It?s Earth Month at Moraine Valley Community College, and every Monday this month starting at 6:15 p.m., a different eco-focused movie will be shown in the Dorothy Menker Theater, 9000 W. College Pkwy. in Palos Hills.
Discover how a New Yorker spent a year without TV and air-conditioning and not creating trash in ?No Impact Man,? which will run April 11. Bring the kids along April 18 to watch Pixar-created ?Wall-E,? which is about a robotic trash compactor left to clean up Earth. The documentary, ?Food, Inc.,? which reveals insights into America?s food industry and how it affects people, will wrap up the series on April 25. All movie showings are free and open to the public. Each attendee will receive a free eco-friendly door prize.

Rated G
WALL-E is a robotic trash compactor who was left after Earth, too filled with trash to inhabit any longer, was abandoned some 700 years earlier. He methodically cleans up the trash-ridden planet day in and out until he meets Eve. Eve comes from the spaceship Axiom, which is also home to what remains of the human race. She is a probe robot that flies to Earth to determine if the planet is ready for humans to return, meaning life is supported there again. Entertaining and clever, great for all ages
children are amused by the robots and funny characters, while adults are faced with questions about the future. What happens when humans are creatures of the consumer culture, living on auto-pilot, do nothing but consume cheap stuff and lie around watching TVs all day? Can they ever get back to the land and set their souls free?
