The DC Environmental Film Festival is on now! Hundreds of free movies and events are playing all over the District and raising awareness about important issues of environment, sustainability, and pollution globally.
I find it amazing that given the natural disasters hitting the US shores in the last 10 years that so little attention is given to environmental impact. This past election season did not touch on environmental issues and finding solutions.
There are many parts of the country desperate for clean water and energy. There are other parts of the country dealing with unusual and extreme weather patterns. This unusual weather is widespread and affects millions, yet little is being done to prevent or understand.
The earth is an amazing, mysterious place, a giver of life as we know it. We must do more to care for this earth and prepare for future generations to inhabit this land. The film festival is eye-opening and touches on several environmental issues: from clean water to eroding soils, toxic waste to human rights issues like poverty.
Check out the calendar for some of these powerful films and start speaking out on behalf of the planet!
