Sustainability Through Gardening,  submitted by Colorado Mesa University club Meant for Movement, is the winner of WCC’s first-ever student video contest.

The three-minute video will be shown as part of WCC’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Saturday, March 24 at Colorado Mesa University.

Filmmakers Nicholas Moore [club president], Ryan Dudley, Matt Haynie and Stephani Soto will be attending the festival.

“We are trying to help people around the world to support each other and the global community at once,” said Soto.  “Gardening seemed like the first step because it is simple, inexpensive and directly affects the quality of food you eat and therefore your physical well-being.  It also limits the negative global and environmental consequences of a modern world that runs on mass production and profit.”
