Engaging, entertaining, educational - Environmental films in Athens, Georgia.

Americans work some of the longest hours on Earth. Many studies have demonstrated the connection between overwork and higher greenhouse gas emissions, larger ecological footprints, poor health, social disconnection, disconnection between children and nature, and declining happiness. While European environmentalists generally recognize these connections, Americans have been slow to understand them. John de Graaf argues that overwork and time balance are key issues for the future of the planet. Mr de Graaf’s talk and discussion will begin at 11:15am. His 27-minute film – The Great Vacation Squeeze – will be shown starting at 12 noon. His film will be shown again at EcoFocus on Saturday, March 22 at 5:30 pm at Ciné along with Slomo and Dying Green.
