Rainforest Action Network event at Greenheart Shop!

When: Wednesday, January 7th at 6:30 pm

Come join the Rainforest Action Network at Greenheart for drinks, vegan and palm-oil free appetizers, green conversation, and the film "Everything's Cool". The film will begin at 7 pm.

Sliding scale donation of $2-$6 to cover costs would be greatly appreciated.

About the film:

EVERYTHING'S COOL is a comedic documentary that follows a group of global warming messengers on a high stakes quest through an extraordinary three years of transformation, from 2003-to the eve of 2007.

As much about messaging as it is about the messengers, as much about human nature as it is about humans' impact on nature, Everything's Cool explores what it will take to move America from laggard nation to world leader on global warming.

The ultimate challenge is to show how urgent this situation really is - and still leave people optimistic and willing to do something. That perhaps is the ultimate challenge to all global warming messengers. Hold on... this is bigger than changing your light bulbs.
