Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
The South Shore YMCA in Hanover, the South Shore Natural Science
\nCenter and Sustainable Hanover are collaborating to empower and
\neducate healthy eating, sustainability, community connection and
\nenvironmental responsibility through a thought-provoking film series
\ncalled \/What ARE We Eating??? \/<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collaborative effort began with an idea to build a garden in
\n2009\u201d says Kim Engle, Arts and Education Director at the South Shore
\nYMCA; \u201cwe collaborated with Sustainable Hanover and found ourselves
\nwith a portable greenhouse, a successful sustainability fundraising
\nevent and the realization that we need to do more education.\u201d
\nSustainable Hanover and the South Shore YMCA continued their joint
\nefforts with a few small film events, kids\u2019 events and teen events.
\nIn September of 2011, the Y began its official partnership with the
\nSouth Shore Natural Science Center and the film series was realized. <\/p>\n
This month\u2019s film will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the South Shore
\nNatural Science Center on:<\/p>\n
\/February 16, 2012\/
\n*\/FRESH\/**–*celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people
\nacross America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has
\nwitnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an
\nindustrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination,
\nenvironmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid
\nobesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a
\npractical vision for a future of our food and our planet. \u201cWhere
\nFRESH departs from Food Inc., The Omnivore\u2019s Dilemma, and most other
\nfood documentaries of late, is that FRESH is downright hopeful.\u201d \u2013
