How to Power A City
男女操逼视频软件淧eople don男女操逼视频软件檛 believe in their own ability to make changes. Or they look at something男女操逼视频软件攍et男女操逼视频软件檚 say solar energy in New York, or clean energy in New York and think 男女操逼视频软件榯his is impossible.男女操逼视频软件 That idea, in and of itself, is probably the biggest obstacle. Because it is possible.男女操逼视频软件
These are the words of Dyson Assistant Professor of Media, Communications, and Visual Arts Melanie LaRosa. Over half a decade ago, LaRosa, who is also a documentary filmmaker, began to further explore clean energy transitions being done in New York City, primarily out of curiosity. As LaRosa recounts, 男女操逼视频软件測ou would go to a farmer男女操逼视频软件檚 market and there男女操逼视频软件檇 be these tables set up, and they男女操逼视频软件檇 be like, 男女操逼视频软件榟ey you want to switch to wind-power?男女操逼视频软件 I remember talking to some of the people at the tables and honestly, they couldn男女操逼视频软件檛 give great answers about how it worked. That男女操逼视频软件檚 documentary filmmaker catnip right there男女操逼视频软件攊f I男女操逼视频软件檓 interested, other people probably are too.男女操逼视频软件
Wanting to further explore how these processes worked in practice, LaRosa decided to find the closest wind farm to New York City. Her research took her to Atlantic City, New Jersey, home of the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA), a wastewater treatment center committed to 100 percent renewable energy. While LaRosa was impressed the initiative alone, she also noticed something that she didn男女操逼视频软件檛 quite expect from a wastewater treatment plant男女操逼视频软件攖hat they offered tours.
男女操逼视频软件淟et me say that again: They gave tours. This was a wastewater treatment facility,男女操逼视频软件 says LaRosa. 男女操逼视频软件淗ave you ever gone on a tour of a wastewater treatment facility?男女操逼视频软件
By this point, LaRosa began to sketch out the idea that eventually became her documentary film . While at ACUA, she discussed her intention of documenting the people and projects being conducted, and how they are helping to bring clean energy to the public in a sustainable way. With ACUA on board, she began further exploring related initiatives across the country.
Over the next several years, LaRosa followed diverse stories across the US and Puerto Rico男女操逼视频软件攔anging from Las Vegas男女操逼视频软件 pledge to become the first large city in America to run on 100 percent renewable energy, to a Vermont utility company committed to being the first in the nation for clean energy integration, to energy transformation and resilience following the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. All in all, LaRosa chronicled six locations, all of which faced different challenges to bringing clean energy to their region. Whether these challenges were bureaucratic, technological, or financial, each group remained committed to their ultimate goal.

男女操逼视频软件淚 think everybody started with a sense of their own ability to make some change happen,男女操逼视频软件 said LaRosa. 男女操逼视频软件淓very person in all those different cases or situations felt like they were able男女操逼视频软件攁nd to me that男女操逼视频软件檚 what distinguishes them from people who say, 男女操逼视频软件榶ea, climate change is terrible, we should get off fossil fuels, but we don男女操逼视频软件檛 know how.男女操逼视频软件 That was really the genesis of the film title, How to Power a City.男女操逼视频软件
LaRosa was recently named a 2022 Public Voices Fellow on the Climate Crisis. Awarded through the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, the Fellowship recognizes individuals who have demonstrated 男女操逼视频软件渉igh-powered thought leadership in a variety of ways, including education, community organizing, public advocacy, and writing.男女操逼视频软件 LaRosa, along with 19 other individuals are helping to bring new voices to this ever-important conversation.
男女操逼视频软件淲e男女操逼视频软件檙e a cohort of 20 people working on climate change. Some people are doctors, activists, or work in media. The idea is to bring new voices to discussions and public conversations about climate change. And to show unique perspectives. For me, the fellowship is a way to keep sharing what I saw on that journey without trying to bring it to the public as a lecture.男女操逼视频软件
After several years of filming, unintended delays caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a few short-film detours telling stories of individual projects (one of which, Solar Libre: Family Affair, won the Best Short Documentary Award at the Rinc贸n International Film Festival in Puerto Rico), the feature film, How to Power a City, is nearly ready to be broadcast to the world.
LaRosa is excited to share the stories of resilient individuals, as well as their actionable solutions to the ever-complex problems posed by energy consumption. Her solutions-based journalism approach男女操逼视频软件攁 style of journalism that supports social change男女操逼视频软件攊s intended to be empowering and energizing to the audience; perhaps motivating viewers to join community solar initiatives, or simply believe that their actions can in fact make a positive impact.
男女操逼视频软件淲hen it comes to bringing clean energy to where they live, a lot of people feel like maybe they don男女操逼视频软件檛 know how. These people we featured not only knew how, but they went there. Just the ability to believe in their own efficacy. That they could change something.男女操逼视频软件
