UPCOMING FILMS:

December 13: "Renewal"
“Renewal” profiles eight faith-based groups on their journeys to transform their congregations into responsible environmental stewards. Follow Evangelical Christians as they bear witness to mountaintop removal; Muslims in Chicago actively supporting sustainable farming; Jewish youth learning to minimize their ecological footprints; Buddhists engaged in persuading major magazines to publish on recycled paper; and four other groups fully engaged in the greening of their congregations. This film offers hope and shows people of all faiths working to redefine what it means to live on the planet today. Discussion moderated by: members of the Green Faith Alliance of Arkansas.

"Change the World" Discussion Courses

Offered in conjunction with the Arkansas chapter of the Northwest Earth Institute, these weekly sessions provide the right vehicle to explore values, attitudes and actions that can make a significant difference to your life and your community.

Green Building Tour
What makes a building more “environment friendly?”  How can new technologies create a building that uses half the energy of another building of the same size?  This tour shows how Heifer International’s headquarters building has achieved the highest “Green Building” rating possible, and offers a look at the future of construction for an environmentally-conscious world.

Wetlands Tour (weather dependant)
Heifer International transformed a former industrial waste site into a thriving wetlands habitat by removing toxic soil and channeling rainwater into plant-lined ponds and canals. Today, the wetland is teeming with fish, turtles, frogs and the occasional Great Blue Heron looking for a meal.  It’s a rewarding – and fun – educational experience to see this natural system in action.
