Free Screenings of THE STORY OF STUFF and TRASHED: THE STORY OF GARBAGE--AMERICAN STYLE

There will be a double feature dealing with resource consumption and waste. THE STORY OF STUFF, narrated by Annie Leonard, is an animated short produced by the Tides Foundation and Funders Workgroup for Sustainable Production and Consumption. It cleverly outlines the waste stream and its external social and environmental costs. TRASHED: THE STORY OF GARBAGE--AMERICAN STYLE is about the trashing of Earth, one day at a time by our throwaway society. TRASHED was the official selection at the 2008 Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival and the 2007 Greenbuild Film Festival. There will be a discussion after the screenings about how to conserve resources by reducing consumption and preventing waste. The program takes place at Mayday Books, 301 Cedar Avenue South on the West Bank in Minneapolis. It is free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the Climate Crisis Coalition of the Twin Cities (3CTC).

The Clean-Energy Vigil to Cool Down the Planet will take place out on the plaza at 5:00 PM and the 3CTC Business Meeting is at 6:00 PM. All are welcome. SAVE MOTHER EARTH! See you there. For further information, EMAIL: christinefrank@visi.com or PHONE: 612-879-8937.
