United Nations, has been celebrated worldwide since 1970.
The program included:
- Showing of the documental film Documental “El Abuelo Jaguar”. This documentary was filmed in the Sierra Norte of the Mexican
state of Oaxaca, by native Zapotecans from communities of the Sierra Norte; principally the community of Cristo Rey La Selva,
Lachixila.
The evening ended with a get together complete with refreshments and shared opinions as to what we can do, individually and in groups,
to preserve this environmentally significant region of Los Tuxtlas.
- The theatrical presentation “Camalionitis Agudus” by Alddo flores, Lorena and Eleonora. This skit
alludes to the serious environmental problem caused by waste material. Its dynamic used
principally actions and dance rather than dialog to call attention to the environmental disaster
caused by the tremendous amount of waste material produced by society and the lack of concern
we exhibit over the management of this material.
- Eduardo Álvarez gave a talk and Power Point presentation on the
history of Earth Day and it’s ecological importance; including slide show
material of the organization “350”, presided over by environmentalist
and writer Bill McKibben; responsible for the organization of various
global events regarding climate change.
