Yesterday Jamie and I went to the 5th Ave. to see The 11th Hour - the environmental documentary produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. It was great - highly recommend it! Not only does it feature a panel of independent scientists and experts discussing the facts about the issue, but it goes on to link our consumption-based consumerist society and the corporation structure to connect the dots between the five w's. The film ends with positive messages about what is being done already and what individuals can do. Click the link to see the trailer. Am continuing on my winning streak of booing the PUSA every time his ugly mug goes up on a movie screen, by the way! Even if I'm the only one, I enjoy it! And on a personal note - WALK to the movie theatre or carpool and make it a double-date night! We walked from our place downtown like usual, and it was nice to know that we didn't expel any poisons in order to go to see an environmental film!On a local note, those in Vancouver should check out Granville, the new city magazine from Canadawide, the publishers of BC Business. A friend of mine is the sales manager, and she hooked me up with the premier issue recently. It's great - all about sustainability in our local community. You can get a free subscription, but if you're close by me, just ask for my copy and circulate. Better to share than all of us ordering individual copies! Even though it's focused on Vancouver, it's got a lot of great info that would be good for everyone!

What a scary movie, the extinction of the human race seems almost surreal but is becoming more real everyday.
