We just can't wait until April 18th to announce the 2008 Bioneer Award. Author Stephanie Mills has "engaged the ecology movement for more than 30 years" and mentored many of us along the way. Follow the links for more Information about the Annual NMEAC Event and Stephanie Mills.

We had a great turn out for the showing of, King Corn the Traverse City State Theatre the Locavore Hors d'Oeuvres Challenge, and the viewing of the highly anticpated "Talkin’ Bout Making Culture".

Thank You!

From the team that brought us detective Sam Suds who tackled the likes of Target for selling PVC, comes the Story of Stuff. This new short by Free Range studios illuminates the idea of economic obsolescence and, well, the Story of Stuff.

The newest video now online is Jim Smith's series of interviews exploring What is a Bioneer exactly?

You can also view our 3 local keynote speakers and watch/listen to the closing ceremony with Breathe Owl Breathe. Great Lakes BIONEERS Media

Also, as promised, John Sarver's powerpoint presentation from his workshop Windpower in Michigan (PDF)

If you were at the October 19th Earthwork Musicians concert you heard the premier of May Erlewine's "A Letter from Downstream".

May has made the song available on the Save the Wild Up Website.

We all live downstream, so while you are at their site, please donate to help stop sulfide mining.
