Join the Movement! Come see the award winning movie “Bag It” and learn about plastic pollution and your part in stopping it.
The new Josh Fox film, How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change, was moving and powerful. It was a full house and we met many new friends, Matt Kearns engaged with a powerful talk with fantastic audience participation!
Check out the tweet from LIPC, which got some major love and some famous retweeters as well!
Yesterday we had fun with the kids and parents at The Neighborhood School in the East Village, and we empowered them to remind Mayor DeBlasio that off shore wind is there and ready to cover all his needs for his own renewable energy commitments for NYC to become 100% renewable-powered.
dozens of these postcards went out to the mayor to remind him.
We are so excited to invite you to the Long Island Premiere of How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change, from Oscar Nominated director Josh Fox (GASLAND)..
We will be promoting and joining the event and follow the movie with a discussion from All Our Energy’s own Off Shore Wind Team Leader Matthew Kearns!

Josh Fox continues in his deeply personal style, investigating climate change – the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on 6 continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away? www.howtoletgomovie.com/
We hope you’ll join us for this event! Come and bring YOUR answer what YOU’RE fighting for that climate can’t change!
Right now, our off shore wind public unity and education campaign is about to launch our second phase.
We will be sponsoring events and actions across Long Island, empowering people to become advocates for environmentally and fiscally responsible development of this incredible and readily available resource. We need your help and involvement to get the word out, to push our officials and our utility to adopt this, Let’s educate our friends, neighbors, children, parents and especially decision-makers, so we can move away from the dirty fossil fuels we use now, and into a comparatively impact-free way we can generate our electricity: from off shore wind.
Join our volunteer team kickoff meeting. We want your energy, ideas, and action to make this a success for all involved.
Thank you for being a part of it!
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced the official start of the process to create the wind farm area 11 miles south of our shores at Long Beach

All Our Energy will be advocating 100% FOR IT and advocating it be done to the highest environmental, wildlife, and shared-use standards possible for best outcomes. As residents of a 100 mile long island that is very vulnerable to climate impacts, we cannot afford to stay on the fossil fuels driving that climate change. The impacts of off shore wind would be minute, compared to more or continued dirty energy use.
If you have any questions about it, please contact us and we will address your concerns or find out the answers you seek.
Long Island is at a crossroads. We need more power to run our homes, especially on the South Fork.
A developer is ready to supply this energy, from an off shore wind farm, promised at the same or lower cost than a new fossil fuel power plant, with battery storage to cover the estimated few dozen hours annually the wind isn’t blowing, and they take all the risk, supplying electricity at a fixed rate for a certain period of time.
In opposition to that, another developer wants to put one or two fossil fuel powered plants into the area. this will probably require new gas pipelines and other dangerous infrastructure through Long Island neighborhoods to feed it.
The choice couldn’t be clearer. why would we go back to the past when we can move on to a clean energy future and start the renewable energy revolution right here on Long Island- a revolution that comes with up to 40,000 jobs?
Join our meeting tonight to educate and support YOU to speak at LIPA’s March 21 board meeting for off shore wind! This will likely be the last chance before they announce their decision. Let’s be heard and help them make the right choice!
We had a fantastic time and an enlightening conversation followed on from our screening of “Bag It” last Friday.
