An Inconvenient Truth

I saw the movie and was really astonished to know that we are getting late by the day. I was really inspired and this blog is one of the movie’s outcomes. But then, the movie has only given me a push. I already was against global warming.
But today, I saw the ending carefully and that it had so many suggestions. Most of them are very common and can be found everywhere. In fact, I have elaborated on those in my earlier posts. Reason being these are the simplest steps that you can take and still contribute to a major change.
So, if you haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for?

Are you ready to change the way you live?

The climate crisis can be solved.

Here's how to start

You can reduce your carbon emissions.
In fact, you can even reduce your carbon emissions to zero.

Buy energy efficient appliances + light bulbs.
Change your thermostat (and use clock thermostats) to reduce energy fro heating + cooling

Weatherize your house, increase insulation, get an energy audit
Recycle

If you can, buy a hybrid car.
When you can, walk or ride a bicycle.
Where you can, use a light rail + mass transit.

Tell your parents not to ruin the world you will live in.
If you are a parent, join with your children to save the world they will live in.

Switch to renewable sources 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 and write to newspapers.

Insist that America freeze CO2 emissions + join international efforts to stop global warming.

Reduce our dependence on foreign oil; help farmers grow alcohol fuel.

Raise fuel economy standards, require lower emissions from vehicles.

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 to see this movie.
Learn as much as you can about the climate crisis.
Then put your knowledge into action.


These are just from the movie. You can do this and more. And probably you can teach that to someone else too. The ways to help are endless...
