The Sustainability Film Series draws MTU faculty, staff, and students;
area teachers & students; and the local community. The Film Series began in 2011. Films are selected with the goal of sharing relevant information and enhancing the capability of campus and community members to share ideas and make informed sustainable decisions. The Film Series provides a platform for promoting greater community awareness, understanding, and activism, while connecting our local community to the larger global community.
Films focus on a range of topics related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability--water, energy, climate change, agriculture, food, waste, economics, transportation, indigenous peoples, and much more. A person knowledgeable on the topic is invited to facilitate informal discussion with participants.
Community members enjoy refreshments and engaging discussion.
Films may be used for educational purposes at no charge. Films are available for a 2-week checkout for classrooms, meetings, or home viewings. To borrow films, contact Alan Turnquist at the MTU Office of Sustainability & Resilience.
The film series is coordinated by the Michigan Tech Office of Sustainability & Resilience. Films are selected by the cosponsors (see below).
