Dear Friends,

The Mining Justice Action Committee (MJAC) and KAIROS-Victoria have partnered to hold a public screening of Bright Green Lies on Monday February 21 at 7 pm via Zoom.

We have been advocating for vastly improved mining practices here and abroad that uphold Indigenous and human rights and sustain environmental integrity.

With the climate crisis upon us, mining efforts are set to expand rapidly to supply minerals necessary for a transition away from fossil fuels and towards alternative technologies.

Canadian mining corporations make up the majority of mining companies in the world today and suffer little accountability for their abysmal behaviour. So, it falls to Canadians to make a difference.

We have been asking ourselves whether we can mine our way out of the climate crisis and if so, at what costs to human rights, biodiversity and other elements of the natural world.

These inquiries brought us to the film Bright Green Lies.

The film argues that solar, wind and other “green” technologies are not all what they are made out to be. It may be that population control and reduced consumption are as important to our... survival. The film’s trailer is here: brightgreenlies.com

A trailer for the film can be found here: http://brightgreenlies.com

The film did not answer our questions but we thought it worth sharing to begin a conversation on what is to be done in the face of the crises we are facing.

Our plan is to screen the 70-minute film and follow this with a brief discussion centered on learning if others would be interested in future events exploring further the questions raised here and in the film.
