[All] Fwd: March Green Events: Please pass this to your youth groups!

[Robert Milligan]

FYI. I particularly look forward to seeing the below environmental  
movie, "The Age of Stupid: a dedication to Bush & Harper". Please  
transcend the religious stuff and go to the interesting event details  
at bottom.

> Please be advised that this movie is “unrated” but has been rated in  
> other countries and is recommended for mature audiences, 14+, as it  
> contains some profanity and disturbing images.
