An ecological fable:  Halla is a 50-year-old environmental activist who crusades against the local aluminum industry in Iceland. As her actions grow bolder, her life changes in the blink of an eye when she's finally granted permission to adopt a girl from the Ukraine.

A presentation and discussion about the original Olmsted plan to widen Beacon Street and about a renewed vision to restore its bridle path.

Hosted by: The Brookline Historical Society <http://brooklinehistoricalsociety.org> and Friends of the Beacon Street Bridle Path <http://beaconbridleway.org>.

Join a community discussion to discuss this important topic with representatives from Mothers Out Front, Cathy Loula and Inge Damm Luhr.

Brookline and our sister city, Quezalguaque could not be more different and yet safe drinking water is a concern for both communities. The residents of Quezalguaque struggle with access to safe drinking water and fear their water may be contaminated and may be contributing to an epidemic of chronic kidney disease. Brookline has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the U.S. but many residents use filters and avoid drinking tap water. Join us to hear about the current status of both systems and possible implications of climate change from one of the region's leading experts on water quality.

A community event encouraging people to stroll, jog, scoot, bike, and reimagine Beacon Street with its bridle path reopened, inspired by its Olmsted design.
