Registration deadline: February 24th. Cost: $5/person. Starts at 7pm. "The Story of Stuff" is a 20 minute film that takes viewers on a provocative and eye-opening tour of the real costs of our consumer driven culture from resource extraction to iPod incineration. Annie Leonard, an activist who has spent the past 10 years traveling the globe fighting environmental threats, narrates the film, delivering a rapid-fire, often humorous and always engaging story about "all our stuff, where it comes from and where it goes when we throw it away." "The Story of Cap & Trade" is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagenand on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals. If you've heard about cap and trade, but aren't sure how it works, this film is for you.
