Locally shot "Be the Solution" environmental films to debut, celebrate Earth Day

Peace,

Love & Planet (PLP) will celebrate Earth Day by launching the nationally

recognized environmental film series “Be the Solution”.  The films, shot locally using area teen
actors, focus on raising awareness about Michigan’s environmental issues and inspire teenagers to make responsible, eco-friendly choices. The premiere of the films
will be held on Saturday April 19th, 2014 at Genitti’s, 108 E. Main,
Northville Mi, 48167


Be the Solution” Premiere will
double as a benefit for PLP. The party will include a viewing of films, live entertainment, silent auction and heavy hor d’oeuvres. Guests are encouraged to reduce, reuse, or recycle their wardrobe by coming dressed in Trash with Class. Space is limited to 200 guests. To register go to www.PeaceLoveandPlanet.org.


Founder, Gina Adams-Levy
explains, “Global issues can seem overwhelming for children but it’s important to get them involved early in their lives. 

We wanted to feature local kids examining Michigan’s problems and

embracing tangible solutions. Peers committing to make responsible choices will

hopefully motivate their fellow teens.” 

The films compliment
earth science curriculum and can be utilized in numerous ways; to launch a
lesson plan, to celebrate holidays such as America Recycles Day (11/15), Earth Hour (3/29), or Earth Day (4/22) or by PLP to introduce their programs. “Be the
Solution” films are available on Youtube at Peaceluvplanet.
