SUMMARY:Movie screening: "The Little Things That Run the World" - Earth Week Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of “The Little Things That Run the World\,” part of our Bee City USA program. \nSynopsis:\nLife on Earth is in the middle of a major re-alignment of species composition. The smallest of creatures – insects – 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. \nAdmission is free. Register to save your seat. \nLearn more about the film here. \n
