Environmental Events Across the UNC Campus

The Institute for the Environment strives to build a stronger intellectual community through programs that stimulate discussion of environmental issues on campus and in the larger society. The program maintains this listing of all environmental events at UNC. The Institute will list an environmental event upon request. To list your event, please send information about your UNC-affiliated environmental event to ie@unc.edu. Please note that the Institute acts as a clearinghouse for environmental information on the Carolina campus. Listing on this page, or carriage on the Institute Listserv, does not necessarily imply sponsorship or endorsement of any event by the program. To find information about any event at Carolina, go to the Carolina Calendar.

If you'd like to advertise your environmental event on our Event Calendar, please contact Danielle Del Sol. Subscribe to this feed

Epsilon Eta Film Night
Date: Dec 07, 2009 6:30 PM

Location: Howell Hall, Room 104

Join Epsilon Eta, UNC s environmental honors fraternity, for a nation-wide pre-DVD release screening of the documentary No Impact Man! We will be presenting this film in coalition with the No Impact Project (NIP) and Center for a New American Dream (CNAD).

December 7th is the first day of the historic UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen, so to honor this event we are showing a film that seeks to address the role consumerism plays in our daily lives, and how it affects our individual environmental impact.
As part of the screening we will be providing free local and organic snacks! We will also be offering tips on how to reduce your environmental impact and holiday shop in a more sustainable manner. And on December 8th, we will follow up the screening with a live interactive online video chat.
Film Synopsis:
No Impact Man follows the story of Colin Beavan, who decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year. It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, buses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage. No problem at least for Colin but he and his family live in Manhattan. So when his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshiping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own.
