Evening of Movie and Popcorn with Supporter Opportunities

The film "Fresh", by ana Sofia joanes, will be shown at 7:00pm on Saturday, October 24, at the Gays Mills Community Building, 212 Main St in Gays Mills, sponsored by Crawford Stewardship Project. The event is part of the www.350.org worldwide project to promote awareness to reduce the CO2 levels from the present 387.81 to a goal of 350, which many scientists have determined to be a safe level. This platform of a global network connects people across the planet. Film discussion, CSP update, and an opportunity to offer suggestion and volunteer for CSP efforts will follow. Popcorn and lemonade will be provided at this free event.

"Fresh" celebrates the farmers, thinkers, and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Among several main characters, "Fresh" features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, a 2008 McArthur's "Genius Award" fellow; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin,, make famous by Michael Pollan's book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma"; and supermarket owner, David Ball, who is creating a new market model for our family farmers. "Fresh's" focus on these inspiring individuals and their initiatives around the US provide us with actionable solutions. Go to www.freshthemovie.com for more information.

"While CAFOs clearly are profitable, they are only profitable because so much of the cost and damage is externalized onto the environment, neighbors and wildlife. The monitoring, supervision, clean-up, restitution, fines are not happening, thus the true cost of CAFOs never find the way onto the balance books." Talking point from the CAFO Conference.
