The Union of Concerned Scientists and Penguin Classics have published Thoreau's Legacy: American Stories about Global Warming an outstanding anthology of essays and photos from Americans all across the nation. The foreword from award-winning author Barbara Kingsolver - which itself has been getting a lot of attention - serves as a strong segue.
The entire book is online for readers to access for free in a very cool interactive format. And thousands of people have been reading it online, tweeting it and blogging in just the first few days since launch. I highly recommend you check it out: http://www.ucsusa.org/americanstories
Filmmakers Barbara Ettinger and Sven Huseby, creators of the powerful documentary film "A Sea Change" which focuses on the issue of ocean acidification, appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, the live national public affairs show, this morning for a half hour segment. Watch the video below and join the "A Sea Change" group on Facebook.
Today's World Premiere of "A Sea Change: Imagine A World Without Fish" - the powerful new documentary film on ocean acidification - was a spectacular event. More than 650 people packed into the Baird Auditorium at the Natural History Museum and many additional people had to be turned away because all the seats and standing room was filled. The theater manager told us it was the largest audience she had ever seen in the auditorium. At the conclusion "A Sea Change" received a huge 5 minute standing ovation!
Check out this awesome coverage of "A Sea Change" from NBC4, the top-rated local TV station in the Washington, DC market. The segment is reported by veteran environmental reporter (and NBC4 news anchor) Wendy Rieger.
The 2050 Group, LLC has been hired to publicize "A Sea Change" the powerful new documentary feature film that explores ocean acidification and the impact of CO2 emissions on the fish in the oceans.
