The Peters Township Public Library GO Green Club will kick off a new “Green Wednesdays” Film Series at the library on Wednesday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m. with a free screening of Carbon Nation, a feature length documentary about climate change solutions.
The club will host screenings of environmentally-focused films at 7:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of March, April, May and June in the Reading Room on the second floor of the library. Light organic refreshments will be served. Registration is requested to attend any of the screenings by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org or call 724.941.9430.
Scheduled films include:
Carbon Nation (2011) on Wednesday, March 5. Even if you doubt the severity of the impact of climate change or just don't buy it at all, this compelling and relevant film illustrates how SOLUTIONS to climate change also address other social, economic and national security issues.
Trashed-No Place for Waste (2012) on Wednesday, April 2. With the participation of Jeremy Irons, the film looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land and sea by waste.
Switch (2012) on Wednesday, May 7. Every energy resource — fossil, nuclear and renewable — is undergoing profound changes. And overall, we're gradually shifting from coal and oil to the energies of tomorrow. But rather than advocate for how it should happen, Switch travels the world to discover how it most likely will happen.
Chasing Ice (2012) on Wednesday, June 4. Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of climate change. Using time-lapse cameras, his videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate.
The library’s GO Green Club’s mission is to provide the community with educational resources through programs, library materials, and volunteer activities to help create a more environmentally- friendly and responsible lifestyle.
