The possible workshops :

  • Sprouting workshop : How can we grow sprouts all year long? (alfalfa, radish, mustard, bean)

We've started going around the province of Quebec to present our documentary. The public really enjoys it and this is extremely rewarding for us! It's also a great opportunity to meet nice people, make contacts and discover other parts of the province.

Description du film
Synopsis
Our food choices have a direct influence on the environment :  production, transportation, pollution, etc. Wanting to demystify vegetarianism and veganism, three young adults present their reflections and observations, and
the motivations that brought them to make this short film. During breakfast, they present the fruits of their research. In interviews, dieticians,
vegetarians, artists, and celebrities offer us their knowledge, their experience and their choices in terms of health, the environment and ethics.

  • Jacques Languirand
  • Patricia Tulasne
  • Renée Frappier
  • Louise Vandelac
  • Anne-Marie Roy
