Eco road trip docu-comedy presented tonight
WOODSTOCK – The Defenders' environmental film series continues with a showing of the documentary "YERT - Your Environmental Road Trip" at 7 p.m. tonight, Feb. 8, at the Woodstock High School Auditorium, 501 W. South St., Woodstock.
The showing is sponsored by the Defenders, McHenry County Transition, and the Woodstock High School Green Club, members of the Defenders said in a press release.
Fifty states. One year. Zero garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three friends hit the road – traveling America with hope, humor – and all of their garbage – to explore the good, the bad, and the weird across every state in search of extraordinary innovators and courageous citizens who are tackling humanity's greatest environmental crises.
As the YERT team layers outlandish eco-challenges onto their year-long quest, an unexpected turn of events throws the project for a loop in this award-winning docu-comedy featuring Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Will Allen, and more.
Watch the trailer (and other clips) at www.yert.com.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations to help cover expenses are welcome. For more information, call the Defenders at 815-338-0393.
