  Santa Barbara Green Living  Co-op Presents "The Cycle of Insanity: 
The Real Story of Water" Wed June 29 at the Museum of Natural 
History, 7-8:30PM  Doors Open at 6:30

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.
