Well maybe if Al Gore had won the 2000 elections we wouldn't be spending all our money on the stupid war and we'd be spending more on saving the environment. President Bush said he cares about the environment. What exactly does he care about? I mean, I'm doing stuff to help out with the environment, but I can't make the car industry change to alternative fuels. Bush can. He can say: You must change and have alternative fuels, but he isn't. He can say "build more subways." but he isn't.
I agree, America is being stupid (as usual--it's kind of embarrassing how stupid America is), but if we just had more subways and if we just had less SUVs it would cut down on pollution a LOT. Also, if people would start believing that we need to save the environment then we'd get a lot more done. I hate it when people are like "oh, we don't need to save the environment...humans are going to live forever...we're the best..." that kind of thing. Sometimes I wish I didn't live here, but I think that I need to keep living here to help make the changes that need to be made. If everybody leaves, there won't be any change. Maybe we just "need to wake up" like the song from the movie says.
Everyone in America should see this movie. I don't care if you hate Al Gore. See it. It's not about what side of the political spectrum you are on. It's about the planet and how everyone needs to work together to save it.
