Carbon Nation @ SIFF Cinema
March 4 - 10
More info at siff.net

Billed as "The Climate Change Movie That Doesn't Even Care If You Believe In Climate Change," Carbon Nation is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-preachy, non-partisan, big tent film that shows tackling climate change boosts the economy, increases national & energy security and promotes health & a clean environment.

Director Peter Byck spent three years traveling the country to visit with everyone from ordinary citizens to titans of industry, all of who are striving to be part of a new, low-carbon economy. The good news is we already have the technology to combat climate change, and it also happens to be very good business.
