Join us Monday March 9th at 6-8pm in the Castleton University Jeffords Auditorium for a free screening of the film 'Paris to Pittsburgh' to be followed by a panel discussion.
In July 2017, President Trump announced his decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, saying he was "elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris." Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto immediately responded: "I can assure you that we will follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement for our people, our economy & future." Pittsburgh is one of the cities leading the fight on climate change, and Mayor Peduto's response inspired the title of this film. Paris to Pittsburgh shines a light on the many forgotten communities and people who have been affected by climate change in our country, as well as solutions for how we can fight back and reduce our carbon footprint.
This event is hosted by the Green Campus Working Group.
