Central north america incinerates 35 million tons of plastic every year. Recycled food containers using standard metric sizes would change the scene immediately. Al gore's proposals will be debated for twenty yeas. No politician on planet earth is proposing standard recycled containers, the reasons are to sad to discuss. Unite people. The planet needs us. It's the little things that can be done fast that will do the trick. Mathew Scott Fitsgarrett Al Gore is okay,

At the end of the day Al Gore has been doing what he can for the environmental movement. Have you even seen the film!? If you have been working on something for 30 years and after that time people finally say "oh, you've you got a point". That seems to make him a self publicist!?? "preaching only to the already converted" Oh please!! Do you know how many people watch the Oscar's? Around 700 million. The notion that all the Oscar watching public are already 'converted' is ludicrous. The fact that evangelicals wouldn't even see the film demonstrates the negative impact of their beliefs. They are not even willing to listen to what somebody has to say. If you have been working in this field a while. No doubt you have reason to be syndical.. but you also have to make sure you appreciate a good thing when you see it. An Inconvenient Truth, is a valuable film. What other popular environmental films are their? Did it increase awareness? Did it make people talk? Did it help make people care? The Stern Review is valuable which Al Gore was a part of. Richard Branson's decision to invest $3bn in sustainable transport, Al Gore was part of... Come on!!! He is a good guy! Appreciate something.

This item indicates just how successful they have been.

Al Gore's solution to our environmental crisis is to keep on shopping (the old stand-by American Way), just shopping for different things. A true solution would be to completely rethink the way we participate in the cycle of nature that we are an intrinsic part of. I reviewed "An Inconvenient Truth" on my blog ( http://ourpueblo.blogspot.com/2006/07/inconvenient-truth-needs-inconvenient.html ) in case you're interested. Well said!
