NMH to Screen Green Films

GILL, MA—Northfield Mount Hermon School will screen two films about sustainability, An Inconvenient Truth and Kilowatt Ours . The movies will be shown at Beveridge Media Center at NMH and are free and open to the public.

An Inconvenient Truth is former Vice President Al Gore’s striking look at how global warming is changing our planet, and will continue to do so. It offers viewers inspiration and ideas about how to turn the situation around. It will be shown on February 11 at 3 pm at the Beveridge Media Center.

Kilowatt Ours exposes the truth about the destruction to the environment wrought by coal mining and power plant emissions. It also provides concrete solutions on how consumers can reduce their power use and cut their electricity bills. It will be shown on February 25 at 3 pm at the Beveridge Media Center.

The movies are being shown as part of the Green Cup Challenge, where 15 independent high schools in seven states this February are competing to cut their electricity use by the largest percentage, compared to a baseline measurement. Locally, NMH, Stonleigh-Burnham School and Deerfield Academy are participating. NMH, with Phillips Exeter Academy and the Lawrenceville School, is running the contest, and won last year’s challenge.
