this weekend we were on a tear with green, saving the world documentaries. first up, sharkwater -- a very passionate film that sheds light on the myths about sharks. you can really tell it was a film made from the heart. they are beautiful creatures and after watching this film, i will never even wonder what shark fin soup tastes like. how cruel! we also watched the 11th hour leonardo dicaprio's inconvenient truth. it was also informed, fiery and alarming. made me think we should start putting reflective devices on every roof top to offset the reflection that is shrinking in the arctic. might help with global cooling. see the official site here. then it was TVO for some discussion on the Dalai Lama, Tibet and China and then a snipet of sarah harmer and her crusade to save the Niagara Escarpment. ok, so i guess the TVO piece wasn't exactly green but it made me ponder. the Dalai Lama is inspiring but also strategic.
any who, the birds are chirping, there is sun trickling in my window and the day is about to begin. happy sunday everyone!

really want to see 11th hour- as depressing as it might be.
happy Sunday to you too
spring at last!
there was a final segment that i missed and just watched that had some uplifting and practical solutions, so i take it back. it does inspire change and offer ways to do it. the only trouble is that the oil industry doesn't want us to change until we've run out of their pot of gold completely. otherwise it's like leaving money on the table. i think films like this will help turn the tide and uncover their motivations for what they are - based on greed at all costs.
