An Inconvenient Truth

We haven’t been to the movies all that much lately, so when we go we often go see the latest blockbuster action movie. One movie that slipped by us over the past year was Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. It finally made it to the top of our Netflix queue and I got the chance to see it this past weekend. I have to say that it wasn’t at all what I expected. I thought that it would be a documentary; like one that you might find showing on PBS or the Discovery Channel. It’s pretty much Al Gore’s slide show presentation delivered directly to you, and it’s a powerful reminder about how we are destroying the very planet we live on.

We’ve tried to live green. We have replaced the majority of our light bulbs and appliances with energy efficient ones, our cars are low emission and fuel efficient, and we recycle. I’m not going to write here about how you should live your life, but you owe it to yourself to watch the movie and find out how you can help preserve what we have for future generations.
