Climate Change
Al Gore is making headlines today by winning the Nobel Peace Prize. What an amazing story for a man who lost the presidency to Bush by 500 votes. It is encouraging to know the truth behind the teaching "the last become first, and the first become last."
But what I'd really like know is- so what have YOU done since seeing last year's An Inconvenient Truth? Most likely, you're one of the many who simply reverted back to a lifestyle of consumption. Documentaries, profound as they may be, tend to fail as agents for social change simply because the movie medium is overwhelming fiction. Authentic moral messages and entertainment become indecipherable. It woud be interesting to know your thoughts on this..
