If you haven’t seen An Inconvenient Truth, you should. If you don’t want to see An Inconvenient Truth, at least read this:
“You can reduce your carbon emissions. In fact, you can reduce your carbon emissions to zero. Buy energy efficient appliances & light-bulbs. Change your thermostat (and use clock thermostats) to reduce energy for heating & cooling. Weatherize your house, increase insulation – get an energy audit. Recycle. If you can, buy a hybrid car. Where you can, walk or ride a bicycle. Where you can, use the light rail and mass transit. Tell your parents not to ruin the world that you will live in. If you are a parent, join with your children to save the world they will live in. Switch to renewable resources of energy. Call your power company to see if they offer green energy. If they don’t, ask them why not? Vote for leaders who pledge to solve this crisis. Write to congress. If they don’t listen, run for congress. Plant trees, lots of trees. Speak up in your community. Call radio shows & write newspapers. Insist that America freeze CO2 emissions & join international efforts to stop global warming. Reduce our dependence on foreign oil; help farmers grow alcohol fuels. Raise fuel economy standards; require lower emissions from automobiles. If you believe in prayer, pray that people will find the strength to change. In the words of the old African proverb, ‘When you pray, move your feet’. Encourage everyone you know to see this movie. Learn as much as you can about the climate crisis. Then put your knowledge into action.â€
