Montclair Office of Environmental Affairs and Community Green present Divide In Concord

Montclair Public Library, Montclair, New Jersey
FREE and open to the public
Post-screening discussion

The Montclair office of Environmental Affairs and Community Green proudly present the free screening of a new film — Divide In Concord — on Thursday, June 16, 6:30 p.m., at the Public Library, 50 South Fullerton Avenue. All events at the Library are free.

Divide In Concord tells an entertaining tale about banning bottled water in small town America. Jean Hill, a fiery octogenarian, is deeply concerned about the environment. For three years, she has spearheaded a crusade to ban the sale of single-serve plastic bottled water in her hometown, Concord, Massachusetts — the same town that incited the American Revolution. Can one senior citizen make history?

With strong opposition from local merchants and the bottled water industry, the campaign faces a tense nail-biter of a vote that will decide the issue for the town.

Please join us, and bring a friend, a family member, or your neighbor for this entertaining and informative film screening and an open public discussion afterwards.
