Green Movies
We are a new
not-for-profit organisation with the intention of using the medium of film to
promote and influence positive change towards a sustainable future for people
and the planet. We hope to use this as a forum for people to come together and
talk about environmental issues in a social situation by providing a delicious
and environmentally friendly buffet after the movie screening. We always aim to
include a Q&A session and/or a guest speaker to increase the event
experience and to help create and expand existing dialogues. Our events support
local ethical business, community organisations, charities, NGOs and
environmental activists. We will use any profit raised during the film
screenings to fund complementary events, including activities such as seed
bombing, building natural bee hives, tree planting plus a range of seminars and
workshops. We hope to bring together existing networks and create new ones.
Come and be a part of it
You can find us on
facebook, email us at greenmoviesleeds@hotmail.co.uk,
or call 0113 2171930. Our next event is on the 14th April at the Heart Centre
in Headingley, for full information and tickets please see: http://greenmoviesflow-autohome.eventbrite.co.uk/?ebtv=C.
If you can help us spread the word we’d be very grateful!
