Hello,
This is just a short note to say that you are cordially invited to attend a Boston area "debut" of a new film concerning global climate change. The volume of information on global climate change that has become widely available in the last six months is truly staggering. It is hard to absorb both the amount and the gravity of the messages that they scientific community has been launching to the public at large.
The film by and about Al Gore conveyed a great deal of the known information to the public in 2006 when it received national circulation, but since this important film a great many more pieces of the global climate change puzzle have become publcly available. Moreover, a new range of arguments are being developed to communicate to a public that for a variety of reasons remains uninformed or unengaged on the importance of this issue. There are signs that the public is experiencing "crisis fatigue" in reference to climate change, and in the process people often feel helpless, hopeless and confused as to what they can start doing on their own and in their own communities.
The Environment Club of the Harvard Extension School is working to help students and citizens from all walks of life to overcome their sense of crisis fatigue. On Wednesday, 20 June from 3:00 until 6:00pm The Environment Club is sponsoring a free viewing of the new film, "Everything's Cool." ( http://climate-talks.net/film ).
Please come if you can, and please feel free to draw this event to the attention of friends and associates. You can e-mail them the introductory link: http://climate-talks.net/film -- or for that matter just forward this e-mail to them.
Further information is available through the Environment Club's flyer for the event at: http://www.climate-talks.net/2007-ENVRE130/20070620-Environment-Club.pdf
You can forward this link as well to anyone who you think might be interested in this important event.
If you have the time, and can see how it might help, please print out this flyer and distribute it to friends and associates or post it wherever you feel it might be appropriate to reach interested citizens.
Hope to see you on the evening of the June 20th.
Cordially,
