Cargill Lecture Theatre, Main Admin Building
As a lead up to National Science Week the Environment Team are hosting a series of events focused on fracking. The first film in the series is Gasland. When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown. http://gaslandmovie.co.uk/

12th February, 6.30pm
As part of the University’s Go Green Week there’ll be a screening of Trashed. After the film the University’s Environmental Sustainability Manager, Dan Clayton, will talk about waste and answer questions about issues raised in the film.
In this groundbreaking environmental documentary, Academy Award
winner Jeremy Irons explores the world’s most environmentally polluted
places to reveal the extent our rubbish is affecting us and our planet.
In this visually and emotional film which manages to be both horrific and
beautiful, Jeremy takes us on a journey to explore the risks to the food
chain and the environment through the pollution of our air, land and sea
by household trash.
