Marquette – Transition Marquette County will show two short films, “RADICALLY simple” and “Living the Good Life with Helen and Scott Nearing,” on Tuesday, December 1 at 6:30 p.m. in Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
In “RADICALLY simple”, we join engineer and author Jim Merkel as he presents his views on sustainable living in public presentations and workshops at his home. These meetings, which revolve around discussions on global economics and resource consumption, show Merkel leading by example. He demonstrates that a radically simple lifestyle, while at times intimidating, is not only possible but extremely satisfying.
“Living the Good Life with Helen and Scott Nearing” is a much-loved film about a remarkable couple, who during the Great Depression quit city life and moved to Vermont. He was a brilliant economist, she a concert violinist. Together they made Forest Farm synonymous with the ideal homestead.
The public is invited and there is no admission charge. People are welcome to bring their own dinner at 6 p.m. or simply come for the movies at 6:30. There will be time for conversation after the films. For more information call 226-3314 or email mqtchaz@gmail.com.
