Environmental Community Cinema Presents ‘Tapped’
November 1, 2016
Georgia Southern’s Center for Sustainability and the Zach Henderson Library invite you to a special film screening of “Tapped” on Sept. 7, in the Natural Sciences Building room 1119, to learn about how the bottled water industry impacts climate change, generates pollution, increases our reliance on oil and impacts our health.
As an award-winning documentary, “Tapped” focuses on communities within Georgia, Maine and North Carolina where large, multinational companies collect large quantities of municipal tap water and turn it into bottled water with a significant retail markup. The film also investigates the millions of gallons of oil that are refined each year in the U.S. alone just for single-used bottles; most of which end up in the trash, buried in landfills or discarded into our oceans and waterways.
This film is part of the Center for Sustainability’s Environmental Community Cinema Program and is presented in partnership with the Henderson Library. Attendance verification will be provided for students and the film is FREE to attend.
