| AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH |
An Inconvenient Truth
www.climatecrisis.net
An eye opening look at what is going on with global warming, very easy to watch but very hard to swallow. I highly recommend watching this DVD and taking on the responsibilities that are necessary, in my home country, where the effects are very obvious, they are trying to make it compulsory in all schools to watch this movie.
There are ways of giving and supporting but there is also simple ways of incorporating this to make a difference in your own life. (download "ten things to do" list in pdf.)
