Staying true to the Organic eating, Yoga-practicing, Boho skirt-wearing, Bonnaroo-attending, pseudo-hippie style we aim to integrate into our otherwise yuppified life in the summer, Kimmmm and I spent our rainy Sunday evening seeing An Inconvenient Truth, commonly referred to as that Al Gore Sundance film. As it turns out, not only did Al Gore invent the internet, but he is also single-handedly saving the Earth from global warming.

It was not Earth-shattering news (no pun intended) that our selfish actions today are resulting in a depleted ozone layer, and thus, global warming; however, it was interesting to see how we are already dealing with the impact of global warming: Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing. Since 1990, we have recorded the top 10 hottest years in history. There is also the devastating hurricane season the Southeast endured last year. As scientists look ahead at the rate the remaining glaciers and icecaps are melting, they predict major US shorelines to recede to the extent that San Fran and Manhattan would be under water.

In order to delay the drowning of some of our favorite vacation spots, there are a number of things we can do in our daily routine, such as unplugging appliances from outlets when they are not being used and walk, take mass transit, or drive a hybrid if you can.

Okay, I will step down from my pedestal now. Thank you for letting me preach. Check out the movie, it's worth watching. Even if you are not a fan of documentaries or Mother Earth, it is worth watching the used to be the next President of the United States speak with the uncanny resemblance of Eeyore.
