Bringing Leopold Home: What You Can do to Keep the Green Fire Burning
Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our TimeOctober 23rd, 2011
Join the Center for Humans and Nature and Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) for the upcoming ‘Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for our Time’ screening on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. on the NEIU main campus. The theme for the event is Bringing Leopold Home: What you can do to keep the green fire burning.
NEIU Environmental Studies students are organizing this Green Fire screening. Students enrolled in an Environmental Interpretation course (Geography and Environmental Studies Department) at NEIU will be organizing the event. Students learn the fundamental concepts of Environmental Interpretation while applying their knowledge to planning, promoting, and leading a post-screening activity for the campus and surrounding community. Event details are being planned and implemented by this group of 15 Environmental Studies majors, giving students the opportunity to develop and practice many important skills, including community organizing, effective communication, group decision-making, and eliciting inspiration.
The students have arranged for giveaways and an activity where audience members share their Green Fire moments. The students will also be compiling information for interested audience members regarding ways to get involved in various environmental efforts within the local community.
The event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary. Please contact Melinda Merrick (m-merrick1@neiu.edu) or Anja Claus (anjaclaus@humansandnature.og) for more information.
