SUMMARY:The Elements: An Environmental Film Series presents 'A Plastic Ocean'
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1506024793265{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The proliferation of plastic products in the last 70 years or so has been extraordinary; quite simply we cannot now live without them. We are now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year\, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year. \nPlastic is cheap and incredibly versatile with properties that make it ideal for many applications. However\, these qualities have also resulted in it becoming an environmental issue. We have developed a “disposable” lifestyle and estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away. \nPlastic is a valuable resource and plastic pollution is an unnecessary and unsustainable waste of that resource. \nA Plastic Ocean documents the newest science\, proving how plastics\, once they enter the oceans\, break up into small particulates that enter the food chain where they attract toxins like a magnet. These toxins are stored in seafood’s fatty tissues\, and eventually consumed by us. \nRethink plastic. Learn more at Plastic Ocean Foundation. \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. Four screenings take place throughout the year\, alternating locations between Chapman Hall at Middlesex Community College and the Center for Film Studies at Wesleyan University. Events are always open to the public and free of charge.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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]
