Celebrate Earth Day with Snagfilms

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Here are a bunch of curated films from our library to help you celebrate Earth Day. 

On the train ride up to NYC today, I am watching Art from the ArcticClick here to check it out. It’s a fun film about artists, scientists and environmentalists all on a road trip to the end of the Earth.

Enjoy. When you aren’t thinking Red today, think Green!

It is the NHL playoffs. Anything can happen and it will.
