Join us for the Santa Barbara premiere of "Do I Need This?," an acclaimed documentary about consumerism, excess, and the stuff from which happiness is truly made. This quirky, relatable, and profound award-winning film delicately interweaves the filmmaker’s complicated relationship to her family possessions, together with a journey into the homes and minds of her fellow Americans. The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with UC Santa Barbara Bren School of Environmental Management professor Roland Geyer. Dr Geyer’s research is guided by his goal to help develop the knowledge, tools and methods necessary to reduce the environmental impact from industrial production and consumption. This event is co-hosted by CEC and the Santa Barbara Sierra Club.
