About this Event
The Little Things that Run the World Film Screening
The Little Things That Run the World introduces viewers to a diverse group of scientists, nature lovers, gardeners, farmers, and general bug enthusiasts in exploring the importance of flying insects amid rapid declines in their numbers. This most numerous group of animals on the planet by far - three quarters of all species - have also been called the “glue of life” on Earth. They literally hold ecosystems together. But, there is evidence that the pace of decline among insects in parts of the world today is fast approaching the levels of previous catastrophes.
What does this mean for the rest of life on Earth, including humans? What is causing this extinction crisis? What can be done to reverse the trend? The Little Things That Run the World attempts to find answers to these questions, and more.
Don’t rush off when the credits roll! Stay for a brief post-film screening Talk-Back with local Pollinator Pathway leaders, and stop by the lobby to meet local conservation groups and discover easy ways to support pollinators.
The Ohio premier of this film is co-sponsored by Pollinator Pathway, Sustainable Westerville and Otterbein University.
