Nat has been studying Climate Change at school and his whole class watched the movie documentary "An Inconvienient Truth." Since seeing the movie Nat has been really interested in everything to do with this issue and has talked about it a lot at home and has been ecouraging us to make changes to reduce our carbon emissions; he is very keen on starting up a vegetable garden to grow tomatoes and carrots, so we are trying to decide on the right place to put it at the moment! He also wants a worm farm!!! He had to write a review about the film so I thought it would make a good post as he has been so passionate about what he has been learning at school!



AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH


This movie informed me about the changes happening to our world from climate change, it has inspired me to take on the challenge that is ahead of the whole human race to reduce the affects of carbon immessions and the affect everyone has on our Planet.

The movie is presented by Al Gore and directed by David Guggenheim. Al Gore plays a leading roll in the battle we are fighting for the Earths survival, he shows us all how to make a change city by city and how we can make a difference to our world.
This movie makes you think about what will happen to our world if we do not do something now about climate change. Al Gore explained that the population of our planet has risen by 7 billion in the past 500 years, this has had a big affect on the resources we have to use to feed cloth and house so many people.

I think that if Al Gore’s campaign for the United States Presidency had been a success we probably wouldn’t be facing the problems we are facing today.I think that there are many ways that we can help the planet, here are some of the ways we can keep our planet to become sustainable:

1) Solar panels which generate electricity by using the sun’s rays using sunlight to heat water up in a tank.
2) Use energy saving light bulbs.
3) Washing clothes at 30 degrees.
4) Don't leave your electronics on standby overnight, they use just as much power as they do
when they are fully on!
5) And if you can, travel by public transport, ride a bike or walk to school.

Most countries in the world have now signed the Kyoto protocall, and this film and Al Gore’s methods to stop climate change have inspired me to tell everyone in the world about the changes that need to be made.

This means throwing away some of our life time luxuries, it’s going to be hard for everyone but we can do it if we all try.All in all this movie has shown me about the ways that we can make changes, we all need to play a part in the Earth’s race against time. Al Gore will definitely be a positive influence to help our quest to make the earth sustainable and a place for us all to live for all generation that will be here after us.

I will give this movie 4 out five stars ****


I am very proud of my little brother!!

Thats all from us for now, don't forget if you want something put up on here like Nat, email me and I will post it on for you.
Lots of love Katiexxxx
