What becomes of all the junk, metal, plastic, glass, appliances, devices, food and stuff we throw away each day? Following our gleaning event at the Huntington gardens on August 17 (see https://www.meetup.com/The-Left-Bank-of-Orange-County/events/133198302/ (https://campusmail.fullerton.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=R2J-9feou0yIFhlvomyhj55ibTCWZdAIrFA69hH1Pgiw6Upn4cbAFNDh1MCQ0klH1lQggsKWlNg.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.meetup.com%2fThe-Left-Bank-of-Orange-County%2fevents%2f133198302%2f)), we will discuss the importance and methods of gleaning and recycling. We will screen Agnès Varda's extraordinary film, Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse (The Gleaners and I), hear several speakers and share our ideas in a group discussion.
