Earth Day events
Earth Day was on April 22nd and Benj and I were at a magnificent party for Facing Climate Change. The event was hosted by our project partner, Cascadia Consulting Group, and our advisors, Spencer Reeder from Cascadia, Amy Snover from the Climate Impacts Group and Eric de Place from Sightline, spoke about their current work on climate change. We were also lucky enough to have Kathleen Nisbet from Oyster Farmers and Larry Campbell from Coastal Tribes share a few words with us after we screened their films. And finally, we have a new set of prints from our Pacific Northwest series! They were there, too. But the best part was the audience, a room full of movers and shakers all working to contribute to the story of climate change in their own way.
Later that week, we headed down to Portland and did a second Earth Day event at Ecotrust. Wenix Red Elk from Plateau Tribes joined us and brought the conversation down to root level. It was an honor to screen our films with our friends at Ecotrust. A big thanks to everyone who joined us there on a beautiful spring evening.
