Patagonia’s founder, Yvon Chouinard,
has followed his 2014 documentary DamNation
with a new film:
Artifishal is a film about people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature.

Climate on Tap – Monday, October 7th, 6-7:30 p.m.
FinnRiver Farm & Cidery, 124 Center Road, Chimacum, WA 98325
Join us for monthly solutions-oriented sessions on issues related to climate change at FinnRiver Farm and Cidery in Chimacum. Co-sponsored by Local 20/20 Climate Action and Jefferson County Public Health, this is not a lecture series, but a book club and discussion format. Each session includes information to get the conversation started, followed by group discussions that include what locals think and what locals plan to do.
The next session is called “There is no Planet B – how do Millennials and GenZ envision their future?” This session will be facilitated by Students for Sustainability, a group from Port Townsend High School who are dedicated to taking action to mitigate climate change at their school, in their community, their state, and at a national level.
The session topic for Monday, November 4th is “How Do You Talk Respectfully With Others About Climate Change?”
For summaries of all the previous sessions, click here.

Beginning September 20, three days before the UN Climate Summit in NYC, young people and adults will mobilize for a week across the world to demand transformative action to address the climate crisis. Millions will take to the streets to demand a right to a future, and we’re inviting you to join us! Activities are planned for a solid week, all across the Olympic Peninsula…join one, or organize one yourself and let us know about it! We will update the list below as additional events get planned. Our house is on fire! There is no time to waste!
MSNBC, Georgetown University, and Our Daily Planet will lead up to this important week by hosting a two-day climate forum with the 2020 Presidential candidates Sept. 19-20.
