River is more than just a neighborhood restaurant. It is eclectic food and a friendly atmosphere, which hosts numerous events. http://www.river413.ca/ The Greenest City is pleased to present an exclusive screening of GARBAGE: THE REVOLUTION STARTS AT HOME followed by a Q & A session with director Andrew Nisker! "A feature documentary about how the family household has become one of the most ferocious environmental predators of our time. Concerned for the future of his new baby boy Sebastian, writer director Andrew Nisker takes an average urban family, the McDonalds, and asks them to keep every scrap of garbage that they create for three months. He then takes them on a journey to find out where it all goes and what it's doing to the world." ~ Brave New Theatres Greenest City is a non-profit, community-based environmental organization committed to reducing pollution, regenerating urban life, and promoting social equity. Our projects and campaigns embrace community diversity and engage people in finding locally-appropriate solutions to global environmental problems.
