Having watched this film in class did you feel that your opinion to the issue of climate change could be positively influenced?

I think that Al Gore did not deserve to win the noble peice prize for his film 'An Inconveint Truth' for the reason that when i watched the film in the seminar i did not find it interesting or inspiring. I thought the film was boring because it had no other dimentions to it except for Al Gore speaking to an audience about globle warming which made me loose interest in the first ten minuets of the film. However when watching the film i did agree with some of the things that Al Gore was saying when he talked about how global warming will effect us in the future and how we need to make a change now. Even though I thought that the film was very informative I felt that the film had a one type of view on gloabal warming and that was the view of Al Gore.I got the impression that Al Gore expected everyone to think like him because his view is the only one which will help with the global warming crisis. I did not feel like my opinion on climate change has been positively infulenced because i fount it hard to keep concentrating on the film and what he was saying so i havent felt motivated to change anything yet.

Even though i did not find the film useful there is a debate on whether there is truth on what Al Gore has been saying in his film from these two links-

What actions could you (in theory) undertake that would improve the 'sustainability' of your lifestyle? What might be preventing you from doing these?

The actions i would take to improve sustainability in my lifestyle is to birng my own bags or buying "bags for life" when i am shopping at either food or clothes shop to help reduce the consumption of plastic bags because they non biodigradble. However bringing my own bags for shopping may not be possible all the time because of it being a burdon to take a massive bag around with me while shopping or bringing leftover shopping bags.

Second way to improve sustanability in my lifestyle is to be more eco friendly by walking and using a bike rather than being in a car. Even though sometimes buses can be unreliable and sometimes it difficult to ride a bike because of weather conditions such as snow and rain so it is sometimes easier to get a lift in a car. Another way to improve sustanability in my lifestyle is to recycle for the reason that it is better for the enviorment. However recycling can be time consuming when sorting through and seperating the rubbish.
