The Clean Bin Project

The Clean Bin Project is a documentary film about a regular couple and their quest to answer the question "is it possible to live completely waste free?" Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least amount of garbage in an entire year. Their light-hearted rivalry is set against a darker examination of the sobering problem of waste in North America.
Join us for a screening of this Canadian-made film Saturday, August 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hudson Community Centre, 394 Main Rd. Filmmakers Jenny Rustemeyer and Grant Baldwin are cycling across Canada this summer to promote their film and will join us for a discussion after the screening. Free admission, donations welcome.

A Chemical Reaction on DVD

The June 16 screening of A Chemical Reaction was a great success. We were lucky to have Dr June Irwin and Mayor Michael Elliott, two major players in both the film and the passing of our historic pesticide by-law, in attendance. The mayor offered a moving tribute to Dr Irwin, thanking her for dedication and persistence.
Those of you who couldn't make it to the event can purchase a DVD copy of the film at Hudson's Town Hall (481 Main), the Hudson Historical Society/Tourist Information Centre (541 Main Road),or through us by emailing gogreenhudson@gmail.com.
