The Earth-Savers is a short documentary following 8-year-old Juniper and 5-year-old Beecher and friends. The siblings live in Meadowgreen on a beautiful farm that specializes in sustainable, eco-friendly farming. Juniper is also the founder of The Earth Savers Club, a group based out of Antigonish, whose mandate -- simply put -- is to save the earth. She and Beecher, along with a group of their pals, hold events, clean-ups, and (when required) Zoom meetings in their small town. This short film offers us a rare glimpse into their organization and, perhaps, our own future. It gives us the chance to see our world through the eyes of its inheritors and to understand how they process the issues that we're all facing. Ultimately, it aims to spotlight the young, innocent generation that offers our last chance at saving the world.

The EAC, from the very beginning, has been dedicated to education and engaging with youth and students. A few examples: in the Early 2000s, EAC organized thousands of kids to walk/roll to school, bringing into focus active and sustainable transportation; in 2018, EAC met with various student groups and environmental organizations and collectively imagined what climate justice could look like in Kjipuktuk in the future; and EAC’s transportation team has trained thousands of youth in bike safety and mechanics. Youth understand the severity of our climate crisis, and they are stepping up to the plate to take the final swing at saving the planet and our species.
