The Wild and Scenic
Environmental Film Festival on Tour
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History presents an Enviro Fair starting at 6:00 p.m. then The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival on Tour at 7:00 p.m.
It is said that if you do not think that one person can make a difference, then you have never spent a night in a room with a hungry mosquito. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History will be presenting a series of short films that show how individuals can make a difference to our environment by doing even the simplest things. These films use heart and humor to get their message across.
The series is also a great way of being introduced to a number of issues that people are working on across the globe. This is a series of movies appropriate for all ages and a great way to introduce your children to the issues that they will also someday be facing.
Tickets: $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers, $5 for students
