Film Festival hosted in observation of Earth Day
In a bid to promote an international movement to protect the planet and secure a sustainable and healthy future for all, Earth Day was observed yesterday as the U.S. Embassy and Castellani House hosted the final portion of their Earth Day Film Festival, at the Castellani House in 
Georgetown.
The three films selected for this Festival, which began on April 15, serve to educate and promote awareness on environmental issues.
According to the United Nations, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities and by 2050 some 6.3 billion people will be living in urban area.
Earth Day is an annual celebration of the planet’s biodiversity and an important opportunity to highlight solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
Through more than one billion pledges to buy local produce, start composting, eat less meat, reduce energy consumption, and many other actions, the Earth Day Network is creating an international movement to protect the plant and secure a sustainable and healthy future for all.
The focus of Earth Day this year is urban revitalization through the theme of Green Cities. And urban agriculture produces more than just food. Its forests, gardens on rooftops, backyards, balconies, and city parks create green spaces for gardeners and eaters to gather, talk, and eat. There are countless individuals and organizations across the globe working to promote urban agriculture and encourage investment in growing cities.
