Feb. 13: Sustainable Business and Sustainable Government We can’t have a sustainable planet without curbing the way we do business and manage our governments. The films selected for Thursday night address the environmental impact our profit-at-all-costs business model has on our communities, such as The Hidden Debt, which looks at the health and environmental costs of mining and other industries. Voices of Transition details the movement to bring communities back to a local, more sustainable model while You’ve Been Trumped examines the tactics of Donald Trump as he pushes a sprawling golf development on an unspoiled Scottish coastal town. Director Filippo Piscopo will be on hand to discuss his film, Coal Rush, which follows the members of a mountain village who file suit against a mining company for the health hazards associated with the business. The questions raised: Why are these poor, sick people expected to fight the rich and powerful polluters? Why can’t these businesses be expected to operate with integrity without being forced by litigation or regulations to do the right thing? Wednesday ends with a celebration of local sustainable businesses by bringing back last year’s premier Vintage Verde, a fashion show featuring clothing from consignment shops and locally owned boutiques, all modeled by Cinema Verde’s fabulous interns and friends.
