Celebrate Earth Day – Watch “They Say It Can’t Be Done”

By: Rhachel Toombs

Happy Earth Day! We feel fortunate to live in a day and age where innovation and courageous entrepreneurship solve so many problems. We know when it comes to climate change and being good stewards of Earth, private solutions and active, informed citizens are the best way to combat the growing environmental issues we face. This is a message that everyone who cares about protecting our planet should hear.

The Community Circle program is an offering exclusively for the new AF Membership. These small group discussions bring thoughtful people to the table (or living room) to discuss an issue or topic – usually over dinner or bottle of your drink of choice. This month, we’re happy to give our entire AF community an opportunity to host a circle in honor of Earth Day.

This month’s circle features the new documentary, They Say It Can’t Be Done, which explores how innovation can solve some of the world’s largest problems – including healing the seas and reducing atmospheric carbon.

To get started, simply download this month’s Community Circle guide, invite 2-10 friends, watch the film, and get conversing! The guide includes everything you need, including links to watch the film and discussion questions.

Join us in celebrating Earth Day this weekend and host a Community Circle! Post pictures of your Community Circle gathering on FB or Insta with the hashtag #AFempowers to enter a drawing for one of three $30 Amazon gift cards!
