Residents of Southeast Michigan will have four local opportunities to see the Al Gore-developed presentation, “An Inconvenient Truth.” The presentations will be given by Kathryn Savoie, phD, who was one of 1,000 individuals personally trained by Gore as part of
The Climate Project to help spread the word about global warming.
Savoie is an ecologist who is currently environmental program director for Dearborn-based
ACCESS. She describes the presentation as “very powerful” and says that it generally generates numerous audience questions.
The first local presentation will be held at the Normal Park Neighborhood Community Center in Ypsilanti on January 31 at 7:30 p.m.
The second, sponsored by Southwest Detroit Environmental Vison, will be held in Southwest Detroit at the Odd Fellows Building on February 8 at 6 p.m.
On February 13, the presentation will be given at the National Arab American Museum in Dearborn. It will also include a discussion with Shadia Wood and Nia Robinson from the Campus Climate Challenge, who will talk about work they are doing with young people across the country.
Then on March 3 at 9 am, An Inconvenient Truth heads to St. Philip Lutheran Church in Trenton. Savoie’s presentation will be augmented with a panel discussion on the church’s role in leading on the issue of global warming.
