The Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership (GGP) invites the community to celebrate Earth Day with an evening showing of environmental films at the Liberty Theater on Wednesday, April 22.
Our event, the Pagosa Springs Earth Day Film Fest, is a caravan of the Colorado Environmental Film Festival (CEFF) which recently celebrated two decades of films that inspire environmental awareness, stewardship and action in Golden.
This year’s program includes three best of class films from the CEFF lineup:
• “Global Warming” — Best Feature Film. This film is an extraordinary journey across the planet showing how climate change is affecting our world, what it will really mean for us and what we can do about it.
• “What the River Knows” — Best Short Film. For the past several years, a lost Eden drowned under Lake Powell has been re-emerging, revealing the follies of the past and a new way forward for the Colorado River.
• “Chirp Talker” — Best Youth Films. A curious girl invents a Chirp Talker to translate birds’ secret messages, discovering nature’s hidden voice in the middle of the city.
The doors will open at the Liberty at 5:30 p.m., and the films will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at pagosagreen.org and cost $25; children under 13 enter free.
Along with an inspiring lineup of films, guests can win door prizes from local businesses.
The GGP takes seriously its role in our community as an advocate of environmental stewardship and presents the above program as part of that function.
The event is also a major fundraiser, and proceeds will support the recent maintenance project undertaken to keep the three demonstration domes on the site in pristine condition as they represent our community. This is an opportunity for the community in turn to show its support as it enjoys these excellent films.
Folks with an interest in a hands-on relationship with the domes can support the GGP by participating in the actual programs — education, growing, community relations. Volunteer positions exist in all areas. For more information, email info@pagosaspringsggp.org or call (970) 264-5232 and leave a message.
