Thursday, January 29th at 7:00 p.m.
at Whole Wheat & Honey Café (corner of 100 St. and 100 Ave., Fort St. John)
There will be a free film screening and discussion. This night is generously being sponsored by Urban Systems.
This month we’ll be watching the acclaimed documentary The End of Suburbia. This film examines the (North) American Dream—-specifically its expression in the form of suburbia—-and underlines just how unsustainable this form of growth is. As one of the film’s contributors states, "We’re literally stuck up a cul-de-sac in a cement SUV without a fill-up."
This film identifies the need for immediate action—-on individual and collective levels-—to help build sustainable communities.
Fort St. John has just undergone a sustainable neighbourhood planning process, so now is the perfect time to start dialoguing as a community on this issue.
Bring your questions, ideas and knowledge. NEAT doesn’t pretend to be the expert on all things carbon-related, so we’re counting on our community to help us fill the gaps.
We hope that the ideas and questions generated at this NEAT Night will be fuel for a follow-up event where we can start to identify some workable, regionally relevant solutions. Please pass this notice along to anyone who might be interested or have knowledge in re-localizing our community’s food, money, culture, energy, governance, media, and more.
