Environmental film series at Hillcrest

Environmental Film Series sponsored by Sustainable West Milford West Milford - Join Sustainable West Milford on Thursday, Oct. 15, for the first of six movies in its Environmental Film Series. This series will cover environmental and sustainability issues including energy, water, organic foods, the importance of buying local, and more. Handouts and Web site links will be available for attendees to learn more and take action. First to be shown is the award-winning film Kilowatt Ours: A Plan to Re-Energize America, which provides simple, practical, affordable solutions to America’s energy crisis. Kilowatt Ours is the story of filmmaker and conservationist Jeff Barrie’s journey across the United States to document our energy-related problems and present practical, cost-saving solutions for consumers. Widespread problems are revealed in Kilowatt Ours including mountaintop removal, air pollution, climate change, childhood asthma, and mercury contamination. The film illustrates practical solutions that can help homeowners save approximately $1,000 per year on energy bills. By using products marked with EPA’s Energy Star label, purchasing power generated from renewable resources, more effectively insulating our homes, and utilizing natural energy sources like sunlight, wind, and geothermal power, consumers can reduce the impact of their energy usage, while saving money.
