I watched a new documentary recently that was a powerful and beautiful tutorial on how we educate, how we learn, and how we inaugurate change on a personal level. It was close to my heart since the topic was environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n

A Sea Change: Imagine a World Without Fish<\/a> <\/em>is a movie about how the increase in carbon emissions and the raising level of acidity is affecting ocean life. It is a movie that will be enjoyed and should be seen by everyone.<\/p>\n

\"Sven<\/p>\n

The film is the story of a man<\/a>, retired history teacher Sven Huseby, who is touched by Elizabeth Kolbert\u2019s New Yorker<\/em> article*, ”The Darkening Sea.”<\/a> Kolbert’s article spurs Huseby to go on a quest to investigate what is happening to our oceans. Woven into Huseby’s journey is the tale of his relationship with his grandson and a concern for future generations. It poses several important questions: What is our connection with the natural world? What kind of world will our children inherit? What kind of values can we instill in young minds?<\/p>\n

On Saturday, January 22<\/a> The New York Botanical Garden<\/a> will\u00a0 show the film at 2pm in the Ross Lecture Hall<\/a>. The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion with the director, Barbara Ettinger<\/a>, and the narrator, Sven Huseby<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Children of all ages, including their parents, will be inspired to learn more. Young adults, especially those with an interest in social responsibility, will be fascinated by the breathtaking images of the sea. Grandparents will contemplate legacy as they join Huseby’s journey with his grandson into the natural world.<\/p>\n

\"Sven<\/p>\n

A Sea Change: Imagine a World Without Fish<\/a> <\/em>doesn\u2019t proselytize; it is personal and positive with a strong message of social responsibility. It focuses on the wonders of the natural world and how we need to plan for the future as it examines the implication of increasing pollution.<\/p>\n

Please join us<\/a> for an inspiring, enjoyable afternoon.<\/p>\n
