An Inconvenient Truth

 
An Inconvenient Truth.

It's a good movie.
 
I just watched it. And it kind of scared me. To think about what the world might be like (or worse) by the time I am forty, let alone, seventy years old... It kind of makes me sick.
 
This movie shows the real data about Global Warning. I know that here in Canada, it's not quite as bad as some other (more to the south) countries, one in particular is absolutely horrible, but I still think that everybody should be doing absolutely everything they can to reduce the problems.
 
The website is www.climatecrisis.net and has a TON of information about how you can do your part.
 
I wish this movie had been made 20 years ago. I wish Al Gore had gotten Florida instead of Bush. I wish a lot of things, and today, they are changing. My mind is changed. I've been a recycler for some time, and other than because my parent's did it and it was a learned habit, I never really knew why. I have 'suffered' through ridicule when I told people I recycle. I have been laughed at when I take cans out of the garbage. I have not cared each and evey time, and never really wondered why. It was always just who I was, and if people didn't like that, then they could leave. 
 
I am trying to think of things to do, more things to do, to help out. I want to compost rather than fill garbage dumps (apparently composting is not really recommended around Hinton, as it attracts animals... like bears and cougars, which are already a problem.). I want to share these thoughts with as many people as I possibly can, and encourage as many people I know to watch this movie. Not just because I care about the issue, but because I care about you, our futures.
 
So please rent this movie the next time you go to the movie store. Or borrow it from a friend. Or download it, I don't care. Just watch it. It won't be time wasted, and it might save our lives, our kids' lives. (especially those not yet born, or even conceived!)  

And Just so you know, I love you!
