SUMMARY:The Elements: An Environmental Film Series presents 'Just Eat It'
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1516727210294{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nWe all love food. As a society\, we devour countless cooking shows\, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?\n\n Just Eat It documents filmmakers and food lovers Jen Rustemeyer (Producer) and Grant Baldwin (Director/Editor/Composer) as they investigate the issue of waste from farm\, through retail\, all the way to their own fridge. After their eyes are opened to the billions of dollars of good food thrown away each year in North America\, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure\, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and compelling. Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiration dates\, perfect produce and portion sizes\, and reveals the core of this issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers\, retailers\, inspiring organizations\, and consumers to the table in a story that is equal parts education and entertainment.\n\nAfter the film\, we welcome you to stay for an informal discussion.\nThe Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series is presented by the Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District\, Middlesex Community College Environmental Science Program\, The Rockfall Foundation\, and Wesleyan University’s Center for the Arts and College of the Environment.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1508609779986{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Join us for an interesting discussion with Gabe Russo of Forest City Farms. The family farm which produces organically grown food was established in 2014. The farm is located in the Central Connecticut River Valley on land leased from the City of Middletown. They are focused on contributing to the local sustainable food community in which we live. On the farm they grow a wide variety of heirloom produce which includes 40 varieties of vegetables\, fruits and herbs which are sold at farmers markets\, to local restaurants and distributed  in local CSA farm shares. We are pleased to hold this Meet Your Greens event at the Herd Restaurant which uses produce grown at the Forest City Farms. \nMeet Your Greens: Middletown Green Drinks provides networking opportunities for anyone who is interested in making connections and exchanging news about emerging environmental issues to help keep Lower Connecticut River Valley communities green and growing. An official location of Green Drinks International\, this informal monthly gathering of people drawn from the community\, nonprofit groups and the business world offers time to brainstorm ideas and plant seeds for collaboration. All are welcome and there is no admission fee\, unless otherwise noted. For more information\, please call 860-347-0340.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
