SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Earth SOS
DESCRIPTION:“Planet Earth\, creation\, the world in which civilization developed\, the world with climate patterns we know and stable shorelines\, is in imminent peril….continued exploitation of all fossil fuels on Earth threatens not only the other millions of species on the planet but also the survival of humanity itself – and the timetable is shorter than we thought.”  Dr. James Hansen\, Storms of My Grandchildren\, 2009 \nThe goal of this exhibition is to present art that alerts the public and to celebrate the 178 countries who signed the Paris Climate Treaty in 2016.  The works on view are by 15 artists who are passionate about the degradation of our environment and the future for us and generations yet unborn. Together we are combining our efforts and struggling to save us all from an ecological apocalypse. \nWhat threats do our artists address in their work?  Their commitments to the ravages of our planet include climate warming by carbon dioxide derived from fuel emissions\, melting glaciers\, and rising sea levels. Our sea levels are rising so dangerously that increased coastal floods are eroding our coastlines. Pollution and global warming have also decimated our coral reefs.  This has created a serious economic problem for people who depend on fishing for their livelihood.  Additionally\, the marine life that is endangered will not be available for the higher food chain predators such as sharks and whales.  Further\, our waterways have been polluted so badly that the population\, especially our children and pregnant women\, is being poisoned by rust\, plastics\, cast off drugs\, coal tar wastes\, and heavy metals such as mercury. Our forests are being ravaged by deforestation which contributes to climate change. Trees act as a natural carbon sink\, removing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.  Discarded clothes and other kinds of trash including plastics\, solvents and lubricants are filling our landfills\, releasing more carbon dioxide as they disintegrate. These are some of the concerns that our artists have addressed in their work. \n“We have reached the moment when we must make the full-effort dash to capture our precious globe before it crashes and our team – the team of all species on our planet is destroyed. But for our team\, unlike a baseball team\, there will be no chance of a comeback\, no next season to do better.”  Dr. James Hansen\, Storms of My Grandchildren\, 2009\n\nhttp://www.flomenhaftgallery.com

SUMMARY:Debate: Should Indian Point Be Shut Down?
DESCRIPTION:As part of the John Jay College Eco-Cinema Cafe a debate will be held between Robert Stone\, a documentary filmmaker whose films induce Pandora’s Promise and Earth Days\, and Marilyn Elie of Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition. This debate will be moderated by Michael D Lemonick\, Opinion Editor at Scientific American\, lecturer at Princeton University and former Senior Staff Writer at Climate Central. \n  \nFree tickets at: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/debate-should-indian-point-nuclear-power-plant-be-shut-down-tickets-24031738577 \nDebate:  Should Indian Point\nNuclear Power Plant be Shut Down?\n\n •The NRC is considering to grant 20-year extensions for two reactors at Entergy’s Indian Point nuclear plant\, which started operating more than 40 years ago.\n•Located only 26 miles from New York City and less than half a mile from a planned high-pressure natural gas pipeline.\n•Gov. Andrew Cuomo and activists are calling for the plant to be closed\, citing the difficulty of emergency evacuation of surrounding areas\, and risks from terrorist attacks\, earthquakes and hurricanes.\n•Indian Point produces over 2\,000 megawatts of power\, supplying up to 25 percent of the load for the New York City metropolitan area\, and no one has definitively determined what energy sources would replace the power it generates.\nModerated by: \nMichael D. Lemonick \, Opinion Editor at Scientific American\, lecturer at Princeton University\,  and former Senior Staff Writer at Climate Central\, and \nDebate Participants: \nIn favor of keeping Indian Point running:  Robert Stone\,  documentary filmmaker\, whose films include Pandora’s Promise* and Earth Days \nIn favor of shutting down Indian Point:  Marilyn Elie of Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition\, who is featured in the documentary Indian Point\, opening in NYC on July 8. \nRespectful Audience:  There are too few opportunities for public moderated discussions by people who disagree about complex\, important topics.  The speakers at this event are putting themselves out there as a public service.  It is critical that everyone remain polite and respectful to make this event a success and to help foster dialog and similar events about critical topics in the future. \nEducated Audience:  It is recommended that attendees prepare for this Dialog by watching Pandora’s Promise\, available on Netflix\, Amazon\, itunes\, etc and the short\, The Long Shadow of Indian Point\, which is available online. These will both be screened at the EcoCinema Cafe. The documentary\, Indian Point\, which Mariln Elie is featured in will be screened in NYC at Lincoln Center on July 8.

SUMMARY:EcoCinema Cafe at John Jay College
DESCRIPTION:From April 12 through 14\, 2016\, in the New Building Student Dining Hall\, the college will present the 3rd annual  “EcoCinema Cafe” film festival\, a joint project of the college’s Sustainability Council\, the Sustainability Environmental Justice program and the Environmental Education Fund.   Environmental documentaries will be shown all day interspersed by discussions and short films.  Check out the official film schedule to plan your viewing\, or wander in anytime to see what’s on! \nBelow are a few of the films that will have a Q&A with the filmmaker or person featured in the film? \nShellshocked:  Saving Oysters to Save Ourselves – Wednesday 4/13 at 2:50 Followed by aQ&A with artist Mara Haseltine\, featured in the film.  New York Harbor used to be the world’s oyster capital and  provided an income for many freed slaves who became oystermen\, until the water became polluted. Oysters clean the water and are a keystone species that many other creatures depend upon to survive.  Now\, local artists\, environmentalists\, students\, and scientists are bringing them back!  Hear about their progress. \nArtist\, Mara Haseltine\, who is featured in the film\, will be attending to lead a discussion after the film. \nSaving Jamaica Bay  (Thursday 4/14 at 9:50 am) followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Dan Hendricks-   For many people\, Jamaica Bay is the anonymous body of water we fly over when we go in and out of JFK Airport.  But Jamaica Bay is New York City’s largest open space – it is larger than Central Park\, Prospect Park and Van Cortlandt Park combined.  It is home to the only national wildlife refuge in the country (and possibly the world) that is accessible by subway!  It is a surprisingly rich ecosystem that provides vital habitat for hundreds of migratory bird species as well as countless other flora and fauna​ \nDespite its natural beauty\, rich history and immense resources\, Jamaica Bay was New York City’s dumping ground for decades. And recently\, plans have been announced that could fill in hundreds of acres of Jamaica Bay to build new runways needed to handle future air traffic increases at JFK airport.  Despite this history of adversity and indignity\, the Bay’s neighbors — residents of Broad Channel\, Breezy Point\, Canarsie\, Marine Park\, the Rockaways and dozens of other Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods — have developed and continue to nurture a close relationship with the body of water that has defined\, provided for and\, most recently\, threatened their lives and livelihoods.  In the process of re-discovering their historical relationship to the water and natural habitats of Jamaica Bay\, local residents have been transformed into urban environmentalists now struggling to preserve this priceless resource…and their way of life. \nFilmmaker Dan Hendrick will be attending to lead a discussion following the film! \nThese are just 2 of the amazing films we are showing in the Student Dining Hall on Tues\, Wed and Thurs (April 12-14\, 2016)!  Films will be screened starting  at 8 am and going till night so everyone has the opportunity to attend!

SUMMARY:NICK BRANDT: Book Reading
DESCRIPTION:Nick Brandt’s East African trilogy documented the effects of climate change and ceaseless upheaval on a wracked landscape and dwindling wildlife. With Inherit the Dust\, his first book since the final volume in the trilogy\, he returns to the ravaged landscape and creates panoramic vistas in which life size panels of his animal portraits are placed within scenes of environmental devastation. Reviving the images of long-dead elephants\, zebras\, and giraffes within the fraught context of ongoing life\, Brandt investigates the irrecoverable memories that haunt the plains. \nBuy a copy of Inherit the Dust or a $20 gift card to attend this event. Please note that payment is required for all online event orders at the time of checkout. The event will be located in the Strand’s 3rd floor Rare Book Room at our store at 828 Broadway at 12th Street.
