Leaving the Carbon Economy: Presented by The Sierra Club and The Honest Weight Food Co-op

 Leaving the Carbon Economy: Susan Butler, PhD, a Tufts University researcher, and Sierra Club Massachusetts member, will show her fascinating film, “Leaving the Carbon Economy,” the story of one homeowner’s frustration with her carbon footprint and how it led her to dig up her property to make a change.  This 15 minute film shows how she re-engineers her life and her house to get her carbon footprint as close to zero or below as possible.  After the film she will conduct an “EcoChat: Sustainable Me, Sustainable You” with the audience about ways to pull the plug on the carbon economy. 

 “A great story about how one household can move off imported energy and onto new technologies, gathering all its energy from sunshine that lands in the lot.  See the film; change your life too.”  --Emily Norton, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Sierra Club
