Dexter Utility District meeting (at pump plant) 7 PM
Dexter Area Towns in Transition (DATT) is holding the final night of our free film series in the basement of the Abbott Memorial Library at 6:30 PM on Thursday February 9th.
Two short films will be shown and then discussed.
"The Story of Stuff" examines how we are influenced as consumers to want things that we don't really need, and how that influence affects all aspects of our lives.
"Wake Up/ Freak Out/ and Get a Grip" is a brief look at the "tipping points" of climate change and oil supply, and what we can do once we recognize the situation.
Large topics, short movies, interesting discussion afterwards, fueled by local refreshments! Please come and bring any friends you might like.
DATT is a group of local residents working together to make a conscious plan to use less energy, and we invite your support
