An Inconvenient
Truth -- This documentary presents Al Gore’s campaign
to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.
Intertwining simple but harrowing statistics with personal reflections,
Gore explains that the tools and methods to reverse the damage we
have done are at hand and that the economic consequences of tackling
the problem are positive rather than negative.

Live Speaker ** Michael Richards, author, will present
and discuss his book -- Sustainable Operating Systems: The Post
Petrol Paradigm.
You are a witness to one of the most
important times in history. This book provides you with a plan to
participate in this major change.
Access to petroleum fuel has been a dominant factor of the global
economy and industrial civilization for the last 150 years. A paradigm
is comprised of the generally accepted thought patterns that provide
the base architecture for all other thought and activity within
a society. A paradigm is “what we think, before we think”.
Our present culture is based on “The Petroleum Paradigm”.
The Petroleum Paradigm does not only refer to the petrochemical
materials that fuel and supply our culture, but the way of thinking
that developed as the common world-view that supports the petroleum
based industrial society. To make the shift into the Post Petrol
Paradigm we will engage in a radical transformation of the way we
perceive ourselves as human beings within our global ecology. The
new Post Petrol Paradigm is based on a dramatic change in the way
we live. We change the way we live by changing the way we think.
This book offers you a creative new way of thinking and living.
Usually it takes a major crisis to motivate human beings to change
their way of thinking. As long as we are comfortable, most of us
do not change. The Petroleum Paradigm has reduced most of us to
“consumers” rather than self-realized, intelligent human
beings. Consumers do not really think, they respond to stimuli,
such as 30-second political sound bytes or 60-second commercials
that mentally program the consumer to participate in the mass consumer
economy. This book is a wake up call for conscious action. It is
time to wake up and think. This book is a catalyst for critical
thinking, group discussion and creative action. This book will change
your life.
