Presented by Bloomsburg University’s Green Campus Initiative, free and open to all, 7 p.m. in the Exchange Ballroom on Tuesday, the 23rd of April — one day after Earth Day 2013 (and the 449th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, as it happens).

“Earth Days” combines personal testimony and archival media while reviewing the development of the modern environmental movement—from the post-war 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s bestseller “Silent Spring” to the first successful 1970 Earth Day celebration. The stories of the era’s pioneers feature the former United States Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; biologist/”The Population Bomb” author Paul Ehrlich; “Whole Earth Catalog” founder Stewart Brand; Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart; Dennis Meadows, “The Forecaster” scientist and Emeritus Professor of Systems Management; and Pete McCloskey, “The Politician”, formerly Republican. Also included are Richard Nixon, Governor of California Jerry Brown, Jimmy Carter, Denis Hayes, Jacques-Yves Cousteau; and Hunter Lovins.

“Earth Days” served as the closing night film of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and won the Sheffield Green Award, 2009 Sheffield Doc/Fest.

Questions will be presented to each participating candidate with a fixed length of time for responses. A limited number of questions will be accepted from the audience in written form. Questions of a personal nature will not be presented. The moderator of the event will be Fred Gaffney, President of the Chamber of Commerce.

A series of related programs will take place throughout the duration of the exhibition. All events are free and open to the public, and except as noted take place in the Moose Exchange Ballroom.

More about the Marcellus Shale Documentary Project: “For the best part of a year, the photographers traveled across the Commonwealth, meeting people, listening to and recording stories, and documenting images from across the region. The exhibition represents each photographer’s aesthetic, each having chosen a different angle from which to view the subject. Together, they offer a compelling narrative that represents, they believe, an honest appraisal of how the arrival of Marcellus Shale drilling has affected communities around the Commonwealth. The validity of this work is established not by the credentials of the photographers: the fact that their work has been featured in publications such as National Geographic, LIFE, or The New York Times; or that two of them have won the Pulitzer Prize, one has been included in the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial; or that one has a doctorate degree. Instead, it is the level of intellect, sensitivity, and skill with which they approach their work.”
