Creatively United on YouTube
Catch up on some inspiring viewing this holiday season by visiting Creatively United’s YouTube channel where you will find a variety of informative and entertaining videos on a wide variety of topics. From live interviews with artists, scientists, change makers to short films and even a 60-minute documentary, there is something for everyone to be found here.
Metamorphosis: A Healing Journey
Theatrical Performance and Book Launch
Changing Course:
A River’s Journey of Reconnection
Looking for a timeless gift of beauty that can be appreciated by all your friends and family? Metamorphosis: A Healing Journey, is a feast for the eyes and soul with 120 richly illustrated pages of photography, art and prose. See a sample of some of the content here.
Sales of this book help support the many free services that CreativelyUnited.org offers, from our free Event Calendar and Community Blog, a video library and downloadable guides and resources, to a Pair Up Directory highlighting more than 275 non-profit groups and organizations.
The launch of this book also coincided with a live theatrical production involving more than 20 people, plus an almost equal number of choir members from the Victoria Philharmonic Choir (under the direction of Peter Butterfield). See cast bios here.
Just like an ecosystem, we had to work in perfect harmony for things to flow, which further strengthened the unique collaboration of Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices, professionals and amateurs, young and older. We experienced a metamorphosis together in the creation and delivery of this show and the book.
We salute all performing artists and technicians who deliver their gifts and presence to making this world a more thoughtful, creative and beautiful place and to those who support the arts and environment.
We are grateful for the leadership and support in our community from businesses and organizations like Copper Mountain Acupuncture, Lifestyle Markets, the POLIS Foundation and Climate and the Arts through the Victoria Foundation.
Did you know that British Columbia is named after the Columbia River which used to be one of the world’s largest salmon bearing rivers in the world?
Creatively United for the Planet has produced a 60-minute documentary that explores the degradation of what was once one of the most productive salmon rivers in the world. It looks at the dams and storages that eliminated wild salmon from the main stem of the river in Canada, and how this loss cut the heart out of Indigenous culture throughout the basin. The film also touches on the Columbia River Treaty, which came into force between Canada and the United States in 1964. At the time, it had a very narrow focus on flood control and hydropower. Sixty years later, however, new thinking is needed to ensure a sustainable future for this important river.
In Changing Course: A River’s Journey of Reconnection, leading voices from Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities eloquently express the need for new approaches to water management and governance that are more connected to nature, account for climate change, and meaningfully include First Nations leadership.
Produced and directed by Jonathan O’Riordan; co-producer and narrator Frances Litman and filmmaker, Bohdan Doval.
Please visit Creatively United’s YouTube channel to view this film and see Creatively United’s many other offerings.
How to Heal the Future, Not Steal the Future
Creatively United offers a wide variety of options, from a free webinar series to posts and resources, that explore solutions to restore and regenerate the planet. This graphic was inspired by the work of Paul Hawken, celebrated author of Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming and the just released book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. This graphic, co-created by Creatively United founder, Frances Litman, and Rhiannon James, was also the inspiration behind Frances’ recent TEDx Talk: How to Heal the Future, Not Steal the Future.
Safeguard Your Health: What the Public Needs to Know
Would you knowingly eat food, drink water or breathe air that contains toxic chemicals and microplastics linked to cancer that are contained in sewage sludge from Victoria, BC’s wastewater treatment plant?
Right now, forever chemicals, which true to their name last nearly forever in our environment, such as PFAS, and microplastics as well as PAHs, lead, mercury, dioxins, and pharmaceuticals are making their way into our air, water and soil through the bio-accumulation of tons of these toxic chemicals that remain in the sludge after the waste water from our homes, industry, businesses and health care facilities is processed.
Since 2022, the CRD plan was to use these dried biosolids as an alternative to fossil fuels in a cement plant, which is in keeping with a ban on the land application of biosolids the CRD Board passed in 2011. Instead, every day, 10 tons of toxic sludge, also known as “biosolids,” has been spread or buried at Victoria’s Hartland Landfill, where wind and rain erosion disperses these forever chemicals into the neighbouring farms, fields, forests and watersheds.
There is a strong triple bottom line business case for thermal conversion which the CRD needs to employ as it:
- creates a non-toxic biochar which is the desired end product as a result of thermally converting toxic biosolids into inert biochar – a new green industry;
- it’s a carbon free fuel source, not incineration, no pollution, low carbon footprint;
- a plant could be up and running within two years if treated as the emergency this is;
- thermal conversion can stop landfill expansion and convert ALL waste, not just biosolids, into fossil fuel free energy and save our waters, soil, trees, fish, our health and the beauty of the region and why so many people chose to live and visit here.
