Apr 19 10:00 AM	Earth Day Volunteers Needed!! 5 attended (est.) – 5.001 Zero Waste San Diego's mission is to create, promote and implement programs that maximize management and conservation of resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, and persuade citizens, businesses, and governments in the San Diego County region to adopt a zero waste philosophy. This will be the second year for the San Diego Earth Fair to set a goal to become a Zero Waste Event. We would like you to be a part of it! Recycling has been available since the beginning of Earth Day and recently collection of organic materials for composting has been added. In the past, the organics bins were only placed in the food court area, but this year we will have the organics bins placed throughout the park. There remains some mixed material in the trash, comprised of both non-recyclable and recyclable materials, but most of this material could be recycled. Our members and volunteers have a very important responsibility. To get to zero waste we need to make sure that the attendees use the appropriate bin. Our volunteers will be the guide. We will use this opportunity to teach attendees how zero waste can eliminate the need for landfills and concepts such as “waste,” educate attendees about the need for manufacturer redesign and responsibility, greenhouse gas emission reductions by recycling, and monetary value of resource management versus landfill reliance. We ask your assistance to make this worthy goal a reality this Earth Day. We need the total of 130 volunteers to create a successful event. We ask that each volunteer commit a minimum of 4 hours. The first shift will take place from 10:00am to 2:00pm and the second shift will be from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. If you would like to volunteer for the whole day, we do have lead volunteers spots open. To register please email Zero Waste San Diego at contact@zerowastesandiego.org.	Only members of this Group can view the location for this Meetup	5 Yes 4 Maybe

Sep 08 19 2008 6:00 PM	Flow the film - Landmark Ken Theater 10 attended (est.) – 4.003 Flow the Film opens September 19 in San Diego and I'm planning on going if anyone else wants to meet up. Maybe grab a bite to eat before the movie? Tickets are not on sale yet, so we'll have to coordinate that a little closer to time. This is the only theater in town playing the film so we might want to get tickets online. I figure it probably starts 7-ish, but I'll update as I find more information. About the Film: "Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?" Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround."
