Sustainable Lafayette and Stanley Middle School’s Project Earth team up for the first movie screening at Town Hall Theatre in over two years. The film, Idle Threat, follows its director/producer George Pakenham as he brings the attention of New York motorists to the dangers caused to the environment by idling cars.
The statistics are numbing: Idling engines consume more than 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year, spewing high levels of toxic carbon emissions. New York City is a prime offender, a microcosm of a worldwide epidemic. In New York alone there are more than one million exhaust emitting automobiles, 13,000 taxis and 6,000 buses. It's literally enough to make one sick--eight million New Yorkers, one million of them wheezing asthmatics, struggling to breathe.
Following the film Project Earth will lead a youth panel to discuss the film and ways we can combat the effects of vehicle exhaust on a local level.
