MindfuLive! Community Event Series Presents Carbon Nation, Sept. 23, 2010

The conversation about climate change does not need to revolve around gloom and doom. What this city, this country, this planet needs when it comes to climate change is a conversation about solutions. What do we as individuals, as families, as communities do to combat climate change?

See photos from the evening here!

Sneak Peek: Roscoe, TX - An entire town uplifted by soaring income and spirit because of the clean wind energy industry in West Texas.

The old adage that every individual's actions make a difference still holds true, but Carbon Nation offers us conversation about how climate change also involves social, economic and national security issues. Join Mindful Metropolis for our first MindfuLive! event of the 2010-2011 season, as we screen this film and continue the conversation about climate change.
