Over Christmas we are plagued with overtly festive advertisments on tv.. all of them looking awfully wintery with a generous blanket of snow... This however causes me a problem... my kids want to know 'Mum, how come it is christmas and we have no snow?'
Now I live in England and we didn't always have a winter wonderland at Christmas but I can certainly remember a lot more of them when I was a kid. My daughters are nine and seven and I think they have only ever had one time when there enough snow to actually have some real fun with. This brings us to the issue.. why the fuck is that?..
Now I am not any kind of green warrior but I do try to do my bit. I recently bought a car with a small engine which has less emissions, I use energy efficient lightbulbs, I recycle and I threaten my kids with the death of the planet if they dare to leave lights on!
Today I watched Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth... and you should too.
If you watch this trailer and think that you really need to do more, then prove it, even if it is to watch the full movie and find out more information then go out and get it.. (if u are in the UK and want a copy then drop me a line).

If you watch this and think it is a load of complete bollox and you don't give a shit then you can also show me that by de-friending or de-fanning me.
