CARBON NATION, a documentary movie about climate change SOLUTIONS, will be shown at the Craftsbury Public Library at 7 PM on Wednesday, Oct. 17. For those who doubt the severity of the impact of climate change or just don't buy it at all, this is a compelling and relevant film that illustrates how SOLUTIONS to climate change also address other social, economic and national security issues. You'll meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way.

The film is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-preachy, non-partisan, big tent film that shows tackling climate change boosts the economy, increases national & energy security and promotes health & a clean environment. The film is an entertaining, informed and pragmatic primer about why it's incredibly smart to be a part of the new, low-carbon economy: it's good business. While other good films have been about problems, blame and guilt, carbon nation is a film that celebrates solutions, inspiration and action.
