A Canoe Tour of the Anacostia Conducted by
Anacostia Watershed Society
Saturday, June 26, 2010

Time: 8:30 a.m.
Place: Bladensburg Waterfront Park
4601 Annapolis Road
Bladensburg, MD 20710

Our Anacostia River was once the most polluted river in the country. Through decades of actions of citizens groups such as the Anacostia Watershed Society, that is no longer the case, but there is still much work to be done. Learn about the battle to save our watershed from front-line activists while enjoying a canoe tour of the river. There is still much beauty to enjoy and preserve. Canoes & life vests will be provided. Bring water, dress appropriately and use sunscreen. The tour will be about 3 hours long. There is a $25 fee to cover AWS's liability insurance. Please RSVP Susan Barnett, Susan Barnett, susnbarn@earthlink.net, 301-474-7465.

Reel and Meal at the New Deal

Monday, July 19, 2010

Time: 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.

Come early (6:30) the the New Deal Café in Roosevelt Center in Greenbelt Maryland to get a delicious vegan meal (optional) prepared by Chef Karim ($13). The rest of the program is free! Learn about important subjects through documentary films and discussion.

This month's feature is "The End of the Line” , the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans, had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition. Sundance took place in Park City, Utah, January 15-25, 2009. In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.
It examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, brought on by increasing western demand for sushi; the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish; and the profound implications of a future world with no fish that would bring certain mass starvation.
