SUMMARY:Unbroken Ground - Online Film
DESCRIPTION:Online film showing of ‘Unbroken Ground‘ by Chris Malloy. \nFollowed by a discussion with Jackie Ricotta. \nOur food choices are deeply connected to climate change. Unbroken Ground explains the critical role food will play in the next frontier of our efforts to solve the environmental crisis.  This film explores four areas of agriculture that aim to change our relationship to the land and oceans. Most of our food is produced using methods that reduce biodiversity\, decimate soil and contribute to climate change. We believe our food can and should be a part of the solution to the environmental crisis – grown\, harvested and produced in ways that restore our land\, water and wildlife. The film tells the story of four groups that are pioneers in the fields of regenerative agriculture\, regenerative grazing\, diversified crop development and restorative fishing. \nTo join the event (via Google Hangout)\, please send email to HammontonGreenEvents@Gmail.com \nPlease RSVP by May 5\, 2020 at 5pm and you will receive a link to the event. \nThis is the first virtual event of the 2020 eye opening film and lecture series.

SUMMARY:Webinar on health and climate hazards of biogas
DESCRIPTION:Bio(gas)hazards: Dirty Air\, Factory Farms and Climate Change\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil and gas companies are teaming up with factory farms to sell us a greenwashed nightmare: manure as renewable energy.\n\nManure-to-energy\, or “biogas\,” uses manure from factory farms to create natural gas. It entrenches factory farms by creating a market for the huge volumes of manure they produce. Investing in the massive infrastructure needed to produce biogas wastes critical resources that should be used to shift us toward real renewable energy. It will disproportionately impact communities of color. And it won’t address our climate crisis or our factory farm problem.
