DARE TO CARE....

MAY 17- ORGANIC GARDEN WORK DAY from 1-3 p.m.

Join us out at the Teaching & Learning organic garden for a clean up day! Be sure to wear grubby clothes, a hat, sunscreen and bring water! If you have gloves or shovels, please bring them along. The garden is located at the base of the KCI Hill, at the very back of Parking Lot 3 (beyond the end of the solar panels!) See you there!

MAY 21- Movie Screening: POWERShift @ 12 noon in Hearthside Lounge
(across fm bookstore)

The Center will be hosting a FREE screening of the movie POWERShift. Narrated by Cameron Diaz, this award-winning PBS special with engaging stories and inspiring visuals explores the enormous potential for clean, renewable energy. Traveling the world, the program illustrates the connections among such issues as solar and wind energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, and global climate change. Most importantly, Power Shift offers specific action steps that viewers can take in their own lives to create a sustainable future.

 

MAY 23- Movie Screening: Chasing Ice @ 12 noon in Hearthside Lounge
(across fm bookstore)

Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.  This has some absolutely breathtaking cinematography--don't miss it! (hosted by the Foothill Environmental Technology Club)  (runtime: 75 min)
