The Need to Grow!

The Need To GROW is an environmental film that gives the world hope. Change happens when people know the truth.

This film will make you laugh, make you cry, give you chills, and inspire you to participate in the restoration of this beautiful Earth.

Our future is in SERIOUS trouble — will we even have one?
Most food in mainstream grocery stores is grown with…

• dangerous pesticides
• synthetic fertilizers
• nutritionally depleted soil
• And is produced in ways that deplete and pollute the soil and water, creating potentially massive food shortages for generations to come.

Some experts predict that at current rates of erosion, we will run out of farmable soil in just 60 years, leading to:

• Worsening health problems: more cancer, disease, and immune issues
• Skyrocketing food costs as resources like clean water and soil grow scarce
• Environmental devastation — butterfly, bee, and plant extinction is just the start
• And eventually, in as little as two generations, for many people… NO FOOD

Unless we act NOW.

Will your children and grandchildren inherit a planet they can’t live on?

Or will they be able to say that YOU helped turn things around?

We CAN make things right.
It is NOT too late.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

THE INVITATION:

Let’s watch this film and have conversation about what might be possible in our community to improve the health of the land, the water and air that we depend on.
Might it be possible to bring the organizations who are exemplaries of good practice for the health of the environment in this region together
