Inundation District
Sustainable Westford is co-sponsoring a FREE screening of Inundation District with Westford Climate Action on Friday April 4th at 7 PM at the First Parish Church. Please see below for a summary of the film and film trailer:
In a time of rising seas and intensifying storms, one of the world’s wealthiest, most-educated cities (our own Boston, MA!) made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars erecting a new district along its coast — on landfill, at sea level. Unlike other places imperiled by climate change, this neighborhood of glass towers housing some of the world’s largest companies was built well after scientists began warning of the threats, including many at its renowned universities. The city, which already has more high-tide flooding than nearly any other in the United States, called its new quarter the Innovation District. But with seas rising inexorably, and at an accelerating rate, others are calling the neighborhood by a different name: Inundation District.
FREE Kiss the Ground Movie Screening
Join us for a screening of the movie, Kiss the Ground, and hear from a panel of speakers on the regenerative farming movie and how soil health can lead us to a healthier climate. There will also be a drawing for a free year of Bootstrap Composting (residents of Westford are eligible for the prize).
The movie will be hosted by Sustainable Westford on September 28th at 1:30 PM at the Parish Center for the Arts in Westford. The event is also co-sponsored by the following organizations: Westford Climate Action, Westford Community Composting, Bootstrap Compost, Weston Nurseries, and the Westford Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee.
The event is FREE and open to the public!
Narrated by Woody Harrelson, the film is a full-length documentary shedding light on a “new, old approach” to farming called regenerative agriculture, a practice with the extraordinary ability to balance our climate and feed the world.
