[OKC] Sustainability on Film at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art

[Shauna Struby]

Sustainable OKC, the Cimarron Chapter of Sierra Club, and Slow Food OKC are
sponsoring a sustainable film series at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art,
Wed., Sept 15 -- Sun., Sept 20, with a panel discussion following the Sunday
film.

 

"Sustainability on Film" 
As our economic, social and environmental activities become increasingly
integrated on a global scale, the human species faces unprecedented
challenges. In the wake of the groundbreaking documentary "An Inconvenient
Truth," filmmakers have been examining the complex issues facing our species
and planet: climate change, dwindling natural resources, population growth,
economic crises and political conflict. Along the way humans are finding
innovative, simple solutions from growing their own food, to green building,
to developing new forms of renewable energy. These films explore how we meet
our needs in the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet theirs. Join us Sunday after the final screening for a
panel discussion, "Sustainability in Oklahoma: Where Do We Go from Here?"
with local experts on how Oklahomans are dealing with the global issue of
sustainability.
