Concerned About Carbon Pollution? 350 Bucks County Hosting Free Event

The Bucks County chapter of 350.org will present Episode 4, “Ice and Brimstone,” of the Emmy-award winning series, “Years of Living Dangerously,” on Saturday, June 13, at 7 pm at the Newtown Friends Meeting House, 219 Court Street in Newtown.

The hour-long movie will be followed by letter writing to government officials regarding implementing a carbon fee and dividend to reduce carbon pollution and its impact on climate.

There is no charge for the event and the public is invited to attend.

In “Ice and Brimstone,” Lesley Stahl of ‘60 Minutes’ travels to Greenland to investigate the effects of global warming in the Arctic. Down south, Ian Somerhalder travels to North Carolina to listen in on both sides of the evangelical community’s debate over climate change and finds himself caught in the middle of not only a religious debate, but a familial one: the father is a megachurch preacher who doesn’t believe in climate change; the daughter is an activist trying to shut down the local coal-fired power plant.

350 Bucks County is the local chapter of 350.org, an international grassroots effort to decrease carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million in order to deter global warming and climate change, http://350.org/
