Whittlesea council is celebrating World Environment Day with a movie night showing The Lorax.

The film will be screening at the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre in South Morang on Friday, June 7 from 6pm to 9pm.

Tickets do come at a cost of $5, including popcorn and finger food.

Whittlesea council chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the theme of this year’s World Environment Day – “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration” – aligns well with

Council’s commitment to creating a greener community for residents to thrive.

“As part of our Sustainable Environment Strategy, we have a strong focus on supporting the community to value our natural landscapes and biodiversity, and also to act to support nature. I encourage our community to get involved in World Environment Day and activities that support our goal of creating a liveable and sustainable environment for all,” she said.

Council is urging all to bring their imagination and a sense of wonder and delve into the magical world of Dr. Seuss and discover the power of speaking for the trees.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not,” said the Lorax.

Enjoy a night of family-friendly fun, with activities for the kids, food and drink, and prizes.
