"Green Night Out at the Movies" Event This Saturday in Batavia

Will Garbage Man return for another celebrity visit? How about the lovely lady in the plastic bag gown? One never knows who will show up for Batavia Environmental Commission’s “Green Night Out at the Movies” event, 2012, this Saturday, Feb. 11, at 6:45 p.m. in

What you can count on is a fun, free evening that will not only leave you entertained, but also educated in new ways to make your life, and our world, greener and healthier. 

This year’s feature film, Chemerical, chronicles a typical family as they learn about the chemicals they use in their daily life. Household cleaning products and personal products, such as toothpaste, shampoo and makeup are held up for green and safety inspection. Most fail.

We watch how this family copes (or not) with the removal of their familiar commercial products, which are replaced with green and safe homemade alternatives. 

The film starts at 7:15 p.m., but the action starts at 6:45 p.m. with exhibits from local green groups, businesses and organizations. Come speak with students and families who have experimented with making their own products and find out “the real dirt” on cleaning without chemical-laden commercial products. Dr. Jennifer Echert will lead a post-movie discussion and share her expert knowledge and experience with solutions to chemical toxicity.

This is truly a Green event! Local, organic popcorn is FREE but only to those who bring their own reusable container.  (Bring your reusable drink container as well for some great Batavia water.)

Old running shoes will be collected by Ecomaniacs club for their current recycling project. 

See you Saturday … at the GREEN movies!!
