A Global Warning

An Inconvenient Truth proves that everyone of us has the power to help stop global warming.

The average American generates about 15,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year from personal transportation, home energy use, from products and services we consume, including the food they eat.

Since the film was released, studies have proven that global warming is affecting our daily lives—including our food supply, public health, economic stability and the need for green jobs.

Changes in our everyday lives can help reduce our carbon footprint. The film has galvanized millions of people worldwide to make changes in their lives and has made the issue a priority in international politics.
