Film Screening: Edens Lost & Found: Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a historic city responding to many challenges, including suburban development that threatens to decimate the core city.  Faced with severe budget limitations (a universal reality), it created a vast network of community-based volunteer organizations that have brought about rebirth through volunteerism and community outreach.  Some of those organizations include the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, New Kensington Community Development Corporation, and Philadelphia Water Department.  Philadelphia has many tales to tell about how it is dealing with challenges being felt around the planet: creation of a sustainable society, economy, and ecosystem in a thriving urban environment.
