Event Details

Paris to Pittsburgh - (2018-77 minutes) As part of the Library’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day this year, PWPL is partnering with local members of Transition Town Port Washington, an organization focused on climate change and sustainability, to present a three-part documentary film series. Paris to Pittsburgh shines a light on the many forgotten people and communities who have been affected by climate change in our country, as well as solutions for how we can fight back and reduce our carbon footprint. State and city leaders have stepped up to meet the goals of the Paris climate agreement. Learn about Fleet Farming in Orlando, training ex-cons to install solar panels, new jobs in wind energy and New York City’s revolutionary zero waste campaign. Rachel Brosnahan narrates. A community discussion will follow the film.
