Join thousands of people this weekend gathering to watch Al Gore’s film, “An Inconvenient Truth.” MoveOn.Org and Al Gore have teamed up to make this Saturday a night of climate action. All you have to do is agree to host the event, rent the movie, possibly pop some popcorn, maybe brew some organic shade-grown hot chocolate, and hit “play!” MoveOn will do the rest by inviting all MoveOn members in the area and providing you with press release and guided discussion materials. If you {host} it they will come! If you can’t host, but still want to see the movie, click here to find the closes screening to you and then, ideally, it will be so close you can walk!
About Josh
After graduating from Wheaton College with an independently designed degree in "Global Sustainability," Josh Arnold founded Global Awareness Local Action (G.A.L.A.), a 501(c) 3 nonprofit based in his hometown of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. G.A.L.A. works to build sustainable community through education, service, and advocacy. As G.A.L.A.'s Director, Josh inspires community volunteers to work together in integrating principles of sustainability into models of Food & Agriculture, Economy & Business, Town Planning & Design, and Personal Lifestyle. Josh describes his life as a constant "zooming in and out" from the global, to the local, and back to the global. Josh has participated in CSD 13-15 through SustainUS and Global Youth Action Network. Today, Josh's focus is more local as he juggles different roles on town committees including the town energy committee, agricultural commission, and historical society. For play, Josh likes marinating in wood-fired hot tubs, slurping juicy, ripe tomatoes, and getting lost in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
I was estatic to learn yesterday that since our PED (basically a US Gov. class) teacher wanted to see An Inconvenient Truth, he’s showing it to all of his classes! I’m known by many in my school to be environmentally-oriented and I’ve already started getting a number of questions from formerly uninterested classmates! This movie has the potential to change many hearts and minds.
Good luck!
