Sustain Appalachian

"Switch" awarded Winner Best of the Fest in the Colorado Environmental Film Festival, follows energy visionary Dr. Scott Tinker who explores the world's energy sources - coal to solar, oil to biofuels - to get answers from national and international leaders of government, industry and academia. On a mission "to discover a path to our future that is surprising and remarkably pragmatic." Taken from the film's website, "Switch is the first truly balanced energy film, embraced and supported by people all along the energy spectrum - fossil and renewable, academic and environmental." This film is hosted by the ASU Renewable Energy Initiative (ASUREI). 

The spring Sustainability Film Series is designed to raise awareness of current environmental issues and help provide solutions.
