I hope you have pictured me by now.<BR/><BR/>I definitely found 'The Inconvenient Truth' inspiring for what is shown. But being an automotive enthusiast, I knew for sure that an environmentalist in his right mind would not be parading in a car such as the Mercedes S-class (if I remember right) in a movie on global warming; especially when the concerned is an American as they are generally obsessed with hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius or Honda Insight. So after a bit of googling, I found that Al Gore's house consumes 20 times the electricity consumed by the average American household ;-). See the following link or google 'Al Gore energy consumption':<BR/><BR/>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,254908,00.html<BR/><BR/>Here, his spokesperson has admitted that this is the truth, however she also adds that they are squaring off their carbon footprint with other good practices.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>RahulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750410226337473169.post-90535720713658521512008-05-13T22:43:00.001+05:302008-05-13T22:43:00.001+05:30Dear Bawa,I still eat in the dining hall at my sch...Dear Bawa,<BR/><BR/><BR/>I still eat in the dining hall at my school and as such see people eating meat on a constant basis. I agree with you that vegetarians should gently inform meat-eaters of what their eating habits may be doing to their own health and the environment. However, trying to talk to others about vegetarianism and possibly persuade is something that requires a lot of tact. Eating habits are a very personal thing, many times reflecting upbringing, culture, belief systems etc. I wonder how I can make it easier to talk to others and persuade them to become vegetarianism without coming across as being "pushy" and driving them further away.<BR/><BR/>Jai GurudevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750410226337473169.post-20272668878896911372008-05-01T10:30:00.000+05:302008-05-01T10:30:00.000+05:30Isn't it just possible that Al Gore doesn't the co...Isn't it just possible that Al Gore doesn't the conenction between non-veg and global warming .. in which case, it might be help if some of us were to write to him with all the facts and figures ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750410226337473169.post-19503504458051676602008-05-01T07:33:00.000+05:302008-05-01T07:33:00.000+05:30if you are in the US, it is also important to stay...if you are in the US, it is also important to stay away from diary.
