Documentary Screening -- Earth 2024

January 15, 2024 6:30 pm -

Start the year 2024 by learning what you can do to help save the planet. Earth 2024 (E24) is a powerful multimedia presentation examining the state of Earth’s natural systems, on which all life depends. Environmental scientist and Woodstock resident, Ken Wolslegel, produced E24 to show the negative impacts of man’s actions on the environment and to explore what we can do to rescue our world. He was inspired by his deep concern about the future we will be leaving to our children, if we don’t act to change course now. While E24 takes a hard look at the global risks we’ve created, it also offers solutions that can lead to a healthy, livable Earth for generations to come. No registration required. Free.
