Our third showing of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth attracted only 40 people compared with 150 at each of the two previous screenings but it was followed by a thoughtful discussion led by David Gordon, Chairman of the award-winning eco-house builders, the Ecos Trust.
I like to think that our 340 film-goers – and all those who saw or heard the publicity for the movie on, for example, BBC Somerset Sound – contributed in some small way to Al Gore’s Nobel Prize announced this week.
Al Gore’s update, and the two GreenPeace films, A Convenient Solution and What are we waiting for? about combined heat and power was better attended and former County Councillor Catherine Le Grice Mack fascinated us on aspects of organic farming as well as stimulating a number of new people to get involved with us.
