Sustainable Futures

Sustainable Futures takes us to seven different locations in three countries where there are demonstrations of local community efforts toward sustainability.

Farmers at Ruisseau St-Esprit, Canada share their experience of changing farming practices to safeguard the land and support future generations. In El Paso, Texas activists teach farm workers about the dangers of pesticides. In Chicago, Friends of the Chicago River find that native Chicagoans are eager to help clean up the river and its banks. In Chilapa and Salto de San Anton, Mexico educators and activists work to create sustainable communities. The Aldergrove-Bellingham community segment shows a team of Canadians and Americans working together to restore and regenerate a stream.

Each segment demonstrates the enthusiasm and the personal satisfaction that is engendered by the participants who are working together for the common purpose of upgrading their environment and surroundings.
