So Al Gore thinks he came up with some new news that we didn't already know about....Global Warming? Ok, so he made it into a documentary and his PR folks figured, well people will listen to you, you were the Vice President/Presidential Candidate for god sakes!
Every corner you turn lately you will hear about global warming. You have Oprah, Martha Stewart, Diane Sawyer and many others talking about it, and also publishing it in their magazines.
But the big one to blow "An Inconvenient Truth" out of the water is "Plant Earth". If you are really looking to watch something that gives you the "truth" about global warming, this is the show. And as a television producer, it makes me speechless!
Yet I didn't sit down to write about that, what I had on my mind is this......how effective is this on our younger population? I ask because I was in the grocery store yesterday and as I always do, I ask for some paper bags instead of all plastic (I am trying to do my part) and the young bagger hands me some folded up, not even opened, brown bags. We make eye contact and I say , "the groceries can go into the bags"....he ever so calmly says to me, "that's to much work".
At this point I look at him and before I started talking like an 80 year old giving the whole speech about walking to school in my bare feet in the middle of winter story, I stopped and shook my head in astonishment. I hope that MTV jumps on the whole "Global Warming" band wagon because there is a whole new generation out there that needs to be aware of what is happening around them.
