Join us for a screening of "Planet Local" for a look at how globally, communities are connecting people, becoming sustainable and supporting local economies. A discussion will follow after the film. 

"PLANET LOCAL is about a quiet and transformative revolution emerging worldwide. As people work to protect and restore their local economies, their communities and the natural world, countless diverse initiatives are demonstrating a new path forward for humanity. It’s a path that localizes rather than globalizes, connects rather than separates, and shows us that human beings need not be the problem –  we can be the solution." - Local Futures
