11/08 – Greennovate Movie Night – ‘Addicted to Plastic’

by Tom Bley on August 9, 2010

Join us this Wednesday, for another iteration of our Green Movie Night.

We are going to watch ’Addicted To Plastic’. “For anyone who’s wondered what eventually happens to all the plastic in water bottles, packaging, and hundreds of other everyday uses, the feature-length documentary Addicted to Plastic offers a visually compelling, entertaining, ultimately frightening explanation…Candid interviews, especially a particularly revealing one with a representative of the industry’s American Plastics Council, permit viewers to form their own opinions. Connacher’s on-screen presence as a curious, energized hipster on a plastic road trip lends immediacy to his narrative and enables him to filter complex information and hypotheses into a manageable form that will provoke viewers without confusing them. All in all, Addicted to Plastic is an absorbing, shocking, only partially reassuring odyssey.” Jeffrey L. Meikle, Professor, American Studies, University of Texas at Austin, Author, American Plastic: A Cultural History

Bring your own drinks and snacks, preferrably in reusable containers, and not made from plastics! ;-)

28/07 – Greennovate Movie Night – ‘An Inconvenient Truth’

by Tom Bley on July 23, 2010

Our movie night has become very popular, and we are overwhelmed by the nice people and the refreshing atmosphere. This week’s film ‘Earthlings’ was suggested to us by a movie night guest. If you have a suggestion for what we should play, be it a short or long movie, just let us know!

We get so many visitors now, that from next week on, we will introduce a reservation system. Our cozy rooftop can only accomodate 35 movie watchers, so we ask you to make a reservation in order to attend the event.

Maybe we will bring a few tables and chairs in the next, so you can sit down and chat about the exchange. After the the movie, we will have a little discussion on the topic of the film. The intention is to make everyone get the most out of the movie.
Hope that the concerns of interest to our friends, click greennovate sponsor, facilitate timely information to the movies to look good to you!

Next wek, we will watch: An Inconvenient Truth

Synopsis: An Inconvenient Truth focuses on Al Gore and his travels in support of his efforts to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Gore says, “I’ve been trying to tell this story for a long time and I feel as if I’ve failed to get the message across.” The film documents a Keynote presentation (dubbed the slide show) that Gore has presented throughout the world. It intersperses Gore’s exploration of data and predictions regarding climate change and its potential for disaster with his own life story.

Invite your friends! To participate, please complete the registration form on Douban.com: http://www.douban.com/event/12272628/

Bring your own drinks and snacks!

Looking forward to see you on our green rooftop next week!
