This film shows alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil, revealing our chance to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils. In a race against the end of farmable soil, three persons fight for change in the industry of agricultural food production, calling for a revolution. The Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse is offering a film, “The Need to Grow,” at 6 pm on Monday, May 9. What’s going to happen to Beach Road, or the hospital? In this moderated conversation, climate planners and scientists will discuss beach and salt marsh loss, projects that have successfully mitigated for coastal change, such as Squibnocket and the Gay Head Lighthouse, explore ideas, and take audience questions. Film Center features “Retreating From the Shore: Time to Start the Conversation.” Sea levels are rising. There are a lot of activities happening next week relating to climate change. And I probably shouldn’t admit that I really wanted to keep it myself. I remember as a child in Sunday school, we were each given a flower in a little pot to take home to our own mothers. Celebrate all mothers, including your own. Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day on Sunday.
