An Inconvenient Cry

February 11, 2007

I’ve just got around to watching the movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’.

It made me cry my eyes out. I’m still crying now, it’s had a profound effect on me.

Why am I upset? I suppose it’s a combination of factors: despair, frustration, sadness, but mostly, I think shame. I’m ashamed at what we’ve done to the world, and I’m absolutely shocked to realise just how close we are to the end of our civilisation.

I really really hope that I have the strength to put into place some changes to my life to try and make a difference. The way I feel right now I want to drop everything and spend the rest of my life trying to put it right.. ..but what the hell can I actually do?

Here are some starters:
