Energy mentors movie night

Date: February 25, 2025
Time: 19:00 - 22:00

Together we will watch the 2021 American political satire and black comedy “Don’t Look Up”.
The film tells the story of two astronomers attempting to warn humanity about an approaching comet that will destroy human civilization. The comet serves as a visual metaphor for the impending climate emergency and prompts us to think about how vulnerable people are put at the greatest risk when companies and governments deny scientific facts.
While in contrast to the comet in the movie, the impact of climate-change may not be experienced by city-dwellers on a daily basis, everyone can do a little to collectively make a big impact. Let’s discuss about the state of the climate debate today and what small steps each of us can take to stand up for the planet.
We will meet in Clubroom Yo-kylä 8D 4 at 7 pm on the 25.2. Max. 20 people, first come first serve. Sign up by writing us on IG @energypositiveturku
