EVENT: Promoting Renewable Energy and Sustainability

Zephyr Teachout and Josh Fox in-person presenting:

“A SOLAR HOME COMPANION”

March 1, 2015 at 7:00 pm

The Buffalo History Museum

Lightly parodying NPR/Garrison Keillor’s popular “A Prairie Home Companion”, the show is like an old fashioned variety show, with music, stories, film sequences, and Americana, but with a new twist: this show teaches its audience how to go renewable and how to organize for a sustainable future.

Free and Open to the Public

Seating is limited. Make your reservation here:

Conceived and directed by Oscar-Nominated and Emmy-Winning filmmaker and activist Josh Fox, The Solutions Grassroots Tour:  “A Solar Home Companion” combines classic storytelling and great music with roll-up-your sleeves organizing to look at the impacts of fossil fuel development and provide a vision for developing renewable energy like no other event on the planet.

This program is being sponsored in Buffalo by: Sierra Club Niagara Group; UB School of Architecture and Planning, WNY Environmental Alliance; Western NY Drilling Defense 

and others.
