An Inconvienient Truth............ if it is so important that we all see this film for awareness, why should we pay to see it?

[totaleclipse]

Just a thought, why cant they show it repeatedly on T.V surely saving the planet is more important than money.

just me then?

because I like Coronation Street and Dancing on Ice

Hi totaleclipse

They are showing 'The Day After' tomorrow evening on Channel 4, which should spark off some interesting debates . . . !

Not sure that Al Gore will persuade everyone that he is right. After all, David Attenborough was on recently saying much the same thing, and popular as he is, I think it will take a lot more to persuade some people to change. Al Gore's not everyone's cup of tea, though I think that it is great that it is being given to all schools, as the kids will have chance to debate it, and talk about it.

And I do hear a lot more adults now making choices which are about protecting our planet in their everyday lives. I was talking to someone yesterday who has decided that her family will only fly for special occasions now, and organise their holidays in other ways, and know of two friends who have got rid of their tumble driers recently too . . . .

Yes its good lots of people are making changes, I just think it would be better to show this film on t.v, perhaps it would be taken more seriously too if money id not being made from sales and cinema screenings, after all its headline stuff and we dont pay to watch the news.

NB, I prefer Eastenders and X Factor myself.

got rid of her tumble drier?

Yep, NB. Replaced it with two large drying framethingies from Argos, which fold flat, but open out to take loads and loads of washing on them. She stands them infront of her radiators, turning then round half way through the day, so that the other side gets dry.

She figured that it is a pain, but less of a pain than widespread flooding, deaths through heatstroke and all of the other extremes predicted unless we find new/imaginative ways of doing things.

very admirable but it will take more than that and a consensus from everyone.

Does she clean her carpets with tealeaves and a broom?

I have no tumbler dryer, have just used dryers for the last 4-5 years and change at elast one bed a day too. Why is it so strange if people don't have a t/d?

not strange at all nikkie but if you do have one and then you get rid..........

I did used to have one, then we knocked the garage down and that was where it lived.
