Princeton’s Environmental Film Fest

The Princeton Public Library this week and next is hosting a full lineup of talks, workshops and movie screenings designed to get people thinking and doing good for the environment (and themselves — who wouldn’t like to grow their own salad greens?)

It’s the annual Princeton Environmental Film Festival, this Friday through Jan. 11.

Get cozy with green builders, learn how to turn a chunk of yard into breakfast and lunch, meet one of the innovators behind the Willow School and watch movies on coal, suburbia, sharks, plastic, climate change, trash, Princeton’s own Herban Garden, the world water crisis and more.

Among the scheduled speakers: Heidi Cullen, Charles Lyons and Berrien Moore III of Climate Central; Elizabeth Royte, author of Garbage Land and Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It; “garblogger”-journalist Leila Darabi of everydaytrash; Rutgers director of purchasing Kevin Lyons; and shark experts Wendy Benchley and Stan Waterman.

We salute festival coordinator Susan Conlon and her fellow planners for the schedule of events, which looks great. Click here to see it.
