[Chris Benjamin]

Hi there,

I've posted below a blurb on a green video series I'm working on in the
hopes that you can spread the word on your wonderful listserv. Many thanks,

Chris Benjamin


Halifax filmmaker Kevin Moynihan and author Chris Benjamin are teaming up
to make a series of videos based on Benjamin's award-winning book,
Eco-Innovators: Sustainability in Atlantic Canada. The first video featured
Off the Hook, an innovative community-supported fishery co-op. The video
was featured by David Suzuki on Facebook and can be seen at

Moynihan and Benjamin are now teaming up again to complete the series on
sustainable food in the region, and are giving crowd-sourcing a try as a
means to fund the endeavor. Up next for videos are Speerville (a large
organic wholesaler in New Brunswick), Local Source (a small local food
retailer in Halifax), and Fair Acres (an organic family farm on P.E.I.).

Any help you can give - whether in the form of a contribution or simply
spreading the word through your networks - would be much appreciated.
Please take a look at their indiegogo page for more details:
