Disposable explores the work being done by organizations and private citizens as they attempt to promote a viable local recycling programme.


A project was created to introduce vetiver grass to Paramin (a hilly village in Trinidad & Tobago) to help solve major soil and water issues in the area. Metiver in Paramin explores the lesser known history of the unique plant, commonly called by its local name... Metiver.


Small Change is a climate change documentary which focuses on Trinidad & Tobago's economy, and moves which can be made in the grassroots, private and public sectors to improve the environment, while having significant social and economic benefits for the country.

The Vetiver Education & Empowerment Project (VEEP) was created to introduce vetiver grass to Paramin to help solve many major issues such as slope stabilization, erosion, and to help with soil and water conservation in agriculture. Once the project began, it was discovered that vetiver grass actually used to exist in Paramin long ago. But over time, the knowledge got lost and almost all vetiver was killed off using chemical herbicides by those who where unaware of its value. Among those who have memory and knowledge about this unique plant, it is commonly called by its local name... Metiver.
