The Solutions Grassroot Tour: A Solar Home Companion

Josh Fox

Taking a cue from the popular NPR program, A Prairie Home Companion, the Solutions Grassroots A Solar Home Companion tour will visit Lehigh University’s Whitaker Lab Auditorium at 12:30 p.m., March 15, in Bethlehem.

Conceived and directed by award-winning filmmaker and activist Josh Fox, the free program combines classic storytelling and great music with roll-up-your sleeves organizing to look at the impacts of fossil fuel development and provide a vision for developing renewable energy.

A Solar Home Companion will include never-before-seen sneak peek clips of Fox’s new film on climate change, a world-spanning new look at the crisis. Fox has traveled to the Amazon, Africa, Iceland and the American West to witness changes firsthand and bring inspirational stories of communities on the front lines of the climate crisis around the world to audiences.

Fox notes, “Governor Cuomo has shown bold and brave leadership in banning fracking in New York, now we have to do the next step: build renewable energy and sustainable communities.”
