AUBURN — In partnership with the 27th annual Camden Conference, the Auburn Public Library will present several programs on “The Global Politics of Food and Water” and an additional program on sustainable practices. The series of free programs was made possible by a grant from the Camden Conference and occur throughout the month of January.

On Jan. 8 at 5:45 p.m., the library will show an exclusive viewing of the film “One Man, One Cow, One Planet.” This eye-opening film is a celebration of the work of biodynamic pioneer Peter Proctor and the amazing success of marginal farmers across India, as they save their soils, their communities and their lives with organic and biodynamic agriculture.

On Jan. 14 at 2 p.m., the library will show the film “Tapped.” Directed by Stephanie Soechtig and Jason Lindsey, this film examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on health, climate change, pollution and reliance on oil.

Representatives from the Good Shepherd Food-Bank will come to the library at 2 p.m. Jan. 23 to talk about the challenges of fighting hunger in Maine, the status of the hunger problem in Maine and an overview of the Mainers Feeding Mainers Program.

Finally, the Chewonki Foundation will be at the library at 2 p.m. Jan. 29 as they present an interactive program titled “A Zero Waste World: Imagine That!” From product design to disposal, they will explore six ways we can get closer to a zero waste world. Using slides, hands-on activities and eye opening demonstrations, the program will examine how small changes can make a big impact for our planet. This program does require pre-registration, which can be done by calling the Auburn Public Library at 333-6640, ext. 4.
