EARTH 2024 A film about our planet

Description from the event presenter Ken Wolslegel:

“Earth 2024 is not a film.  It is a multimedia presentation (like a slideshow, but much more).  Some have referred to it as a “live documentary”.  It has some video and image transitions that move in creative ways.  The imagery is accompanied by a music soundtrack while I provide live narration.

We are a quarter of the way into the 21st Century, and a health check-up on our planet is overdue.  Earth 2024 (E24) is that check-up, in the form of an original 65-minute multimedia presentation, with compelling imagery, an accompanying soundtrack, and live narration that takes a sweeping look at man’s 2.5 million year evolutionary journey and the inadvertent peril our modern lifestyles have created here on earth.  As the planet’s population closes in on 10 billion, these perils and the actions we take (or do not take) today will determine man’s future.  E24 takes a sobering look at what is happening right now to the three foundations of life on Earth: biodiversity, the oceans, and our planet’s changing climate.  The impacts already happening to our economy, public health, food security, and national security are put in plain sight.  E24 then looks to the future, and what we need to do to keep these foundations intact.”

Materials for the roadside cleanup will be available at the presentation.

Babcock Library offers an exciting opportunity for children to be introduced to, learn about, and write poetry!Poetry is a type of literature that attempts to stir a reader's imagination or emotions. The poet does this by carefully choosing and arranging language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm.Ashford’s own poet laureate, Tony Paticchio, has generously offered to lead a one-session event here at Babcock Library especially for children ages seven (7) to ten (10).Classic poems, written by venerated poets such as Robert Frost plus contemporary poets such as Gwendolyn Brooks will be featured. A special emphasis on the work of Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris will be made as they explore “lost” words through poetry and beautiful illustrations – lost words are those that are disappearing from the language of children. The class will be held on a Monday or Tuesday (depending on children’s availability) in early November at Babcock Library. The days were chosen to allow for home-schooled children to attend. Please contact Ann Harper @ librarydirector@babcocklibrary.org or phone 860-487-4420 with any questions or to express interest in participating. Tony Paticchio may be consulted directly with any questions from parents about the program (please let Ann Harper know). ... See MoreSee Less
