Roland Emmerich’s 2004 film, The Day
After Tomorrow
(BFI)
What a difference a day makes
I don’t blame you for being apathetic, but you don’t have to
be a raging environmentalist to do your part. Baby steps, that’s
all it takes. Those three little words: reduce, re-use, recycle.
Lobbying your local politicians to stop talking and start doing.
Topics like ‘sustainable energy’ and ‘renewable sources’ automatically
push the ‘zzzz’ spot. But tackling the issue can be fun – from
planting a tree to setting up recycling projects. Get in touch

Ideas Bank. They are advocating a blue nose day on 10 June
to highlight global warming.

Disaster movies
Disaster films like The
Day After Tomorrow, Twister and The Perfect
Storm may have that certain dramatic Hollywood ‘licence’,
but they’re not so far from the truth. Probably the closest to
home is The Day After Tomorrow, which illustrates what
could happen if turbulent changes in the weather continue. You’ll
find it fascinating and compelling. The special effects and computer-generated
imagery are spectacular – and thankfully that’s all they are.
What we don’t want is for that film to become a documentary. |
