We now have 2 copies of the DVD "An Inconvenient Truth" in the library - one was purchased and the other was donated by Jackgreen energy.
We have been asked to :
- show the DVDs to all our students
- have them calculate their contribution to global warming by visiting http://www.thecarbondiet.com.au site and quote the school reference number, A4619 as Channel Ten will run a follow-up media piece on the results
- encourage everyone to reduce their carbon emissions
- ask everyone to watch the climate special on Channel Ten. "CoolAid - The National Carbon Test" on Sunday 4th March - 8.30pm
To get the best out of the DVD program you may do any or all of the following.
- Download the study guide which provides background to the science in the film and suggests classroom activities by going to http://www.metromagazine.com.au, click on study guides, select 'An Inconvenient Truth', enter your name and email address and finally print the guide (We have one copy printed and available for loan)
- Show students the DVD (we have permission to show it for educational use)
- Measure your impact by entering data about household energy use, vehicles, travel and recycling practices. The answers will show the impact of everyday living on the environment. Make sure that everybody enters the school details and you'll be provided with a statistical summary of the school community
- Watch 'Cool Aid - the National Carbon Test'
- Take action and make changes to reduce greenhouse impact
If all goes as planned
The library will be
- taping 'Cool Aid - the National Carbon Test' and putting it onto ClickView
- downloading the study guide for the DVD and loading it onto ClickView
- ensuring the DVDs are available for loan
- hoping that 'An Inconvenient Truth' will be shown on Foxtel or Free-to-air TV asap so it can be loaded onto ClickView
