This week, I began my role as the new Photo Editor for an on-campus publication called College Green Magazine! On Thursday, April 25th, College Green Magazine hosted the showing of the documentary "Trashed" at The Athena on Court Street in Athens, Ohio. The movie was an awesome and terrifying look at our 'throw-away' society and the dangers of pollutants due to our consumptive behavior. After the movie, five panelists spoke about the issues discussed in the movie and the change that needs to come about in our community. 

Dr. Geoffrey Buckley,  a Professor in the Department of Geography and one of the panelists, talks with the audience before the showing of “Trashed.”
