Penobscot Times advances climate change film series

The Penobscot Times advanced “Climate and Food,” the sixth annual Human Dimensions of Climate Change film series at the University of Maine. The series begins March 26 with “Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story,” which reveals global consequences of the systemic obsession with expiration dates, perfect produce and portion sizes. “Seeds of Time,” which chronicles the journeys of farmers around the planet on passionate and personal journeys to save seeds, will be shown April 2. And on April 9, “Meat the Truth” will tell the story of how livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes combined. All film screenings are free and open the public, and will begin at 6 p.m. in Classroom 1 at Fogler Library. The films each will be followed by a discussion, the article states. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, email Jen Bonnet at jenbonnet@maine.edu. The Portland Press Herald also previewed the film series in a roundup of food-related news in Maine.
