The film Everything's Cool will be shown on Thursday, September 22, at 7pm in McHenry County College's Conference Center, 8900 US HWY 14, Crystal Lake. This film traces the recent history of the movement to reduce carbon in the atmosphere. The film is sponsored by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and hosted by Lou Marchi Total Recycling Institute of MCC.
The Defenders will also host an exhibit at the Woodstock Square Farmers' Market on September 24, 8am - 1pm. The exhibit, called “Our Earth Then and Now”, will highlight Defenders’ activities and portray how the earth has changed in the past 5 decades. It was 53 years ago that the modern hula hoop made its appearance. Interested children and adults will be able to try their hand -- or waist or leg or neck -- at a hula hoop.
“Our Earth Then and Now” is one event of thousands being held worldwide on Saturday, September 24, called Moving Planet. The international day of climate change is sponsored by 350.org. The group’s goals are to reduce carbon emissions, transition to renewable energy, support policies and programs that ensure financing for a fair transition, and uphold the rights of people and nature.
