SUMMARY:The White House Effect Documentary
DESCRIPTION:The Newburyport Documentary Film Festival and the Greater Newburyport Green Expo proudly present: \n“The White House Effect” Documentary\n$10 / Suggested Donation \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \nA Pivotal Moment in Climate History Revealed\nCap off your Green Expo experience with an exclusive evening screening of the powerful documentary “The White House Effect\,” directed by the acclaimed team of Bonni Cohen\, Pedro Kos\, and Jon Shenk. \n  \nFilm Synopsis\n“The White House Effect\,” from directors Bonni Cohen\, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk\, examines a crucial missed opportunity in climate history. Through archival footage\, the film focuses on the George H.W. Bush administration (1988-1992) when Bush promised to use “the White House effect” to address global warming. \nThe documentary reveals how this promise unraveled as Bush found himself caught between his chief of staff John Sununu and industry leaders on one side\, and his EPA chief Bill Reilly and scientists on the other. The film culminates with the 1992 Rio Earth Summit\, where U.S. actions undermined global emissions agreements\, setting the stage for our current climate challenges. \n  \nWhy This Film Matters to Our Community\nAs we gather for the Green Expo to explore practical sustainability solutions\, this documentary provides crucial historical context for understanding why climate action remains challenging today. By examining this pivotal moment in climate history\, we can better appreciate the forces that shape environmental policy and the importance of community-led initiatives like the Green Expo. \n  \nNote: This is a separate ticketed event from the daytime Green Expo activities. \n  \nThis screening is presented in conjunction with the 2025 Greater Newburyport Green Expo\, made possible through funding from the City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee\, via a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Program.

SUMMARY:Darlin' Corey with Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents… \nDarlin’ Corey with Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem\n$25 / All Tickets \nPurchase Tickets\n\nDarlin’ Corey\nDarlin’ Corey features the singing and playing of three accomplished musicians of the thriving music scene of Portland\, ME. Award winning fiddler and singer Erica Brown on fiddle\, guitar\, vocals\, notable songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Shipman on guitar\, vocals\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, banjo and Portland’s favorite bass player Kris Day\, who has also toured with legends like Link Wray\, Dale Hawkins\, Ronnie Dawson and Joe Clay. \nTheir music is a diverse and unique blend of folk with influences from bluegrass and old time music. Drawing on these threads of North American folk music\, their elegant harmonies are the beating heart of their sound\, in both their original music and the traditional old time\, bluegrass and New England influenced music they regularly showcase. In Darlin’ Corey’s singing and playing\, you can feel the many years of dedication to these celebrated musical traditions.  \nTogether they create an engaging performance of thoughtful originals\, traditional songs and tunes\, and songs that influenced them along the way. Erica Brown’s fiddle-playing is at turns virtuosic and completely unpretentious. Matt Shipman is an ideal counterpart as his versatility on a dizzying array of stringed instruments (guitar\, Irish bouzouki\, 5-string banjo\, mandolin) blend seamlessly\, never timid or overpowering. Kris Day holds it all together with his solid bass playing. \n \nRani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem\nHarmony\, rhythm\, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem\, the New England based folk quartet now in its 20th year. From the Newport Folk Festival to California World Music Festival and beyond\, this band’s steadfast brew of wit\, camaraderie\, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful\, spirits renewed. Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem are Rani Arbo (fiddle\, guitar)\, Andrew Kinsey (bass\, banjo\, ukulele)\, Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). At the helm\, Arbo is “blessed with an unmistakable voice\, both light and sultry\, with a hint of tremolo and smoke” (Acoustic Guitar). With Kinsey and Nayak’s vibrant baritones and Kessel’s resonant bass\, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Arbo’s fiddle is sweet and sinewy\, while Nayak’s guitar stretches across genre lines. Kinsey’s old-time bass anchors the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit — a truly funky collection of cardboard boxes\, tin cans\, caulk tubes\, packing-tape tambourines\, bottle-cap rattles\, Mongolian jaw harps\, and a vinyl suitcase.  \n \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Homegrown National Park with Dr. Douglas W. Tallamy
DESCRIPTION:City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee presents… \nHomegrown National Park\nwith Dr. Douglas W. Tallamy\nPurchase Tickets\n\nA reception will be held prior to the talk\, with a book signing to follow. \nDoors open at 6:30PM\nThe talk will begin at 7:00 PM\nFree to the Public / Open Seating \n  \nAbout the Talk\nDr. Tallamy will introduce his visionary concept of “Homegrown National Park\,” a national movement to restore biodiversity by transforming our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands. He explains why our current parks and preserves alone cannot sustain the ecosystems on which we depend. His practical approach invites everyone to participate in conservation by reducing lawn space\, planting native species\, and removing invasives. Dr. Tallamy’s goal is to restore 20 million acres with native plants—equivalent to half of America’s current lawn space—to create healthy ecological networks that can withstand environmental challenges. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Douglas W. Tallamy is a distinguished professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. A leading voice in conservation and sustainable gardening\, he is the author of several acclaimed books including the New York Times bestsellers “Bringing Nature Home\,” “The Living Landscape\,” and “Nature’s Best Hope.” Dr. Tallamy founded the Homegrown National Park initiative to promote native plant propagation and biodiversity restoration. His research demonstrates how native plants support local wildlife—his own backyard oak tree hosts over 240 species of caterpillars. Dr. Tallamy combines scientific expertise with engaging\, accessible presentations that inspire audiences to take practical action for environmental conservation. \n  \n  \n  \nHomegrown National Park \n  \nThis screening is made possible through funding from the City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee\, via a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Program.
