Over 200 members of our greater 5-C and Claremont community came together on Friday, February 19th to celebrate sustainable, local, and organic food. The Scripps' Environmental Club put on a fabulous dinner that showcased cuisine from the local health food store, Ecoterra, and an array of local, organic farms. A student documentary on the Mallott Commons was then screened to begin the discussion: What are we eating? How do we become active, conscious consumers?
Following the student documentary, we had a representative from Participant Films, the production company that produced Food, Inc. introduce the film to then be concluded with the film's engrossing journey through an examination of the food industry in the US. We wrapped up the evening with many different engaging discussions throughout the Motley for everyone to process the evening's educational material and consider what they can do to address the issues at hand!
Keep an eye out for more activism opportunities and educational events with the Motley and the Scripps' Environmental Club. There will be a follow up event occurring shortly!
