Tuesday, April 19th 6:30 – 8:10 pm Campus Cinema NC State University Witherspoon Student Center   2810 Cates Ave.  Raleigh, NC For those of you that came out for the March 30th screening of the documentary, The 11th Hour, we offer our most sincere apologies for the technical snafu that prohibited the showing of the film. We assure you that the kinks have been worked out for this rescheduled event!  Once again it is free, and open to anyone who’d like to attend. There will not be a Green Drinks event or presentation associated with the rescheduled movie screening. Thanks and we hope to see you there! Triangle USGBC EP is teaming up with NC State University’s Sustainability Office for a free movie screening / GreenDrinks event, as part of their Empower Movie Series. Join us at the student cinema on NCSU’s campus for the rescheduled screening of the The 11th Hour on Tuesday, April 19th.    The 11th Hour is a 2007 documentary film, created, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment, with contributions from over 50 politicians, scientists, and environmental activists, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, and journalist Paul Hawken. The film documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems including global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats, while proposing potential solutions to these problems by calling for restorative action by the reshaping and rethinking of global human activity through technology, social responsibility and conservation.
