TOMORROW is the final showing for Green Bexley's FREE Sustainable September Film Series!
"2040" is a story of hope, and a positive vision of what ‘could be’, instead of the dystopian future we are so often presented.
This hybrid feature film/documentary follows a man motivated by concerns about the planet his 4-year-old daughter will inherit. He embarks on a global journey to meet innovators and changemakers in economics, technology, civil society, agriculture, education and sustainability.
Drawing on their expertise, he works to identify the best solutions, available to us now, that would help improve the health of our planet and the societies that operate within it. From marine permaculture to decentralized renewable energy projects, he discovered that people all over the world are taking matters into their own hands.

From Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain comes "WASTED! The Story of Food Waste", presented TOMORROW as the next installment of Green Bexley's Sustainable September Free Film Series!
WASTED! THE STORY OF FOOD WASTE aims to change the way people buy, cook, recycle, and eat food. Through the the eyes of chef-heroes like Anthony Bourdain, Dan Barber, Mario Batali, Massimo Bottura, and Danny Bowien, audiences will see how the world’s most influential chefs make the most of every kind of food, transforming what most people consider scraps into incredible dishes that create a more secure food system. WASTED! exposes the criminality of food waste and how it’s directly contributing to climate change and shows us how each of us canmake small changes –all of them delicious –to solve one of the greatest problems of the 21st Century.
Come out tomorrow, 9/18 at 2pm at Mees Hall on the Capital University campus.

It's true-- downtown Columbus is basically a parking lot 😬 Each of these surface lots (yellow) could be replaced with a handful of parking garages (purple), which then leaves room for additional transit hubs, businesses, and public amenities 🤯
We could do so much better! What would you like to see in downtown Columbus instead of parking lots? Comment with your ideas below 👇
