SUMMARY:Needham Adult Education: Intro to Permaculture: Grow Fruits\, Nuts\, Herbs and More in Your Backyard
DESCRIPTION:If bad climate news is getting you down\, here is something fun that you can do to make the world a better place right in your own backyard! Permaculture is a way to grow fruits\, nuts\, herbs and vegetables\, that intentionally mimics patterns and relationships found in natural ecosystems. In a permaculture garden\, everything works together in synergy–the soil life\, different plants supporting each other\, and the gardener. As a result\, a permaculture garden requires less water\, fertilizer\,\npest-control and work than a conventional garden and is highly productive. It is also a natural habitat for wildlife\,\nincluding pollinators and butterflies\, and a way to sequester some of that excess carbon floating around.  This workshop will introduce you to the basic principles of permaculture and will give you practical ideas to get\nstarted with. \nLimited to 15. \nInstructor: Babette Wills \nDates: 2 Wednesdays\, January 29-February 5\nTime: 6:30-8:00PM\n@ Needham High School\, Room 909 Fee: $45 \nCheck out other Needham Adult Education programs.

SUMMARY:EVs Are Greener Than You Think Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Apr 21 2020\, 12:00pm – 8:00pm \nOnline \nElectric vehicles (EVs) are only as good for the climate as the sources used to generate electricity. In New England’s relatively clean electricity mix\, that means EVs reduce emissions by 75% on a per-mile basis compared to gas-powered cars. Thanks to state renewable energy targets\, there will be more zero-emissions resources on the grid every year\, amplifying the positive effect of EVs. But some Massachusetts towns and cities are leading the charge to demand even more renewable energy than is required by state law. Join Green Energy Consumers for this free hour-long webinar to learn how these initiatives are speeding the transition to a zero-carbon future. \nRSVP Now.

SUMMARY:Film Showing: The Biggest Little Farm-CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:CANCELED – MAY BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE \nFirst Parish in Needham\, Unitarian Universalist\, 23 Dedham Ave.\, Needham\, will host a showing of the film The Biggest Little Farm on Sunday\, April 26 at 7 p.m. This 91-minute award-winning film documents the eight-year quest of John and Molly Chester (and their dog) as they trade city living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with nature. Featuring breathtaking cinematography\, captivating animals\, and an urgent message to heed Mother Nature’s call\, THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM provides us all a vital blueprint for better living and a healthier planet. \nFor parents: The film is rated PG for mild thematic elements\, including pictures of dead chickens and ducks\, killed by coyotes. Here is a review by Parent Previews which gave the film an A+ rating but concluded that it “really isn’t a movie for little kids\, although older elementary school age children will probably enjoy it\, especially if they love animals.” \nYou can watch the trailer here. \nTickets are $10 at the door\, with proceeds going to the New England Wind Fund. \nDoors will open at 6:30 p.m.\, with informational tables about local environmental initiatives.
