FREE e-WASTE RECYCLING
@
STAPLES SOUTH BEACH
Address the Mess & The South Beach Comedy Festival
help Floridians Go Green!
Comedy Central and the South Beach Comedy Festival want to help you AddressTheMess by recycling your old electronics (mobile phones, computer monitors, computers, printers fax machines, keyboards, TV, VCRs, stereos, home & office phones, cell phones, and consumer electronics)—so Scrap Your Crap for FREE this January.
We’ll kick off the fun at the Whole Foods in Coral Gables where everyone is invited to drop off their unwanted electronics on Saturday, January 16th from 10am to 4pm. WBGG 105.9 & WMIA 93.9 will be on hand from 12-4 to thank e-scrappers for doing the right thing with big prize giveaways including a VIP package to the Comedy Festival, Whole Foods & Staples gift cards, and lots more. ECOMB & E-Planet will also be on hand to ensure proper e-waste disposal and answer your environmental questions. Then, the Staples location in South Beach (5thst. & Alton) takes over by generously offering customers FREE electronics recycling January 17th – 31st. As an added bonus, Comedy Festival attendees can present their show program at any Miami Whole Foods Markets through February 7 and receive a free reusable Better Bag.
Please note: microwaves, smoke alarms, thermometers, dehumidifiers, large appliances or any unit with sludge or liquids can not be accepted. For a complete list of acceptable items and more details on the event, visit addressthemess.com or southbeachfestival.com.
Comedy Central’s AddressTheMess would like to thank Comcast & Atlantic Broadband for their generous support; without them, these efforts to support a more environmentally friendly South Florida would not be possible. |

ONE NEW MOVIE A MONTH
Genesis
Where are we coming from?
The cycle of life of a handful of different animals is captured on film in a whole new way in this documentary. Using special motion-control photography equipment, Genesis allows filmgoers to view animal behaviors which are too small, too slow, or too difficult to normally be seen with the naked eye, including a chick hatching its way out from inside an egg, jellyfish drying into nothing under the heat of the sun, or a snake slowly swallowing prey bigger than itself.
This footage is accompanied by narration from Sotigui Kouyat, who uses simple props and easily understandable analogies to explain the science behind what its shown on screen. Genesis was directed by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou, who previously created another acclaimed scientific documentary, Microcosmos.
Starring: Sotigui Kouyaté
Director: Claude Nuridsany, Marie Perennou
