LOCAL BURGER and FILMS FOR ACTION of Lawrence
to co-sponsor a night of organic short films
with SUSTAINABLE TABLE
at 7 p.m., Aug. 23, at LIBERTY HALL
Lawrence, Kan. – Sustainable Table (http://www.sustainabletable.org/) is traveling across the country with “The Eat Well Guided Tour of America.” The group is stopping in select U.S. cities from Hollywood to New York to celebrate local food and the people who grow it.
While visiting Lawrence, the group will team with Local Burger and Films for Action to present Rural Route Film Festival’s “Go Organic!” film series, a collection of short documentary films highlighting positive sustainable and organic practices that are growing in momentum in communities all across the country. The event starts at 7 p.m., Aug. 23, at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., Lawrence.
Hilary Brown’s Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., Lawrence, will provide free organic and local food for the event. A $5 admission will cover costs and support Films for Action’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness about positive local and organic food solutions.
Award-winning sustainability journalist Simran Sethi, Lacy Haynes Professional Chair at the University of Kansas School of Journalism, will speak at the event. Sethi is the host/writer for the Sundance Channel’s program, “The Green.”
“With public awareness growing about the dangers of genetically modified foods, factory farming, corporately patented terminator seeds, and our current agricultural system’s dependence on increasingly expensive fossil fuels, communities are looking for more healthy and sustainable alternatives,” says Tim Hjersted, director of the Films for Action project.
“These films provide an inspiring look at the innovation and widespread efforts that are taking place all over the country to create more localized and healthy food economies. We’re happy to support and raise awareness for many of the positive local initiatives that are happening here in Lawrence right now.”
