Our Sustainability Cafe series this week will show "The Story of Stuff."
This cafe will be held in Williams Hall Room 222 at 4:00p.m, on
Thursday, March 27 (tomorrow).
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in
our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is
hidden from view. /“/**The Story of Stuff”** is a 20-minute, fast-paced,
fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption
patterns. “*The Story of Stuff”* exposes the connections between a huge
number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to
create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something,
it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the
stuff in your life forever.
A follow-up discussion of the film will be led by representatives from
ICare.
"Teachable edibles" will be served - these are sponsored by Ithaca
College Dining Services. Bring your own reusable mug and fill up at the
drinking fountain or bring your beverage of choice.
