Permaculture Sydney North is a group of over 400 people based in Sydney, Australia with an amazing array of skills in self reliance, energy & water conservation, qualified permaculture design and teaching. It's a great place to start for people who want to learn more about healthier, abundant and satisfied living.

Our monthly meetings feature world-class speakers. We also use that time to raise awareness of sustainable living and to circulate knowledge and resources within the group, including a library, seedbank table, the purchase of books and a trash table.

October 19th: Movie Screening "The Age of Stupid"

A much sterner and more alarming polemic than “An Inconvenient Truth,” “The Age of Stupid,” directed by Franny Armstrong, will be taken by some as an emergency wake-up call to do everything possible to avert impending catastrophe. In the film Mark Lynas, the British environmental activist and author of “Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet,” warns of a tipping point around 2015 if the world doesn’t immediately act to reduce carbon emissions. Once global temperatures warm more than two degrees, he says, all will be lost.

The Age Of Stupid is at its best when detailing the failure of good intentions, rather than demonising the politicians and oil companies that serve as its major villains and specific targets. In India, for instance, an entrepreneur attempts to democratise air travel for the country's poorest classes, while a family in the UK swears off aeroplanes for the environmental devastation that they cause. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, an ex-oil man and hurricane hero explains the legitimate and myriad benefits of petroleum, subtly and honestly defending the very corporations that are simultaneously destroying West Africa.

While there is a touch of television amateurism in The Age Of Stupid's pithy humour and animated interludes, its short, interconnected segments are accessible to any audience. Moreover, by speaking directly to the disaffected and disinterested, its light tone successfully disguises an intent that could not be more serious or more urgent, which is no small feat.
