"Oil on Ice" showing at 1st Unitarian
Start: Feb 3 2006 7:00 pm
End: Feb 3 2006 8:30 pm

Body:

Part of the First Unitarian Church's Heart of the Earth Environmental Film Series. "Oil on Ice" is a vivid, compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. Caught in the balance are the culture and livelihood of the Gwich'in Athabascan Indians and the Inupiat Eskimos and the migratory wildlife in this fragile ecosystem. 7 p.m. in the Main Street Sanctuary. $5 donation suggested at the door.

Description:
The Diggable City, a PSU Master of Urban and Regional Planning workshop project prepared for the City of Portland, Oregon, introduced a land inventory containing specific sites of publicly-owned properties where opportunities may exist to expand community gardens and other forms of urban agriculture in Portland.

"The Diggable City: Exploring the Potential for Urban Agriculture" serves to educate a wider audience on current trends toward localized food production. Through the lens of various urban farm projects and numerous in-depth interviews, the documentary depicts a compelling story about the value of this peculiar land use.
