The Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op will present a screening of
"The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water", followed by a
discussion about ideas and practical solutions to fix the water cycle in
our local area. The event takes place on Wednesday, June 29, 2011, from
7:00-8:30 PM at the Museum of Natural History, in the Auditorium, 2559
Puesta del Sol, Santa Barbara 93105. Doors open at 6:30.
The Cycle of Insanity is a short, animated film made by a collaboration
of creative and dedicated volunteers at the Surfrider Foundation.
Several local Surfrider Foundation chapters combined their talents and
funds to create the film.
The premise of the film is that the water cycle we all learned about in
the 4th grade has been dramatically altered over time, leaving us with a
broken system that wastes water and energy, pollutes our natural
waterways, harms critical marine life, and poorly deals with flooding and
other water management problems.
The film serves to take a holistic look at water management, highlight
controversial problems, and suggest solutions that integrate multiple
economic and environmental benefits. After the screening of the 20 minute
film, Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op will facilitate a discussion among
audience members about ideas and solutions that are already being
implemented or could work in our local area, to move us toward a
healthier relationship with water.
Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op, a program of Watershed Management
Group, is based on the barn raising model, where people volunteer their
labor to build sustainable systems and then earn the ability to host a
workshop at their own homes with a volunteer crew. The Co-op
provides certified workshop leaders to its members with expertise in
rainwater harvesting earthworks, cisterns, greywater systems, food
production, and waste management.
The event is free and open to the public. Donations are
welcome.
