Best out of Waste Competition: If you look around your home, you will be
sure to find at least ten articles that you do not really require. Many
of us have the habit of storing or throwing away things that do not
serve their purpose anymore. Instead of discarding them, be creative and
make “Best out of Waste”. If you reduce the waste generated by your
household by 10 percent, you can save 500 kilograms of carbon dioxide
annually! So take action for our planet and come with your “Best out of
Waste” creations on Earth Day at The International Centre Goa.
About HOME: Home is an environmentally conscious documentary directed by
internationally renowned photographer Yann-Arthus Bertrand and produced
by Luc Besson. The movie was released simultaneously on June 5, 2009,
World Environment Day, in cinemas across the globe, on DVD, Blu-ray,
television and on internet. Opening in 181 countries, the film broke the
world record for the largest film release in history. Shot in 54
countries and 120 locations over 217 days, Home presents the many
wonders of planet Earth from an entirely aerial perspective. In our
200,000 years on Earth, humanity has hopelessly upset Mother Nature's
delicate balance. Some experts claim that we have less than ten years to
change our patterns of consumption and reverse the trend before the
damage is irreversible. Produced to inspire action and encourage
thoughtful debate, Home poses the prospect that unless ! we act quickly,
we risk losing the only home we may ever have.
About Saimakade Samvad: Saimakade Samvad is an animated film with the
theme of threats to our environment at its centre. The characters are
engaged in a dialogue with the nature wherein they understand the nature
when nature expresses the challenges posed by human beings.
