Gina Adams-Levy, Neighbor

Peace,

Love & Planet (PLP) will celebrate Earth Day by launching the nationally

recognized environmental film series “Be the Solution”.  The films, shot locally using area teen
actors, focus on raising awareness about Michigan’s environmental issues and inspire
teenagers to make responsible, eco-friendly choices. The premiere of the films
will be held on Saturday April 19th, 2014 at Genitti’s, 108 E. Main,
Northville Mi, 48167.

“Be the Solution” Premiere will
double as a benefit for PLP. The party will include a viewing of
films, live entertainment, silent auction and heavy hor d’oeuvres. Guests are
encouraged to reduce, reuse, or recycle their wardrobe by coming dressed in
Trash with Class. Space is limited to 200 guests. To register go to www.PeaceLoveandPlanet.org.

Founder, Gina Adams-Levy
explains, “Global issues can seem overwhelming for children but it’s important
to get them involved early in their lives. 

We wanted to feature local kids examining Michigan’s problems and

embracing tangible solutions. Peers committing to make responsible choices will

hopefully motivate their fellow teens.”

The films compliment earth science curriculum and can be utilized in numerous ways; to launch a lesson plan, to celebrate holidays such as America Recycles Day (11/15), Earth Hour (3/29), or Earth Day (4/22) or by PLP to introduce their programs. “Be the Solution” films are available on Youtube at Peaceluvplanet.


PLP’s mission is to nurture
appreciation for nature and promote environmentally responsible choices resulting in healthy, sustainable communities. The nonprofit reaches over 7,000 Michigan children annually by conducting engaging programs and assisting schools and businesses implement sustainable waste reduction strategies. Due to budgetary constraints environmental programming is not available at many schools.  Sponsorship enables PLP to work with underserved schools throughout Michigan to help develop an understanding of “why” it is important to reduce consumption of resources to ensure healthy,vibrant communities for future generations. 

Interviews and preview of videos are available.  For more information, contact Gina Adams-Levy
