Not stupid

I was going to do a post with some recent charity shop / boot sale purchases that I'm rather proud of, as I realised that these have been distinctly thin on the ground, but first I just wanted to promote a film I saw last night that I thought was extremely moving.

It is called 'The Age of Stupid' and is a low budget film / documentary set in 2055, looking back at the first few years of the 21st century and critiquing what the human race did (or didn't) do in relation to the issues of global warming and climate change. Scary stuff. I am not going to lecture on how we consume far too much and take so much for granted, as goodness knows I am far from perfect, but I will urge you to watch it if you haven't already, or at least look at the websites of the film and the associated campaign;

It will make you think. And hopefully act.
