EcoFarm2021 Pre-Conference Event
The time has come for organic farmers to come together to protect the meaning of organic. Join many of the pioneering farmers of the organic movement as they discuss why the organic industry is in need of a course correction and what we must do to bring it back home to its roots. Gain a greater understanding of why many organic farmers are fighting to reclaim the word “Organic” from lobbyists and industrial agricultural corporations. Explore the connections between healthy soil, climate, and nutrition to shed light on why we need greater transparency in food labels and the importance of farmers to lead the way.
Cost: $35

2020 was nothing like any of us could have imagined. Instead of a big year for climate action and progress on other sustainability issues, the world was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. As we look ahead, there are signs of hope, especially with the emergence of a vaccine, but the world continues to grapple with major challenges.
Join WRI on January 13, as we look to the big moments, trends and people that will shape the world in 2021. For the 18th annual Stories to Watch, WRI President and CEO Andrew Steer will share insights why 2021 could set a foundation for a cleaner, sustainable and more equitable future.
Will the world recover from COVID-19? How will the incoming Biden administration influence the direction, and which other leaders will emerge? What technologies will breakthrough? And, will we learn the right lessons from the year like no other?
You won’t want to miss Stories to Watch 2021 as we look at what will happen on climate, the environment, human development and the economy in the year ahead.

Join Hoosier Action Leaders from across the state to hear their stories and launch our 2021 Legislative Session work!
It is critical that Hoosier politicians pass a budget which prioritizes the safety, health, and future of our children over the profit margins of our wealthiest corporations. Now more than ever, Hoosiers across rural, urban, and small-town Indiana need our elected officials to heed the voices of their constituents rather than lobbyists.

We can’t wait to see you at our annual fall fundraiser this year: a film screening of “2040” and an intimate discussion with Indiana experts! Join us on October 22nd to see director Damon Gameau’s ‘exercise in fact-based dreaming’, 2040.
The film takes a solutions-based approach to how we can, using the technology we already have, mitigate the enormous global issues we currently face. The main themes/solutions looked at in the film are around: empowerment of women and girls; marine regeneration; regenerative agriculture; renewable energy; and circular economy. It’s a story of hope, and a powerful tool to encourage people to take action.
We will also be hosting a pre-film introduction that includes a HIPL produced short film and music, and our post-movie regroup to discuss local climate solutions.
So plan to join in from the comfort of your home to enjoy this widely acclaimed and powerful family friendly film, and the before and after programs!

The film screening will lead into a Q&A and community discussion with the following panelists:
– Beth Edwards, Director of In the Water and writer and producer for the Indiana Environmental Reporter
– Cathi Murray, Resident of Town of Pines and founding member of P.I.N.E.S (People in Need of Environmental Safety)

– Michael Mack, Vice President of the Michigan City Council, Ward 3 Councilman and Council Liaison with the Michigan City Sustainability Commission
– Dr. Indra Frank, Environmental Health and Water Policy Director with the Hoosier Environmental Council
