Article from the New York Times about moms joining together to become more eco-friendly.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — The women gathered in the airy living room, wine poured and pleasantries exchanged.

Filmgoers will catch screenings of critically-acclaimed environmental films produced around the country and get information about local issues, such as protection of Fossil Creek as a Wild and Scenic River here in Arizona.

Fossil Creek is a remarkable success story, but there are many other watersheds—such as the Verde River—that are endangered by groundwater pumping for development in the Chino Valley. The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival will inspire and motivate you to go out and make a difference for Arizona’s endangered waterways.

It’s a festival for activists, by activists. The event is organized and hosted by the Arizona Wilderness Coalition and is sponsored by Patagonia™.

Proceeds benefit the Arizona Wilderness Coalition and will be used to protect wilderness lands and waters across Arizona.
