Earth smart

Three interesting and enlightening environmental documentaries fill the big screen at City Nights Theater on three nights. The Garden looks at Los Angeles after the riots and its successful community garden. Earth Days explores earth consciousness, past, present and future. A Road Not Taken investigates the solar panels that once donned the White House -- once is a key word here. Hosted by the Sangamon Valley Sierra Club, a short film begins each evening, and then a speaker takes the floor to discuss a local environmental issue, followed by the feature film at 7:30 p.m. For complete details, including film trailers, visit illinois.sierraclub.org.
