Free Movie Showing - Kiss The Ground
Saturday, September 28, 1:30 pm

Sustainable Westford presents the award-winning film Kiss The Ground, a free, in-person event on Saturday September 28, 1:30 pm, at the Parish Center for the Arts, 10 Lincoln Street, Westford, MA. 

Narrated by and featuring Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground is a groundbreaking documentary that reveals that regenerating the world’s soils can stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. The New York Times describes the film as “elevated by stirring imagery,” inspiring “a rare feeling of hope.”

The afternoon will also include a moderated panel discussion. Local soil experts from Bootstrap Compost and Weston Nurseries will be available to answer questions. Light refreshments will be served.

Topics covered will include composting and its relationship to soil health, the soil carbon sponge, and more.


All Westford residents will be eligible to win a great gift – one year of every other week food waste curbside pick-up service from Bootstrap Compost. A $170 value.
