Film Screening- "Burning the Future: Coal in America"
Film Screening of Burning the Future
Coal is the second largest contributor of carbon dioxide and is detrimental to our health and the environment. The U.S. is experiencing the largest push ever to build more of these dirty plants across the country.
Join Public Citizen and other environmental organizations as we host a screening of Burning the Future 7 pm, February 27th at the Bering Memorial United Methodist Church, 1440 Harold Street (in the Montrose Area).
Burning the Future: Coal in America is the story of an ancient rock that transformed a nation, using America's thirst for cheap energy to frame today's battle between the downtrodden residents of the coalfields of West Virginia and the industry that dominates a region and influences politics at the highest levels of government. It explodes with shocking images of the havoc wreaked on people. And it makes a heartfelt plea to the consumer to stand up and pay attention to the hidden costs of our cheap electricity.
