(Olympia, WA) Olympia residents and City officials will plant the city green on Saturday, March 29. ONE THOUSAND (1000!) trees will sprout along Olympia’s streets and walkways in the morning. A community celebration will be held in the afternoon at the Olympia Timberland Library.

“With our innovative NeighborWoods program and in-house tree nursery, Olympia is a national leader in municipal urban forestry,” says Olympia Mayor Doug Mah. “The community enthusiasm for our 1000 Trees in One Day event has been fantastic. As of today, over 500 community volunteers have stepped forward to help, and locations for over 1,000 new trees have been identified,” says Mah.

This film on Biodynamics in India reveals the hidden battle of marginal farmers to own seeds, to grow diverse crops, to feed themselves and their communities. This film reveals how precarious our existence on this planet is, how flawed the mantra of unlimited growth in a finite world and the reality of what happens to people when we treat them as means of production.

This film will be shown March 24 from 7-9pm at Traditions Fair Trade Cafe, for more information contact Terra Commons: Michael Kelly (360) 866-1331 terracommons@gmail.com www.terracommons.us
