Global Warming with Al Gore
 
Okay, so check this out. I was invited to a presentation that Current TV Chairman, Al Gore was giving in the LA studio.  I have to admit that I had no idea what I was in for, because I thought it was a small presentation about global warming.  But after a very thorough slide show of what is going on with our planet today, I realized that I was just another person turning a “blind eye” to a HUGE problem. The only way that we are going to save ourselves from self-destructing is to take a look at  the “Inconvenient Truth”.  
 
Truth is, we need to cut down on our emissions, be more aware of our consumption levels, tell other people, and ACT. One way to start is to calculate your carbon emissions at www.climatecrisis.net
 
I used the carbon calculator and I came up with 26,000 lbs of carbon dioxide! Yikes! The avg. person emits 15,000 lbs.  I love my SUV but I’m really truly looking into hybrids.  I will just have to suck it up and use a soft rack to go surf.  Time to get a Toyota Prius. Or move out of LA.  Or be one of those crazy people that WALK down the street. Which by the way, I do try to do, or bike around Santa Monica.
 
“The Inconvenient Truth” premiered at Sundance and will be distributed in theaters around May.  Former VP Gore, or should I say, Mr. Chairman, will be promoting his documentary and speaking around the globe on this issue.
 
I’m really excited to see this documentary. First, because I love a good doc, but preserving what God gave us to enjoy and take care of is not an option, but its a responsibility.
