Screen Day – this Friday October 22

I know this is late notice, but I just received this outreach information and wanted to make sure you get the notice about Screen Day – which is happening this Friday October 22 from 10:00 – 1:00 at Pacific Cinematheque’s downtown theater. (poster attached)

Screen Day will be showing the movie called, The Age of Stupid. The goal of screen day is to encourage youth to understand that there is a big burden that youth face concerning environmental issues. Although these issues may seem big, youth can make a change. Participants will be discussing how little changes in lifestyle (aspects such as food, waste, energy and water) can make a positive impact and can change the course our society seems to be set on.

Seating is limited, so if people are interested they should email ECHO at echo4teens@gmail.com. The cost is $3, but if you reserve a spot by emailing ECHO before October 21st, admission will be $2. There will be limited free food, but items such as popcorn and candy will be sold at Pacific Cinematheque’s concession stand.

Screen Day is organized by ECHO (Education Creating High school Opportunities). ECHO is a district-wide student sustainability group who meet once a week to find sustainable solutions in schools. ECHO gives high school students from across Vancouver the opportunity to meet with like-minded teens who share their passion for the environment and the building of our community.
