Greener Bloomfield Movie Night

 Greener Bloomfield's first Movie Night will feature "King Corn,"  a   documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In the film, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm. (Info from the King Corn web site) Open to the public and free. 

We’re an organization that promotes sustainable living, working, and community in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Greener Bloomfield rebooted this summer after a too-long hiatus. Goals include implementing Sustainable Jersey programs while promoting sustainable living in Bloomfield. Please join us on the first Thursday of the month.  Find us at facebook/greenerbloomfield as well at meetup/greenerbloomfield,  www.meetup.com/GreenerBloomfield/
