Join us in a lively community discussion about climate change, the consequences of global warming, and the individual actions we can take now to conserve energy and help wildlife. Speakers trained by The Climate Project, a non-profit group that works to bring education, information, research, and citizen action programs to communities around the country, will share the science of global warming, the myths and misconceptions, and the opportunities for making a difference.

Earth Day Celebration

Sunday, April 22, 2007, 3 p.m.
Round Hill Center
20 High Street, Round Hill, VA 20141


With wit, hope, and strong scientific data, the film An Inconvenient Truth ultimately brings home Al Gore’s persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue – rather it is the biggest moral challenge facing our global civilization. Following a free showing of the Oscar Award winning movie at the Round Hill Center, an open discussion will be led by Mary Lou Fox, a facilitator trained by The Climate Project.
