Garbage - The Revolution Starts at Home! On Tuesday, June 23rd, 90 people, from all generations, attended this documentary film about one family's garbage creation over the course of three months. The event, held at the Howe Library, was Co-sponsored by the Sierra Club, the Upper Valley Land Trust, Vermont Earth Institute (VEI), SERG, Sustainable Hanover, and the Greater Upper Valley Solid Waste District. Responses to the film varied - some felt it thought-provoking, others felt it amateurish and misleading. That said, it inspired dialogue and action. One area teen visited the Lebanon Landfill to learn more about Garbage in our community. To learn more about her experience, visit the Voicethread report she created. To play the report, just click link, then select the 'play' arrow below the beginning picture. If you want to make a comment on her experience, you will need to log in - It is an incredible tool that Sustainable Hanover will use in the coming months. Join the dialogue! --------------------------------------------------------------- 2/07/09 Community Workshop Priority Actions
