AL GORE IS UNSUSTAINABLE
Consider the tragic environmental cost:
I had a strange experience on Monday. I went to see Al Gore’s slide show, as he affectionately refers to An Inconvenient Truth, his exposé on global warming.
For the first time in my life, I was the only person in the cinema. I sat there for two hours, watching the advertisements, the promos and the feature itself. There was air conditioning, lighting and a projectionist, possibly, and an usher who opened the doors when the session was over, and asked me if I enjoyed the movie.
The whole event cost me $8. I thought about my personal consumption, my very personal consumption, and I thought it would have been better had the cinema posted a sign out the front saying: “This session has been cancelled due to lack of interest.”
Meanwhile, another film also addresses environmental issues. In a good way.
