An Evening of Education and Inspiration
In celebration of Earth Day, the historic Newtown Theatre is partnering with local environmental groups to present a special movie screening and panel discussion on Saturday, April 22 at 7 PM.
The night will begin with a screening of several short environmental documentaries, including “Wild in the Garden State,” which follows a New Jersey couple who turned their suburban lawn into a beautiful ecological garden.
Panelists
Following the short documentaries, a panel of experts will discuss the following topics:
Becoming a Greener Consumer
Greening Your Food Dollars
Re-wilding Your Backyard
Shifting to Renewable Energy
The panel will be moderated by WHYY’s Marty Moss-Coane, and attendees will walk away with changes they can make in their own lives to improve the health of the world around us – in our homes, our towns, and the planet.
Panelists will include:
Phil Coleman, president of aFewSteps.org, a non-profit dedicated to reducing the energy costs and carbon footprint of the communities of the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District
Faran Savitz from PennEnvironment, a policy and action group with a mission of building a greener, healthier world
Alisa Shargorodsky, founder and CEO of ECHO Systems, a circular model for reuse in grocery, restaurant, and event spaces
Mary Anne Borge, a naturalist and instructor at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, a Pennsylvania master naturalist, and editor of Butterfly Gardener
Robin Hoy, founder and a director of the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance, founder of the Wrightstown Farmers Market, and co-chair of the Wrightstown Township Environmental Advisory Council
