A Presentation about Food in Community.

April 8, 2015 - 6:45PM

Erik Jacobs, Farmer for Plough & Stars 

Plough & Stars Project is a Medford based farm. It is a celebration of community and food's unique capacity to draw people together. Our members are all neighbors - households bound by geography but separated by the pace of modern life. We know each other from a distance, maybe even by name, but rarely do we find the opportunity for deeper connection. Our CSA strives to challenge that, to designate time and create space for those openings. Through our farming we seek to live and nurture lives of meaningful connection: connection to the earth, connection to each other, connection to our work and connection to our food. Through these connections we strive to steward land, nourish bodies, quiet minds and foster community. We believe that living closer to the earth brings us closer to the divine. And that, at its essence is what we celebrate...The Plough and the Stars.

Movie: "Trashed - No Place For Waste"

"Trashed - No Place for Waste" looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land and sea by waste. The film reveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our health, a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between the film star Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution. Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human interest and political wake-up call. But it ends on a message of hope: showing how the risks to our survival can easily be averted through sustainable approaches that provide far more employment than the current 'waste industry'.

There will also be a presentation by a local community group about recycling and waste in our own community. 

This free screening is sponsored by the Medford Film Collaborative, Grace Episcopal Church and the City of Medford Office of Energy and the Environment.
