Al Gore

Last night I co-hosted a viewing party for Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth. We had about 23 people in attendance. Most were already concerned about the issue, and a few already knew a lot about it. But the film provided much information for most of the attendees, and raised the level of concern; it galvanized folks to want to do something. Our primary hostess had a lovely home with a big room for viewing and a big-screen TV. We also had a visit from a local state representative (John Brautigam) who said a few words about environmental issues in Maine; he’s received a 100% rating on environmental issues from the Maine League of Conservation Voters.
