12 - END OF
THE LINE - reveals
the impact of overfishing on our oceans.
Scientists predict that at the current rate of fishing, most seafood will
be gone by 2048. The movie points
to solutions that are simple and doable and will ensure a supply of seafood for
future generations. Check out the
trailer at

February
9 - TAPPED - looks
at the environmental damage and health risks created by bottled water. Is access to clean drinking water a
basic human right or a commodity to be bought and sold? Just two startling facts - 40% of
bottled water is just tap water (so why pay for it?) and two million tons of
plastic garbage created by bottled water is in landfills, or worse, in the ocean. This movie will make you think twice
before you pick up another plastic water bottle.

March 9 - FRESH - a
positive look at how farmers, thinkers and business people across America are
re-inventing our food system to forge healthier, sustainable alternatives to
agri-business. This movie will get
you enthused about your food again and get you itching to be in the
garden.
