An Inconvenient Truth
To start off, this isn't an advertising or spamming email. I wrote this out the top of my head. So please take the time to read this, you will do me a favor by just reading this and sending me some feedback. It may perhaps, open your eyes and realize about how your lifestyle is and how it affects others.
Today at school, as most of you know I attend Aveda Institute, we had the privilege to watch a documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth, starring Al Gore.This documentary has truly open my eyes, and made me realize how much I am affecting others and how they live. This isn't a political nore has anything to do with politics. And I am sure that you will not consider this "brainwashing" because it affects your life, believe it or not. Now the following was taken from their site (http://www.climatecrisis.net/) - I strongly recommend you to rent it and watch the whole thing, even if you aren't into politics or Al Gore. I wasn't either but I am now grateful to have witnessed this man's point:
The documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late.
With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America just behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point - and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is the story of Gore's personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective, to the man who almost became President but instead returned to the most important cause of his life - convinced that there is still time to make a difference.
Please, watch this and send me some feedback, I would really like to know what your thoughts are about this film. Pass it around, let everyone know about it.
Thank you,
Claudia

I will certainly try to see it, and comment once I have.
I watched the trailer from the link you posted, and it does look like a "must watch" movie.

Wow. I watched the trailer, and I'll definitely be looking for that movie. That's scary, and that we brought it on ourselves is scarier.
