Inconvenient Truth

I finally saw this documentary last night and I was very impressed.

I have read various criticisms of this documentary for months. The big themes seem to be that Gore is mistaking a natural climate cycle for a crisis and that not all experts agree that there is a global climate change problem.

I don’t think the people who made these criticisms saw the documentary as all of these issues are addressed in the documentary and addressed very well.

The documentary is packed solid with hard facts yet, is easy to listen to and easy to understand.

It is not a doom-n-gloom film. When the documentary ends you will feel hopeful for the future, compelled to do something, and you will feel that you can do something. You will not feel overwhelmed.

I can’t say this enough. See this documentary if you can:

Why vegans quit

Last summer when I was at Summerfest I heard a fascinating talk by Rae Sikora who spoke on why people quite being vegan ( or vegetarian ). Obviously, this is great to know, because if you know about these reasons you can do something about them:

  1. Lack of easy access to vegan foods
  2. Lack of a community of like minded people
  3. Losing touch with animal suffering

Wonderfully, the good people at Animal Voices Radio

interviewed Rae Sikora and made recordings you can listen to at
