"Billion Dollar Crop," a 1994 Australian documentary, explores the history, diverse uses, and future of cannabis, focusing on the versatile and potentially revolutionary plant's potential.

The film highlights how recently developed, non-drug hemp varieties are being researched and cultivated globally for their versatile qualities and environmental benefits. It showcases hemp as an industrial fiber, offering alternatives to wood for paper, cotton for clothes, and plywood for construction, thereby benefiting forests and topsoil.

Produced with Michael Cordell and Jeffrey Bruer, and directed by Barbara Ann Chobocky, the DVD is available from Bull Frog Films.

The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) united astronauts from multiple nations, including Germany, Japan, US, and India, to send a vital message of solidarity, hope, and collaboration to political leaders concerning climate change. This powerful initiative aims to inspire action during a crucial time.

For deeper insight into the Overview Effect and astronaut experiences, explore "OVERVIEW" on YouTube and "PLANETARY," available on iTunes. The video was produced by astronaut Ron Garan and the award-winning Planetary Collective, in association with Daria Lopez-Alegria of Space Bridges.

The United Nations estimates 30 percent of global food production is wasted. This squanders resources and labor, and in landfills, food generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Lesly Baesens, Food Waste Recovery Program Administrator for the City and County of Denver, offers practical tips to reduce household food waste. Her strategies not only lower your carbon footprint but also save time and money. Lesly ensures food is eaten, redistributed, or composted, rather than ending up in landfills.

On March 7, 2017, Arctic sea ice reached a record low winter maximum, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). This followed a warm winter. Globally, combined Arctic and Antarctic sea ice levels hit their lowest point since satellite measurements began in 1979, specifically on February 13.

Chef Richard Jones explores the future of food, addressing complex issues in production and consumption. His talk delves into the intersection of food, flavor, agriculture, sustainability, and technology.

Jones' global culinary journey began in Adelaide, influencing his passion for diverse flavors. After moving to Nashville in 2000, he worked with renowned chefs and catered for major musical artists. In 2012, he became Executive Chef at Green Door Gourmet, where he educates consumers, develops recipes for CSA members, and champions community-supported agriculture, transforming Nashville's farm-to-fork dining.

Many global projects claiming climate change adaptation often raise human rights concerns and carry significant carbon and ecological footprints. A truly effective approach requires breaking with past assumptions, moving beyond systems that exacerbated the crisis, and addressing worsening scenarios and psychological impacts.

We must support those restoring our planet's natural balance, such as Dr. Stella Nyambura Mbau, who champions regenerative agroforestry. Dr. Lisa Schipper, who coined "maladaptation" to describe inadequate climate responses, highlights vulnerabilities and barriers in developing countries.

Join Michael Gerrard, Columbia Law School professor and Sabin Center Director, for a training on Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization. His team's "legal playbook" identifies over 1,000 model laws to help the U.S. achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Gerrard will outline needed federal, state, and local legal changes and demonstrate how CCL volunteers can engage legislators with these model laws. The training covers key topics like legal tools and mobilizing pro bono lawyers.

Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.

Changing weather patterns, with stronger storms and droughts, demand land restoration. We need to free land to absorb flooding, recover hydrology, and enhance natural systems for CO2 sequestration.

The automotive age has brought mobility at a steep environmental cost. Gas cars are disastrous, leading to ecosystem loss as paved surfaces cover soil and absorb heat; EVs don't solve this land-use issue. Additionally, three-quarters of arable land converted to animal agriculture compounds this recipe for disaster.
