It documents a roadtrip around the country, showcasing all of the innovative solutions our fellow people have come up with to live sustainably. YERT is incredibly inspirational and shows us that in the face of today's environmental challenges we have the potential to not only survive, but thrive!
There will be refreshments, and what's better than a thought-provoking, interesting, sometimes humorous, and ever-inspiring movie to get you through your mid-week slump?!

The 2010 Pennsylvania Progressive Summit was universally hailed as a major event on last year’s progressive calendar. The 2011 event promises to be even more dynamic. It’s being held this year in Pittsburgh, at the Sheraton Station Square (a union hotel!) on the weekend of January 22-23. We’ve made some changes that we think will make the 2011 Summit more educational and motivational. First, we’ll be holding the event over two full days instead of one. That means double the number of sessions and speakers. Second, we’ve added a new co-sponsor, Democracy for America. DFA will be providing its Campaign Training Academy as a track for issue and electoral campaign managers and activists. This program has been very popular wherever it has been offered, and we’re excited to be able to incorporate it into Summit 2011. The PA Progressive Summit will be the hottest ticket of 2011. Don’t miss out by registering late.
