Eco-Movie Night Featuring: "A Convenient Truth: Urban Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil"

See how Curitiba, Brazil was transformed into a model green city through innovations in transportation, affordable housing, urban parks and recycling. Progressive mayors, city planners and designers determined that the city should revolve around people, not cars. From the cost-effective yet expansive bus system (with the notable bus station tubes) to the pedestrian-only walkways, the documentary highlights how effective, people-friendly and sustainable changes can be made with minimal or no cost.

This is an informative, inspirational documentary aimed at sharing ideas to provoke environment-friendly and cost-effective changes in cities worldwide. (2007)
