All are invited to watch the film and learn more about climate change and social justice

WHAT: The public is invited to a showing of the film Green: the New Red White and Blue. Award winning author and journalist Thomas L. Friedman travels the globe to unravel the tangled web of where Americans get energy, and reveals what viewers can do about their carbon footprint. Friedman visits the front lines of an energy revolution that is just taking shape, and reveals what is at stake for not only America but the world. Green: The New Red, White and Blue examines ways American families can change the world and have the same effect as global giants like Google and Texas Instruments. The film is 65 minutes in length and will be followed by a discussion.
