LexGWAC: Lexington Global Warming Action Coalition
MOVIE: “From Paris to Pittsburgh”
Thursday, October 17th, 7:00pm
Cary Memorial Library, 1874 Massachusetts Ave, Large Meeting Room
As scientists’ warnings about the impacts of climate change become more and more dire—and the level of inaction from the federal government becomes more and more alarming—a growing number of leaders are fighting global warming with local solutions.
This film features the voices of some of these forward-thinking leaders, including NRDC president Rhea Suh, along with the stories of everyday Americans who have been on the front lines of the climate crisis. From the former coal town of Pittsburgh to America’s breadbasket of Iowa to the island of Puerto Rico, the film takes you through climate change–fueled disasters in numerous communities, as well as their recovery, resiliency, and tireless efforts to inspire homegrown change.
