The first Sustainable Tompkins monthly gathering of the Fall 2007 season
will feature a screening of the film "Green is the New Red, White and
Blue" featuring Thomas Friedman, award-winning columnist for the New
York Times.
This special event will begin with a potluck dessert at 6:30pm with a
brief opportunity for attendees to share what we're up to. The film
screening - complete with local, organic popcorn and local butter and
salt to taste - will begin at 6:45pm. The film runs about 90 minutes.
The location for this special film screening event, which is free and
open to the public, will be the Center for Natural Sciences at Ithaca
College, Room 112. (This is a theatre-style auditorium).
Parking for this event is free on campus, in "O" lot behind the Park
School of Communications. Or you can take TCAT Route 11/12 to campus,
which drops off behind the Park School.

Film synopsis: In this 2007 series (first broadcast on public
television), New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman looks at
various "green" technologies--hydroelectric, solar, wind, and nuclear
power, hybrid, electric, and hydrogen-fuel-cell cars, clean-coal,
bio-fuels, and energy-conservation methods--being adopted by American
businesses and families today, to reduce the output of the greenhouse
gas carbon dioxide and ultimately to reduce global warming and ensure
political stability throughout the world.
Hope to see you all there!
