Vision Statement

The Closer To Home film project advocates creating a positive and uplifting “eco-logical” culture. The film will show practical, accessible and effective tools that can greatly assist bringing that eco culture into being.

Closer To Home will not be another “wake up” movie warning of the dangers of global warming, peak oil and economic decline. We will instead focus on practical, positive choices people can make in their own lives that can lead to a wide range of personal, community and global benefits.
