We finally sat down and watched Davis Guggenheim's An Inconvenient Truth last weekend. And, when the film was over, we visited climatecrisis.net and found a wealth of ways to Reduce Your Impact at Home.

We're talking easy things, like unplugging electronics when they're not in use, running your dishwasher only when it's fully loaded, and avoiding heavily packaged products.
Take a look: and while you're there check out the Carbon Impact Calculator.

Interesting that you have to buy the DVD, adding to CO2 and the landfill, instead of being able to download it or view via video stream.
As it stands now, only those already convinced by the argument (and a few teachers) will buy the dvd. I doubt very few others would be willing to pony up $20 to see such a film.
If this is truly an important movie as Gore And Davis think it is, wouldn't it be better to maximize distribution and make it freely available? Gore should use his connections at Apple and have it posted on iTunes as a free download?
Perhaps at the end the day, the real inconvenient truth is that Davis and Gore are more concerned with making money than doing good.
I'm buying the dvd because many of my friends and family won't buy it, but they'd happily borrow mine just to see what the fuss is about. So there you go, it's the 2nd part of the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra.
I was offered a downloaded version before the movie was released in cinemas here in Australia, so Phaedrus you should be able to find one if you really want to see it but are too cheap to pay for it.
Anyway, a lot of people are on the fence and open to a well-presented argument went to see it at the cinema, why wouldn't that apply to dvd as well?
We've just been renting the film from Netflix and then sending it to family members who can then drop it in their mailboxes when thry are through, thus ending the "one more dvd in the landfill" problem.
