Producer/Director of YERT: 
 
 Your Environmental Road Trip  
 
 
What can you do over the course of a year?  Watch 1825 hours of TV...or take an 
environmental road trip across America in search of the extraordinary innovators 
tackling humanity's greatest crises.
   
 
Intrigued? Mark Dixon, documentary filmmaker of YERT: Your Environmental Road 
Trip, will be on hand at Elemental Coffee to discuss the making of the film 
(co-created with Ben Evans), which won the Audience Award at the Yale 
Environmental Film Festival and is now showing at Oklahoma City's deadCENTER 
film festival.
 
 
What:     Meet & Greet with Mark Dixon
 Where:   Elemental Coffee, 815 N. Hudson  
When:    Friday, June 10th 4 - 6 p.m.  
 
The Meet & Greet is free and sponsored by Transition OKC, a program of 
Sustainable OKC. Coffee and snacks will be available to purchase from Elemental 
Coffee.

**The first ten people at the Meet & Greet will win a free YERT Chico bag!  Two 
lucky people will also win the Better World Shopping Guide, by Ellis Jones, from 
a drawing. 
   YERT @ deadCENTER 
  
50 states. 1 year. Zero garbage? Called to action by a planet in peril, three 
friends hit the road to explore every state in America and find citizens 
experimenting, educating and creating environmental change (the good, the 
bad...and the weird).  

  
  
As the YERT team of Mark Dixon, Ben Evans, and Julie Dingman Evans layers 
outlandish eco-challenges onto their quest, an unexpected turn of events pushes 
them to the brink in this award-winning docu-comedy. Featuring Bill McKibben, 
Will Allen, Joel Salatin, David Orr, and others.  Winner of the Audience Award 
at the Environmental Film Festival at Yale, deadCENTER is the second festival 
to screen the film.
 
 
YERT screenings at deadCENTER are $10 or free with an all-access pass.  Mark 
Dixon will be on hand at both screenings for questions and, hopefully, answers.
