This evening I watched the movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.”
I had initially hesitated watching this movie because I was warned not to. I tend to take hold of an idea and run with it. If this movie was going to suddenly make me crazy about global warming, thinking about what kind of world my kids are going to grow up in, then by all means keep me away from it. I would obviously run out the next day and start taking measures to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Or, worse yet, I would paint a placard hang it on my body and start roaming the streets with my “End of the world is nigh” sign. However, I don’t feel the psychotic urge I was warned that would come over me. Instead there is something different.
I feel as though the best things I can do is to try to be informed. Live my life in a more reasoned manner. Think about where I can take steps to reduce my carbon dioxide footprint. I can purchase “credits” at websites like Native Energy. I can also teach my children how to live more responsibly as a human being on planet Earth.
Of all the things that really struck me from the movie was the image that was taken 4 billion miles away from Earth. The planet was but a mere pixel on the screen. A reminder of just how precious things are.
