The public is invited to view the documentary “Common Ground,” a film about saving and regenerating our soil, at the Marin City Free Library, 164 Donahue St. in Marin City on Tuesday, October 15 at 5:30 p.m.

Light refreshments will be provided courtesy of the Friends of the Marin City Library.

This film explores the current issues with our food system and considers how regenerative agriculture and improving soil health can help address these challenges. “Common Ground” is being shown during the North Bay Zero Waste Week of October 12-19. Zero Waste Marin will also be watching the movie either at the library or by Zoom, and will be available for a discussion of the film.

Zero Waste Marin (ZWM) is a governmental Joint Powers Authority that represents the 11 cities and towns and the County of Marin, according to their website. Their mission is to protect natural resources by promoting source reduction of waste through reuse, repair, and more mindful purchasing.

They offer a variety of programs to make recycling and composting easy including: the Household Hazardous Waste Program, the Zero Waste Schools Program, and public outreach and education programs.

These programs align with County-wide goals to act on climate change and promote healthy, safe, and sustainable communities. To learn more about ZWM, visit zerowastemarin.org.

For more information about the Marin City Library and this program, contact Rashida Skaar at (415) 332-6158, or email: rashida.skaar@marincounty.gov
