Now, more than ever, we need positive voices in the ecological crisis. Join the Meaningful Movies Project to see director Damon Gameau’s 2040, a hopeful film about climate change solutions and “exercise in fact-based dreaming.” Using only the solutions that are available to us today, Damon envisions a positive future for our children and the planet. The event will take place on Monday, July 12th at 6:30pm PT.The film takes a solutions-based approach to how we can mitigate, using the technology we already have, the enormous global issues we currently face. The main themes/solutions looked at in the film are empowerment of women and girls; marine permaculture and ocean regeneration; regenerative agriculture; renewable energy; and circular economy. It’s a story of hope, and a powerful tool to encourage people to take action.Zoom Meeting Link: zoom.us/j/96698666643NOTE: This screening will be done a bit differently than our other screenings in that you’ll log onto our Zoom meeting to receive a link and password to watch the film, and then rejoin the Zoom meeting after you’ve watched the film to discuss what we can all do now to help mitigate climate change.Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/events/550174152808572/To learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/2040/ ...
