SUMMARY:Eco-Friendly Home! DIY Cleaners & More
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 4th\, 2023\n6:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nShawangunk Town Hall Community Room\n14 Central Ave\, Wallkill\, NY 12589\nWe all have favorite household products that we rely on because they work well. It could be anything from a preferred cleaner to a preferred toothpaste. Some of the brands and products we’ve grown to love contain chemicals that don’t love us back. Bleach\, ammonia\, and oven cleaners are examples of chemical cleaning agents that can irritate our skin\, eyes\, and respiratory tract. Some beauty products also contain fragrances and chemicals whose health risks are still unknown. Many of these products are also classified as Hazardous Waste and require safe disposal. \nAlthough eco-friendly alternatives are becoming more widely available in stores\, you can easily make your own at home with very simple and low-cost ingredients! Curious? Join us at our Eco-Friendly Home workshop to learn how to make your own products that are better for the environment\, your health\, and your wallet! \nThis class will be hosted in-person at the Shawangunk Town Hall by Tanesia White\, in collaboration with the Wallkill Public Library. After a short presentation with several demos\, participants will leave with their own recipes and DIY Products. All class materials are provided. \nSign up for this event is now closed! Please email kosullivan@rcls.org. \n\nAccessibility: This event will take place in the community room of Shawangunk Town Hall. Parking is available in front of the entrance as well as in the library and Town Hall lots\, located on either side of the building. The door to the community room opens automatically and there is a lift directly inside the building that will take participants down to the community room. Restrooms are located down a short hallway just past the community room. \nWe strive to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request. If you require any special accommodations or have questions about this program\, please contact Tanesia White\, Recycling Educator\, at TWHI@UCRRA.ORG  or 845-336-3336. \n\nShare This Story!

SUMMARY:Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story
DESCRIPTION:UCRRA & the Shandaken Conservation Advisory Council have partnered with the Phoenicia Playhouse Community Theatre for this community screening of the educational documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story. The 1:00 PM Sunday showing on August 20th\, 2023 will feature FREE ADMISSION\, sponsored by the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. We all love food. As a culture\, we devour countless cooking shows\, culinary magazines and foodie blogs… So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash? \n\nAbout the Film:\n\nFilmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm\, through retail\, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America\, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure\, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue\, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences. Featuring interviews with TED lecturer\, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom\, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates\, perfect produce and portion sizes\, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers\, retailers\, inspiring organizations\, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\nRunning Time: Educational cut 50 min\nDirector: Grant Baldwin\nProducer: Jenny Rustemeyer\nExecutive Producers: Melanie Wood (Stranger Productions)\, Murray Battle (Knowledge Network)\n\nAwards\n\nBest Documentary – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Director – Leo Awards\nBest Documentary Musical Score – Leo Awards\nAudience Award – CPH:DOX\nVIFF Impact Award – Vancouver International Film Festival\nEmerging Canadian Filmmaker & Top 20 Audience Choice – Hot Docs\nPeople’s Choice Award – Calgary International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Documentary – Edmonton International Film Festival\nMust See BC Winner & Runner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nBest Canadian Feature – Planet in Focus\n2015 Festival Choice – One Earth Film Festival\nBest Environmental Film – Sedona International Film Festival\nGrand Jury Prize – Yale Environmental (EFFY)\nBest Documentary – Lake Erie Arts and Film Festival\nTop 20 Audience Choice – IDFA\nTop 20 Audience Picks – Hot Docs\nRunner Up Most Popular Documentary – Vancouver International Film Festival\nFinalist – CINE Golden Eagle Award (Nonfiction Content\, Feature – Environment and Science)\nFinalist – James Beard Awards (Documentary)\nFinalist – Scripps Howard Award for Environmental Reporting
