Climate change has been the hot topic that’s been on everyone’s minds and tongues. Theater maker Amber Liberté takes this discussion to the stage. “Our Modern Earth (Is a F*cking Mess)” is a piece of theatre and dance that indulges in the discourse of climate change through the eons that have passed by. The play goes through a visual transformative journey through the use of organic material (like leaves and branches) to more man-made or mechanical material (like plastic). With supporting entities like Generation Zero, the play attempts to make its audience members question the rapid nature of climate change.

This production will unfortunately not go ahead due to COVID-19, but will later be adapted into a film.

Nirvana Haldar interviews Amber Liberté.

Covid-19 is on everyone's mind, but it is also important to remember that the climate crisis has not gone away.

A couple of weeks ago the Greens party put forward a new bill surrounding Organic farming in New Zealand as well as imports and exports. The bill outlines plans to get stricter on what is defined as Organic, however there is no overarching consensus on what is defined as organic internationally. James started off by talking to Andrea Braakhuis, an academic research dietitian from the Auckland University. While Andrea has a large amount of knowledge on Organics, James hopes to talk to other professionals about farming practices and sustainability marketing to completely unpack this bill. James started off by asking Andrea what defines a product as Organic.
