SCC, Feb 16, SS Community Action Team to Discuss Urban Farm Tour
MOORE COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM MEETING REMINDER!
Sandhills Community College, Clement Dining Room, Dempsey Student Center
Tuesday, February 16th, 6:30-8:00
Please join us for our first 2010 CAT meeting! This month we'll learn about urban farming and prepare for the upcoming Urban Farm Tour, April 10. Attendees will form break-out groups to discuss potential tour sites, fundraising ideas, and volunteer opportunities.
Urban agriculture is the method of cultivating food in or around a town or city. Eating locally-grown food is less energy intensive--supermarket produce can travel over 1,000 miles!--and often safer, not to mention tastier! Get inspired by the story of an urban farm in California: The Dervaes Family Garden
We will include updates on community events and projects, including a Cultural Resources Inventory of the area. Invite your friends and help spread the word! Together we are making a difference!
Save these dates!
March 11th – Sustainable Film Series screening of “Addicted to Plastic”
March 25-28th – Palustris Festival – Celebrating visual, literary, and performing arts in Moore County
April 10th – Urban Farm Tour in Moore and Cumberland Counties

Coal Country at SCC
Moore County Sustainable Film Series
Join us for great films in 2010
Our Next film is "Coal Country"
January 14th, 6:30
Sandhills Community College
Dempsey Student Center, Clement Dining Room
Sustainable Sandhills invites everyone to join us for the screening of "Coal Country," a film by Mari-Lynn Evans and Phylis Geller. The film is FREE so bring a friend and join in the discussion.
"Coal Country" tells the dramatic struggle around the use of coal, which provides over half the electricity in America. Passions are running high in the mountains of Appalachia. Families and communities are deeply split over what is being done to their land. At issue is the latest form of strip mining called ‘mountain top removal'. Coal companies blast the tops off mountains, and run the debris into valleys and streams. Then they mine the exposed seams of coal and transport it to processing plants. Coal is mined more cheaply than ever, and America needs coal. But the air and water are filled with chemicals, and an ancient mountain range is disappearing forever. Join us for a discussion of the social impact of cheap energy in America.
Bring the family! All ages are invited and it's FREE! We look forward to seeing you there!

Volume Three | April 10, 2009
Alma Easom Primary School Goes Green
Alma Easom, a K-1 primary school in Cumberland County, is going green with the help of the PTA and Sustainable Sandhills. Alma Easom's efforts started in 2006 when Connie Graham, Alma Easom Principal, encouraged staff to conserve by turning off lights in unoccupied rooms. Alma Easom won the Cumberland County Schools Energy Incentive Program and was awarded a voucher for $5,569. Read more!
What Would We Do Without Oil?
The next free film in our Sustainable Film Series is the inspiring and award-winning documentary, The Power of Community - How Cuba Survived Peak Oil. The film documents the struggle of the Cuban people after they became the first country to face the peak oil crisis. When you realize how much of our lifestyle relies on oil, you begin to understand the massive changes that took place, almost overnight, in Cuba. In addition to transportation and power outages, the most immediate problem became food scarcity. As hunger spread, people were left with no other choice than to grow food wherever they could, leading to widespread urban farming. Read more!
