The Carbonauts

SOLD OUT. Back to the big apple, baby! Thanks to Lauren and Alexia (Lexi) for co-hosting and our Carbonauts’ Ambassadors Tosin and Eleonora for helping out! It was great to hear from Colin, Director of Operations at Poster House, about their new climate exhibit and ways that the museum stays sustainable. It was also fantastic to hear from Iusa (Production Manager + Designer at Snow Milk) about his art made on second-hand clothing. We are grateful to have raffled off six Snow Milk tote bags made exclusively for this event. All proceeds from the raffle were donated directly to Green City Force and we got to hear from their wonderful Executive Director, Tonya!

Love any connects...

Such a great film club premiere last week (already 150+ members!). We watched Lowland Kids (https://bit.ly/4cqqfZr) and a selected portion of We the Power (https://bit.ly/3W4GUMl). Lowland Kids is a remarkable documentary that humanizes the issue of climate change by focusing on two teenagers facing displacement on Louisiana's Isle de Jean Charles. Directed by Sandra Winther, the film is an intimate portrayal of their lives, highlighting the personal stakes of environmental devastation. We the Power documents the citizen-led community-energy movement in Europe, highlighting local cooperatives in Germany, Spain, and England as they reclaim clean electricity production from big energy companies. Directed by David Byars, the film showcases visionaries transforming their communities through renewable energy initiatives. It’s exciting and inspirational! Not a member yet? Join our next club meeting on July 17th! https://bit.ly/cstsfc Some testimonials from our meeting: “Fantastic! Loved this first session!!” “Made me think.
