You owe it to yourself... and all who come after you

Brenda and I just got back from seeing An Inconvenient Truth. It was playing in only one theater in Fort Wayne and does not look to be there very long. We do not usually go to the movie theater unless it is the dollar movies and we certainly will not spend the $15 it costs for us both to see a movie. We usually wait until it comes out on DVD and then get them at the library where they are free. Anyhow, this was the one movie that I convinced Brenda that we had to see.

My attempt to put into words what this movie did for me will be severely understated, so I will use a quote from Roger Ebert and his review of the film:

In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.

All that I can do is get the word out! You can visit the website and see more for yourself. I strongly urge you to check out when the movie is playing near you since it is only in limited release. You may want to check online or call the theater that is showing the film to ask how long it will be there. In general I think most theaters are showing it 2-3 weeks at a time so be sure to check.

In the meantime here are 30 ways that we can reduce and even stop global warming. Be concerned this is a moral, ethical and spiritual issue. I'll post more reflections later as I sift through the vast amounts of data presented in the film.
