Environmental film sparks lively debate

Saturday, April 21, 2007 - 10:00

Around 40 people attended a screening of Who Killed the Electric Car on April 18, hosted by the non-profit, community run Western Region Environment Centre in Werribee. The film was followed by a very lively debate about issues such as industry's drive for corporate profits, the lack of leadership from federal and state governments to provide solutions to climate change and the need for community action.

The screening was part of a broad educational program conducted by WREC, which was formed in 1999. For more information visit <http://www.envirowest.org.au>, phone (03) 9731 0288 or email <wrec@envirowest.org.au>.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
