SUMMARY:Idle Threat: Man on Emission
DESCRIPTION:Idling engines consume more than 6 billion gallons of gasoline 
 annually in the U.S.\, a significant but little-known contributor to local
  air pollution\, respiratory disease and global climate change.\n\n"Idle T
 hreat" is a lively look at one man’s spirited struggle to improve publi
 c health by raising awareness about idling’s impact\, starting in New Yo
 rk City. Against all odds\, he succeeds\, helping improve local air qualit
 y\, and in the process gains world-wide recognition for the anti-idling ca
 use\, with articles featured in the Wall Street Journal\, New Yorker ma
 gazine\, and the Financial Times.\n\nIn white shirt and tie\, Wall Street
  banker George Pakenham has walked the streets of New York for over five y
 ears\, courteously confronting over 3\,000 motorists to explain idling’s
  impact and the law prohibiting running a parked vehicle for more than a s
 hort time. Responses vary from thanks to anger\, but Pakenham never wavers
 . He’s determined that the problems idling poses be recognized\, and lob
 bies successfully for the city to enforce its idling laws.\n\nFeaturing Cl
 ick and Clack from NPR’s Car Talk\, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg\, "Idle 
 Threat" profiles one man’s challenging quest to make his city and the wo
 rld a healthier place\, and shows that sometimes one person – and a simp
 le act like turning a key – can make a big difference.\nWhen: Tuesday\,
  January 26th\n5:45 pm Screening\n7:00 pm Discussion\nVENUE: Virtual (via
  Zoom) \nCost: Screenings are free\; We gratefully accept donations to h
