An Inconvenient Truth


"By far the most terrifying film you will ever see"

I watched this movie a few months back in Mumbai (Bombay). It came & it went and hardly got noticed by many. It was not even released in most of the tier 2 cities and below. In this world of mass media, awareness, education it's really sad to see people ignore these meaningful, eye opening movies and go about their daily lives using and wasting as many resources as they possibly can. There surely has to be an end to human greediness, or there might be sooner an end to this "beautiful" world we've created for ourselves.

I urge you all to go and watch this movie, to ruffle a feather in our calm demeanor as to what possibly we are heading towards in terms of climatic changes, disasters, mass extinctions. Time has come not to propagate about global warming, not to write, read about environmental issues BUT TO TAKE SOME ACTION.

I promise this new feature of 'earthcare' that i have started today will feature a lot more, will focus on steps we can take in our own ways to help. We don't live in a particular country, state, city, area and street, but on this planet. And if we don't realise that my friends, IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.

So for starters, at least go & watch the movie. While you are reading this, you may also want to surf through its website, http://www.aninconvenienttruth.co.uk/

PS: I feel it should be a 'must watch' for all. Schools and colleges can have special screenings organized for their students.

You are so right, its now time to take some action.
It can be done at all levels, right from the school students, college going teen agers, small store keepers, hawkers, housewives,buisness persons or professionals.

It is not going to be governing body's function, as they are easily bought and sold.

Its our ( citizens of the world) responsibility.
Atleast we should make one attempt everyday to prevent pollution and preserve environment.
