In the November issue of the Voice, Robin Tierney wrote a review of the recent Green Festival that was held in October at the Convention Center. It is well worth checking the article out online because every one of the innovative green vendors that Robin describes includes a useful link.

I wasn't able to go. Sounds like a diverse group of businesses and products were displayed at the event. Robin's enthusiasm for their promise definitely rubbed off on me. If you went to the Green Festival, please comment here. Does anyone know of more events like this in our area?

"In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review,
but here they are: 'You owe it to yourself to see "An Inconvenient Truth". If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.' "
--Roger Ebert

Come to a Screening of Gore’s global warming documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth” in Takoma Park on Tuesday, October 3rd.

Humanity is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

With wit, smarts and hope, AN INCOVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue - rather, it is simply one of the biggest moral challenges facing every person in our times.

On Tuesday, October 3rd, Takoma Park Presbyterian Church will host a screening of “An Inconvenient Truth.” The screening begins at 7pm sharp and will be followed by a discussion led by Mike Tidwell about how global warming will affect you and what you can do about it. Mike is the director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, a local group dedicated to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia and DC.

Don’t miss the chance to see this life-changing movie in your neighborhood!
