Pascack Sustainability Group is pleased to present two programs designed for people with a passion for and intellectual curiosity about the natural world. 

"Green Readers" is a semi-monthy book series that allows us to read and discuss important works of fiction and non-fiction on environmental and sustainability themes. Green Readers now meets in a private home in Westwood. To join, please email: info@pascacksustainabilitygroup.org.

For film lovers, we host entertaining and informative documentary films  on some of the most pressing issues of our time including pollution, water quality and availability, food safety, energy, species extinction and more. Films are shown at the 
 Westwood Public Library, 49 Park Avenue, Westwood, NJ. See dates and times below. Please join us.

The films in our series are chosen based on recommendations by our active group members, and their inclusion does not mean we endorse every aspect of the film's content. We simply hope to enjoy thought-provoking films with open-minded people interested in sustainability topics, and stimulate thoughtful and respectful discussion.
