Hello Friend,

This Thanksgiving weekend, you are invited to join us for a virtual film festival.

Our friends at ForestPlanet, Inc. are producing an on-demand film screening of the award-winning films “From Seed to Seed” and “Farming the Sky.”  Both films address positive trends in sustainable food production, appropriate for the season.

Registrants may stream these films multiple times during a six-day availability window starting today, November 25th, through 12midnight Wednesday November 30th (Eastern Time US). Watch at your convenience from wherever you are!

Registration is only $15, and each registration plants 50 trees, so you can do a solid for the planet just by watching from the comfort of your own home.

"From Seed to Seed" (87 minutes) follows a small-scale organic farming family, as well as a diverse group of Canadian farmers, for a season of challenges and rewards. Experts are working with these farmers using a blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge science to develop improved methods for growing food ecologically and in a changing climate.

This hopeful and award-winning story provides one perspective on a global social movement toward healthy and regenerative farming practices.

"Farming the Sky" is a short film that features a new kind of greenhouse in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The building packs a perfectly controlled growing environment into a vertical space located on a sliver of land, the first of its kind in the northern hemisphere. This urban farm provides the local community with super-fresh produce, no matter the weather.

These are excellent films that we are sure you will enjoy. And the best part...

EACH REGISTRATION PLANTS FIFTY TREES. Consider it a modest "Giving Tuesday" gift that gives right back!

About ForestPlanet

ForestPlanet plants trees where they will have the greatest benefit to the soil, local habitat, the environment, and communities in peril.  We hope this event will raise enough funds for them to plant tens of thousands of trees around the world, which will quickly:

• Stabilize soils
• Help the land retain rainwater
• Provide income and food security to local populations
• Provide habitat for the region's wildlife

Tree roots hold water and stimulate microbial activity in the soil, which creates a virtuous cycle of recovery.  Even young trees help protect soils from direct sun and retain rainwater, allowing inter-planted food crops to thrive.  Working together, the trees and the ground crops can quickly restore degraded lands to abundant fertility.

We hope you will join us, since no matter what, this is a guaranteed ‘win’ for everyone.

Thanks for all you do!

Bob
