The Conservation and Beautification Committee presents a festival of short films on various issues, with a strong emphasis on water. Topics include:
* Uranium
* Fracking
* Atlantic Coast Pipeline
* The Great Yard Cleanup
* LIfe Cycle of a Plastic Bag
* Water Saving TIps
* Selections from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation
We conclude with the inspiring film, “Rappahannock: The Story of an Historic and Beautiful River and its People.” This film describes the history and the reclamation of the river from one of pollution to one of beauty.
Chris Miller, President of the Piedmont Environmental Council, will be our moderator and guide for the day. He will elaborate on the issues presented in the films, and he will give us the current status on transmission lines, pipelines and view sheds.
The Elizabeth Cabell Dugdale Award for Conservation will be presented.
