Dear Friends of Hancock County Transition Towns:

          On Sunday, October 10, 2010, Hancock County Transition Towns,
Alliance for Democracy , League of Women Voters Downeast, Unitarian
Universalist Church of Ellsworth  Adult Religious Education Committee, Peace
and Social Action Committee, and Unitarian Universalist Congregation of
Castine have joined forces to celebrate The 10/10/10 Global Work Party.  This
event is being coordinated by the international climate campaign 350.org and
10:10 Global.  350.org is an international campaign that's building a
movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the
solutions that science and justice demand.  *Their mission is to inspire the
world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense
of urgency and of possibility for our planet.**
*

           Starting at 11:45AM at the Unitarian Church on the Bucksport Road
in Ellsworth we will be showing two short films.  With over 12 million
on-line views, *The Story of Stuff* is one of the most widely viewed
environmental-themed short films of all time.  The Story of Stuff takes you
on a provocative tour of our consumer-driven culture–from resource
extraction to iPod incineration.   This 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled
look at the underside of production, consumption, and waste will teach you
something, make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all
your stuff.  A local video produced by students in the Blue Hill area (Lucy
Jakub, Imogene Page, Lorna Stephens and Max Hurvitt) called "Save my Polar
Bear, Please” will also be shown.  Following the films, there will be a
visual awareness opportunity on the bridge in Ellsworth.

 *Hancock County Transition Towns is committed to educating our community
about the changes happening to our planet and how we can become sustainable
by building resiliency locally.  *

* *

*What Can You Do?  All you have to do is show up with 5 friends!(or 1 or 10
or more!)  Please attend the films and then join us on the bridge. Learn,
share, and show your support for Planet Earth!*
