"YERT is a hilarious, powerful and often poignant chronicle of the year-long journey of three filmmakers, engineers and acclaimed Off Broadway performers ... to explore breakthrough approaches, from the bizarre to the mind-blowing, for environmental sustainability in all 50 states." Jeff Biggers, Huffington Post.

Praise for previous Hard Rain exhibition: “Most important … is the sheer brilliance of the dialogue Edwards has created between the words and images” Fintan O’Toole, Irish Times.

Private-view of Hard Rain: What Scotland is Doing exhibition followed by a cycle-powered premiere screening of YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip.

YERT: Your Environmental Road Trip.  50 States.  1 Year.  Zero Garbage?  Called to action by a planet in peril, three friends hit the road - traveling with hope, humour, and all of their garbage - to explore every state in America (the good, the bad...and the weird) in search of the extraordinary innovators and citizens who are tackling humanity's greatest environmental crises.

Please arrive promptly at 6.30pm at the John Hope Gateway entrance. Dress warmly.

Presented by Take One Action, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, and the Woodcraft Folk.
