How many paper nakpins did you use today? Toilet paper? Paper towels, plates, disposable coffee cups, tissues to blow your nose?
America’s demand for paper products requires over a million trees be planted EVERY YEAR to replenish harvested forests. They’re planted mainly by Mexican men on migrant visas, who each plant 3,000 trees a day, for 9 months every year.
We invite you to attend this award winning documentary screening and then talk to the anthropologist-director Noam Osband about the human side of immigration, consumerism, climate change, and mental health in times of isolation.
More information about the documentary is available on its website: https://athousandpinesfilm.com
