Sustainable Hull is hosting a film called "Carbon Nation" on April 30 at 7 PM at Temple Beth Sholom. Carbon Nation is a documentary movie about climate change SOLUTIONS.

You'll meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way. You can go to their website (www.sustainablehull.org) for more information.
