An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth was interesting all the way through. The film presented a lot of astonishing facts. Since the film was made in 2006-7 I know a lot has changed. At the ending of the film, in it's credits, it suggested various ways that we could help save the environment. It suggested we ride bicycles if we are traveling short distances, we should recycle, we should use renewable energy sources. I would like an updated film to see how much has changed. This film reminded me of a community-based program that I am involved in. The program is called Communities for a Better Environment and one of our main focus is to fight for environmental justice. I have actually witnessed how much global warming has affected the earth. I had a trip, with CBE folks, to Mono Lake. I went during the winter. The mountains were not covered with snow. I saw how much the lakes had dried up. One lake was completely dried up, and it was alarming.
