| “Addiction to disposable convenience” “Addiction to disposable convenience” is the underlying theme of TAPPED, an award winning film is to be shown Friday, April 8 at 7:30 in the Indian Hills Auditorium. Area residents and students are invited to the free viewing of this documentary to learn the true monetary and environmental cost of bottled water. The movie dispels the myths that surround the choice of bottled water over tap by tracing the full life cycle from privatization of community water sources through the environmental toll of production, transport and disposal of empty bottles. The presentation is being co-hosted by the Environmental Clubs of Ramapo and Indian Hills High Schools and is sponsored by the Wyckoff Area Garden Club. Additional community support is provided by representatives from the Wyckoff and Glen Rock Environmental Commissions. |
