CLAREMONT — “Paris to Pittsburgh” is being shown in Claremont on Earth Day, April 22, and the day after! This documentary is a Bloomberg Philanthropies’ film distributed by National Geographic Documentary Films. It “brings to life the impassioned efforts of individuals who are battling the most severe threats of climate change in their own backyards. Set against the national debate over the United States’ energy future — and the Trump administration’s explosive decision to exit the Paris Climate Agreement — the film captures what’s at stake for communities around the country and the inspiring ways Americans are responding.” The Sierra Club’s Ready for 100 Campaign is mentioned in this documentary as one of the ways Americans are meeting the global challenge to transition away from the use of fossil fuels. To view the trailer, visit ParistoPittsburgh.com. The local efforts of five communities in western New Hampshire to achieve 100 percent renewable energy goals through the Sierra Club’s Ready for 100 Campaign is a heroic effort to address global warming, and build local resilient and loving communities. ACTS Now, a local spirit-led book and eco/social justice action group, is sponsoring this event at the Claremont Community Center, 152 South Street, Claremont, on both Monday, April 22 and Tuesday, April 23, from 6:20 to 8:30 p.m., free of charge. A panel discussion on local renewable energy projects will follow the film screening, offered after both screenings, Monday and Tuesday. One of the goals of this event is to highlight positive opportunities participants have to address global warming in practical ways as individuals and as community members. We hope you will join us!
