 *Plastics 360: Impact & Possibilities - Film Night*
Thursday, March 7, 7-9 pm
We cannot live without plastics, it seems. But we cannot live with them
either, as they are currently produced and disposed. Plastics are
everywhere - littering streets and waterways, getting into the food chain
and into our bodies. Chemicals in plastics are associated with disorders
such as asthma, cancer, and diabetes. How do we find a way out?

Film Night features several short, stimulating pieces on the promises and
liabilities of plastics, each followed by commentary and dialogue with
local leaders in sustainable living: *Beck Cowles*, Berkeley Ecology
Center, *Chris Pincetich, PhD*, Sea Turtle Restoration Project, *Beth Terry*,
author, Plastic Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit, and How You Can, Too
and *Monica Wilson*, GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives).
Join the conversation and learn what you can do to protect yourself, your
family, and the environment. Space is limited. Purchase ticket online.

Cost: $11.54 (purchase tix online)

 Stop Fracking w/CA *Tues,March 5,6:30pm*

Fracking in California undercuts our states's commitment to clean and
renewable energy. Injecting millions of gallons of water and chemicals into
the ground to release oil is a dangerous way to get dirty energy. Send
Governor Brown a message today to impose a moratorium on fracking.
