'Fixing the Future' showing part of Sustainability Week

The film "Fixing the Future - Building Local Jobs, Income & Sustainability" will be shown at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, in Viking Union Room 525.

The showing is part of the annual Sustainability Week at Western Washington University.

In "Fixing the Future," host David Brancaccio, of public radio's Marketplace and NOW on PBS, visits people and organizations across America -- including in Bellingham -- that are attempting a revolution: the reinvention of the American economy. By featuring communities using sustainable and innovative approaches to create jobs and build prosperity, Fixing the Future inspires hope and renewal in a people overwhelmed by economic collapse. The film highlights effective, local practices such as: local business alliances, community banking, time banking/hour exchange, worker cooperatives and local currencies.
