There is an old cliche that says, “Put your money where your mouth is.” They are easy words to say, but hard ones to live by. And, when it comes to big issues like the environment, there seems to be a lot more mouth than money these days. Gainesville Environmental Film and Arts Festival What: Film screenings on 10 days culminating in outdoor festival March 27-28 When: Friday through March 28 Where: Hippodrome Cinema, 25 S.E. Second Place, Gainesville Tickets: $5 film admission, $4 for seniors and students; VIP passes for all festival events are $50 per person.
