New Jersey alone is responsible for approximately 1% of the entire world’s emissions.An Inconvenient Truth features former Vice President Al Gore, who has advocated for action on global warming since the early 1990’s and stories of Gore’s life figure prominently in the film.
Those attending the film will receive information on how they can take action to reduce their own emissions of greenhouse gases through energy conservation, the use of renewable energy, and advocacy. Event sponsored by GreenFaith.org |
