The Ypsilanti Food Co-op will present a screening of "The Economics of Happiness" on Thursday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Washtenaw Community College's Towsley Auditorium, in the Morris Lawrence Building, at 4800 E. Huron River Dr. The suggested donation for the film screening is $10, but no one will be turned away.

This new film tells the story of a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, people around the world are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on an economics of localization.

The film features voices from six continents, including Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten, Samdhong Rinpoche, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Michael Shuman, Zac Goldsmith and Keibo Oiwa.

This film screening is sponsored by Transition Town Ypsilanti, WCC Permaculture Club, Michigan Young Farmers Coalition, EMU's Giving Garden, and SE Michigan Stewardship Coalition, and is part of the Sustainability Film Series held monthly on the first Thursday of each month by the Ypsilanti Food Co-op.
