Environmental Films at Walker Nature Center

Join us for the Reston premier (as far as we know) of Cool It - an exciting new film about solutions for climate change.  From the Cool It website: 

"Climate catastrophe? The end of civilization as we know it?

"Cool It is based upon the book of the same name and lectures by Bjorn Lomborg, the controversial author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. Award-winning filmmaker Ondi Timoner travels the world with Lomborg exploring the real facts and true science of global warming and its impact. Lomborg is the founder and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a globally respected think tank that brings together the world’s leading economists to prioritize major global problems – among them malaria, the lack of potable water and HIV/AIDS – based upon a cost/benefit analysis of available solutions. Amidst the strong and polarized opinions within the global warming debate, Cool It follows Lomborg on his mission to bring the smartest solutions to climate change, environmental pollution, and other major problems in the world."
Space is limited - RSVP is requested.

Free, suggested donation of $5 to Sustainable Reston/Fairfax Coalition for Smarter Growth and Friends of Reston.

A Community of Gardeners, Tuesday, April 30th 

7:30 pm

Produced by Maryland film-maker Cintia Catib, this beautiful documentary takes us on a tour of community gardens in Washington, DC. An outdoor classroom, an oasis of peace in an inner city neighborhood, a link to an immigrant's homeland: the roles of seven Washington, D.C. community gardens are as varied as the gardeners themselves. Meet them and visit their plots in this documentary ode to their passions.
