Filmmaker discussion and RiverSmart Homes briefing following the screenings. Persons interested in finding out how they can bring Earth Day concepts home all year long – via their annual block parties and other events – are invited to this screening of three environmental films that reveal the links between saving the Chesapeake Bay and improving the health of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. The films will be followed by a discussion and video featuring RiverSmart Homes “success stories” of homeowners who have enrolled in this District program and have a combination of rain barrels, shade trees, pervious pavers, rain gardens and BayScaping (or native plants) installed. Seating is limited; reservation required. To RSVP, contact riversmarts1@yahoo.com
