“The films highlight local action in agriculture and adventure and show how local communities can turn the tide and respond to these environmental threats with creativity, resolve and heart.” says Crag Law Center Executive Director, Ralph Bloemers.
These films are visually stunning and fun to watch. They will help educate viewers on the connectivity between human activity and overall environmental health, and show that we all can make a difference when it comes to the environment, both locally as well as globally.
