Title: Adieu Terre-à-Terre/Ecoversité, à l'émission Rencontres Message: La série qui se veut la mise en vedette des organismes environnementaux les plus dynamiques du Nouveau-Brunswick marque plutôt la fin d'un de ses groupes les plus accomplis à l'émission Rencontres ce mois de juin. Il s'agit d'un portrait de Terre-à-Terre. Ce groupe qui portait autrefois le nom Écoversité et qui est largement responsable pour avoir déclenché la lutte pour sauver la rivière Petitcodiac est devenu Terre-à-Terre lorsqu'un important nombre d'artistes ont gonflé leurs rangs. Depuis les dernières années, Terre-à-Terre avait adopté une approche contestataire faisant surtout appel à la satire comme arme, par exemple lorsqu'ils ont livré une boule de vase de la Petitcodiac au bureau du Premier ministre Bernard Lord. Comment ce groupe ayant près de dix ans de militantisme au sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick a-t-il évolué? Et pourquoi met-il fin à ses activités? Rencontrez Camille Arsenault, Philippe-André Collette et Michel DesNeiges pour les réponses. L'émission Rencontres est une série originale produite par la Fondation Médias Verts. Rencontres est diffusée via l'Internet à l'adresse [www.elements.nb.ca]. Visitez également le nouveau site web de la Fondation Médias Verts à [www.mediasverts.org]. Title: Farewell, Down-to-Earth, on this month's episode of Insights Message: In June, the Insights internet video series marks the end of one of New Brunswick's most creative environmental organizations of the past decade. Down-to-Earth was created by local Moncton artists and environmentalists in order to tackle a wide spectrum of issues including those relating to the "mental" environment. Their creative campaigns and stunts captured the imagination such as the time they delivered a Petitcodiac River MudBall to Premier Bernard Lord's office. Down-to-Earth actually began as the Université de Moncton student group called Ecoversité. Ecoversité had made a name for itself by taking on the Petitcodiac River issue. How has this group evolved over the course of ten years of militancy in southeastern New Brunswick? And why is it closing its doors? Get the answers from Philippe-André Collette, Camille Arsenault and Michel DesNeiges on this month's episode of Insights. Insights is an original Internet video series produced by the Médias Verts Foundation. Watch Insights on-line on the elements web site [www.elements.nb.ca].
