Everyone is invited to go to Colgate’s live webcast channel — www.livestream.com/colgateuniversity — to pose questions and interact with other participants during the free webcast.

Paine, writer and director of the documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car?, will be joined by geology professor Bruce Selleck ’71 and sustainability coordinator John Pumilio, both from Colgate, and Ron Alexander of Morrisville College.

They will discuss alternative transportation options before Paine screens his documentary. Timothy Mansfield, director of Alumni Affairs, will moderate the panel discussion, which is sponsored by the Sigma Chi Alumni Corporation.

The discussion is one of several events with a green theme held this week.

A Green Careers Forum is scheduled for Wednesday, and the 9th annual Green Summit is this Friday. A multimedia exhibition created by students in the Environmental Justice course will be on display from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday in the Ho Science Center Atrium.
