A couple weeks ago, once I realized I had missed EVERY Capstone Cinema, I decided it would behoove me to go to the make-up cinema in West Quad. So, not wanting to go alone, I dragged my friend Zadams over to the learning center there to make him watch a movie about sustainability.
The movie was supposed to be this film called "Taking Root," but they couldn't find the DVD, so it ended up being "Milking the Rhino" instead. "Milking the Rhino" is all about how people in Africa have managed to lead a peaceful co-existence with the wildlife there, and how they are now using them to their advantage. It was an interesting movie, combining several of my favorite topics--economics, travel, and environmentalism. Plus, it had awesome views of Africa throughout the film.
During the movie, I was surprised at how much people in Africa used to really hate the wildlife until they started viewing it as an opportunity for tourism. I suppose elephants and gazelles are as common in their backyards as snakes and squirrels are in ours. But the first two probably cause more problems.

Keep it classy and fabulous!
