WHEN: Wednesday, February 10th, 2016, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
WHERE: Jefferson Educational Society, 3207 State Street, Erie

Join us for a viewing of the documentary The Greenest Building with an in-person introduction and discussion with Jane Turville, writer and director of the film.

Over the next 20 years, Americans will demolish one-third of our existing building stock (more than 82 billion square feet) in order to replace seemingly inefficient buildings with energy efficient “green” buildings. The hour-long documentary The Greenest Building poses the question: Is demolition in the name of sustainability really the best use of natural, social, and economic resources? Or, like the urban renewal programs of the 1960s, is this well-intentioned planning with devastating environmental and cultural consequences?
