Down To Earth

Sun People Dry Goods to show the film “Blue Gold” today at 4pm

Without a doubt, our world is shifting towards a water crisis. But what are the environmental and political implications of the planet's dwindling water supply? Will there be wars fought over water? What are some of the success stories of smart use and how do we make the case for better stewardship?

Sun People Dry Goods is helping move this dialogue along with a free showing of Blue Gold: World Water Wars. From the film description: In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water as population and technology grows. The rampant overdevelopment of agriculture, housing and industry increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, resulting in the desertification of the earth. Corporate giants force developing countries to privatize their water supply for profit. Wall Street investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes. Corrupt governments use water for economic and political gain. Military control of water emerges and a new geo-political map and power structure forms, setting the stage for world water wars.  

The film goes from 4-5:30pm and Sun People Dry Goods is located at 32 West 2nd Ave.

Trailer after the jump.
