Upcoming event: Film screening – The Clean Bin
The NLEN, MMSB and Northeast Avalon ACAP are partnering to co-sponsor the September 16 screening of the independent documentary The Clean Bin. The film follows two people’s year-long challenge to live consumer and waste-free and explores the larger issues of garbage in North America. Featuring interviews with renowned artist, Chris Jordan and marine pollution expert, Captain Charles Moore, The Clean Bin Project presents the serious topic of waste reduction with optimism, humour, and inspiration for individual action. The St. John’s screening marks the finale of the film-makers’ cross-country film screening tour – a tour they’ve carried out on bicycle! Admission to the screening is free, though donations to the Clean Bin Project are welcome. For free popcorn, BYO bowl! The screening is co-sponsored by the MMSB, NLEN and NAACAP. For further information contact Ashley Russell (arussell@mmsb.nl.ca; 757-3640) or Chris Hogan (nlen.ed@gmail.com; 726-7898).
