Movies on the Grass Series returns Sept. 24
Movies on the Grass is a free event for K-State and the Manhattan community. Movies on the Grass highlights the annual K-State common read and brings light to social justice issues impacting the world today. A different film will be shown each Sunday through Oct. 1. Please bring your own lawn chair or blanket.
There will be speakers at 7 p.m., and the films will start at 7:30 p.m.
On Sept. 24, come watch "Kiss the Ground." The event will take place on Bosco Student Plaza.
According to The Redford Center, "'Kiss the Ground' is a new documentary that explores the first viable, low-cost way to reverse climate change through soil. When cared for properly, soil (aka 'dirt') has the potential to sequester 100% of the carbon dioxide that humans have emitted into the atmosphere. There's only one catch: our modern, industrialized, monocrop-based agriculture is killing the microbial life in the soil that does the carbon sequestering ('biosequestration'). But there's hope. A disruptive group of scientists, farmers, ranchers, activists, and government types are banding together in a global movement toward a new type of agriculture called 'regenerative farming' that increases soil life, stores water and sequesters CO2."
