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.
