Members of the greater Kingston Community are invited to participate in a free, public screening of the inspiring, solutions-oriented movie Carbon Nation http://www.carbonnationmovie.com/ on Tuesday March 22nd from 6:00-9:30 at Kingston Library, 55 Franklin Street, Kingston, NY. The screening will be followed by a question and answer period with director/producer Peter Byck via Skype.

 

From the Carbon Nation website:

 

Carbon Nation is a documentary movie about climate change SOLUTIONS. Even if you doubt the severity of the impact of climate change or just don't buy it at all, this is still a compelling and relevant film that illustrates how SOLUTIONS to climate change also address other social, economic and national security issues. You'll meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way.

  • Carbon Nation is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-preachy, non-partisan, big tent film that shows tackling climate change boosts the economy, increases national & energy security and promotes health & a clean environment.
  • Public opinion is sliding the wrong way - far fewer people are concerned about climate change than even a year ago. We've made Carbon Nation to give a majority of people an entertaining, informed and pragmatic primer about why it's incredibly smart to be a part of the new, low-carbon economy: it's good business.
  • Carbon Nation's optimism and pragmatism are appealing across the political spectrum. While other good films have been about problems, blame and guilt, Carbon Nation is a film that celebrates solutions, inspiration and action.

This screening will be an opportunity for the many organizations involved with sustainability in the greater Kingston area to get together, see the movie with friends and colleagues, and find out what groups and businesses are doing and help move climate action along, including the Kingston Climate Smart Communities and Green Jobs Pledge.This screening  is intended to spark many more showings and strengthen the local climate action/ green jobs coalition.

1)      Attend and bring a member of one other community or religious organization or business

2)      Present a one minute elevator speech on your program or role in the community and provide displays and literature for a table.
