FESTIVAL GOES LIVE HERE ON APRIL 16

The first Earth Day, in 1970, arose from concern about very serious environmental threats – a major oil spill off the California coast, pollutants on fire on the surface of an Ohio river, and aerial spraying of the toxic insecticide DDT, to name a few. But it’s been too easy to organize Earth Day actions like beach cleanups, tree planting and recycling. True Earth stewardship requires more significant action and more comprehensive understanding of ecological overshoot and what it takes to live in a safe space within planetary boundaries.

So we’ve curated a collection of films addressing this need. During the days before and after Earth Day 2026, invite neighbors and friends, and gather family to view and discuss. Watch here or on YouTube. . . .
