- Thursday January 24, 6:30pm: Reno Plastic Bag Ban is showing Bag It at the co-op - Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frighten-ing ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now. http://www.bagitmovie.com

POOP REQUESTLost City Farm is starting a one acre urban farm (Lost City Farm) in downtown Reno and are in desperate need for manure (horse, cow, alpaca, etc.) If you have some and are willing to delivery it to their farm (off Center St.) they would sure appreciate it. Their plan is to do our first planting this spring and we need to amend the soil before we can do that so the more poop the better.
Please email at if you are interested in helping. For more information about the project go to http://www.lostcityfarm.com/
