Earth Days - The Film

Come for a screening of the documentary - Earth Days. The film traces the themes of the environmental movement by following the careers of several prominent early advocates: Stewart Brand, the editor of the Whole Earth Catalog; Paul Ehrlich, author of the Population Bomb; Denis Hayes, chief organizer of the original Earth Day in 1970; Hunter Lovins, a founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute and an advocate for sustainable business; Paul McCloskey, a former Congressman and a co-organizer of the first Earth Day; Dennis Meadows, co-author of Limits to Growth; Stephanie Mills, an advocate for population control; Russell L. Schweickart, an astronaut on Apollo 9 in 1969; and Stewart Udall, the Secretary of the Interior under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

The early successes of the movement are gigantic, but aren't sustained. The movie documents what happened.

There will be music and a wonderful dialogue about what Earth Day can mean to all of us.
