News
Sometimes the news of starving polar bears, ocean acidification, glaciers melting, pollution and species dying, can be just plain overwhelming. We can't as individuals take on all the global problems, but we all can have hope, be aware and do something. The way we shaped this film is so groups, classrooms, workplaces or churches can use it to talk about, take action and link to their projects, be it a community garden, recycling, or lessening your fossil footprint. We're having a great time collaborating with groups from environmental centers to health programs,and helping people talk about the sustainability, food security, health and environmental issues on their plates.
On our menu this weekend is an encore screening of Eating Alaska in collaboration with Turning the Tides, a group working on ocean awareness, less plastics and more. The event is also linked to Juneau's farmers market. Last year both Juneau and Sitka held their first markets.
