The HAWK's Nest


Award-winning documentary “Tapped” comes to CPCC Central Campus: February 11, 2010
Film analyzes the big business of the bottled water industry

WHAT: Central Piedmont Community College’s (CPCC) Center for Sustainability, together with Green Drinks of Charlotte and the Habitat and Wildlife Keepers (HAWK), are pleased to present a special screening of the award-winning documentary “Tapped” on CPCC’s Central Campus.

“Tapped” examines the big business of bottled water and takes a behind-the-scenes look at this unregulated industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity – water.

Directed by Stephanie Soechtig and produced by the same team who made “Who Killed the Electric Car,” this inspiring documentary trails the bottled water industry, painting a powerful portrait of the lives affected by this industry and the businesses and individuals caught at the intersection of big business and the public’s right to water.

Don’t miss this must-see film which will leave you begging the question, “Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any article of clothing?”

WHEN: Thursday, February 11; 7p.m.

WHERE: Tate Hall, Overcash Center, CPCC Central Campus, 1206 Elizabeth Ave., Charlotte

CONTACT: Tickets are $7. To order tickets, please call the CPCC Box Office at 704.330.6534 or visit tix.cpcc.edu. Free parking is available in the faculty/staff parking deck, accessible from East Fourth Street.




Join HAWK and meet the host of ETV's Expeditions with Pat

February 2, 2010
7:00 pm
Matthews Community Center
100 McDowell Street
704 814 0877


Times they are a changin' and animals and plants are racing to keep up. Come to the February meeting of Habitat and Wildlife Keepers (HAWK) as Clemson University naturalist and host of the ETV program Expeditions, Patrick McMillan, explains how plants and animals are on the move in the Piedmont. Alteration of habitats, moderation in winter temperatures and extreme droughts are forcing native species to seek refuge in new regions. As a consequence, the Carolinas are becoming a home away from home for some new and interesting species. Learn what is happening in our neck of the woods – the Piedmont.

Over the past 15 years Patrick has worked as a professional naturalist, biologist and educator. His range of experience has concentrated on botany (plant science) though he is also well-respected through his work in ichthyology, herpetology, and mammalogy. Patrick is a professional naturalist, lecturer, and director of the Campbell Museum of Natural History at Clemson University.

The meeting starts promptly at 7pm and is free and open to everyone. For more information www.habitatsteward.org, HAWKncwf@gmail.com or call 704 814 0877
