Surfrider San Diego’s Climate Change program committee was honored to co-host a film screening and panel discussion of Common Ground at the Dove Library in Carlsbad on the evening of June 6th. The enlightening new documentary..."profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative ‘regenerative’ models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.”
