Sustainability Movie Night: The Little Things That Run the World

We’re hosting a FREE screening of The Little Things That Run The World revealing the vital—and often overlooked—role bees play in our ecosystems.
The smallest of creatures hold the fabric of all life together. They are the most numerous of all animal groups on the planet. But insects are declining at an alarming rate throughout the world, threatening innumerable species, whole ecosystems, and even our food systems with collapse.
This is story about untangling the mysteries as to why something so ubiquitous – and seemingly endless – could be on the cusp of disappearing entirely. It is also the story of heroic efforts to save these most vulnerable of creatures.
It's a great film for environment stewards of all ages — so bring the little ones along!
