Me neither. That’s why I’m going to see Carbon Nation on October 25, 2010 at the Metcalf Auditorium at RISD. Details are here on how to get your tickets.

Since its Premiere at The Washington Environmental Film Festival on March 28th Carbon Nation has had over 70 screenings and is headed for a major NYC screening on January 14, 2011. This film offers a glimpse to solutions rather than focusing on the problem. But don’t just take my word for it. Steve Katona, Director of Ocean Health for Conservation International, just wrote after viewing the film:

“Carbon Nation is terrific!  It is positive, solutions-based and packed with information and uplifting examples.  It leaves the viewer with no doubt that we can stabilize atmospheric carbon levels, and that we already know how to do it.  The film celebrates the contributions of leaders, entrepreneurs, businesses and ordinary citizens of all kinds whose efforts point the way to success.  Equally important, the film demonstrates that such efforts not only benefit natural environments, but also improve human well-being, create jobs and build opportunities for a vibrant economic future. I think the film is going to make a huge improvement to public attitudes and, I hope, government attitudes also.”

See you there!

Yes! On Monday October, 25, 2010 you’re invited to the Providence premiere of Carbon Nation, a documentary about climate solutions. Filmmaker Peter Byck has taken a complex and polarizing topic and made it apolitical, accessible, and entertaining. You’ll meet (to name a few):

  • A rancher bringing new life to a Texas town through wind farming.
  • Government employees working to make the military more energy efficient.
  • Farmers using innovative, low-carbon growing methods.

The screening, presented by the Conservation Law Foundation and ClimateCounts.org, will be followed by a discussion with director Peter Byck and a panel of environmental pundits and climate policy experts. A reception with light refreshments will follow the discussion.

The details:
