f(rom Modbury) in conjunction with the BBC Natural
History Unit looking at some of the environmental challenges facing the
people and wildlife of the Hawaiian Islands.
Although the documentary is from a Hawaiian perspective it is really a global
film. Because of their size, location and social history, the Hawaiian Islands
represent a microcosm of the planet and are in a unique position to tell
all of us where we are going wrong and what we can do to help put things
right.
The showing of this film in Modbury led to the Plastic Bag Ban, the first town in the UK to take this step.
