2025-11-08 15:00 - 16:30 | Joshua Hyde Library, 306 Main Street, Sturbridge, MA, 01566, United States
Are you concerned about the future of our planet? Come to learn how we can help our beautiful home heal itself.
Regenerating Life: How to Cool the Planet, Feed the World, and Live Happily Ever After, a movie by John Feldman, is presented in three parts.
Part One, scheduled for November 8, 2025, at 3:00 pm, introduces concepts of our ecological situation, providing a solid understanding of the social and environmental crises that confront us.
Part Two, scheduled for December 6, 2025, and Part Three, scheduled for January 10, 2026, continue the examination of the prevailing climate change story and offer new, attainable solutions.
The film covers our understanding of how life regulates the climate through photosynthesis, the carbon cycle, the water cycle, the dung cycle, and the interconnected soil network of fungi, microorganisms and plant roots. The photography is beautiful, the information is clear, and the information presented welcomes us to rethink everything we do.
A discussion will follow each presentation, and light refreshments will be served.
If you would prefer to join virtually, please contact Sherry at sherryzitter@icloud.com for details. Preview the movie.
This presentation is sponsored by the Climate Committee of Grassroots Central Mass.
