Crude Impact - Are You Doing Your Part?

 

Crude Impact DVD CoverCrude Impact - This documentary aired some five years ago.  We missed it... did you?  We caught up with it a couple of days ago on Netflix.

Crude Impact was awarded the Best Environmental Feature Film at the 3rd Annual Artivist Film Festivalin in Los Angeles and captured the Grand Jury Prize at the 2nd Annual Cinestrat Film.

There was a story to be told, a story that needs to be told again.  Today, March 13, 2011 in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area a litre of regular gas is being sold for $1.23.  Over $80 to fill up the tank on our car.

There is always a reason for the prices to go up... a hurricane, a war or how about good old GREED.

Find this film and watch it, there is nothing that gets in the way of these oil companies.  Never mind the land or the rainforests that are being destroyed, how about all the lives that stand between the oil companies and the oil.

You will be shocked!

Hello Al & Penny, this is very timely...we do need to watch this.  I also missed it before.  I think you are right on about GREED playing a part on the crude issue.

Al and Peggy a gallon of regular gas here in Connecticut is going for about $3.79.  That is crazy.  I will see if I can find the film and watch it.

It's no wonder no one has heard of this film, it's not main stream enough for the masses.  I might add, for the "very masses" who really should be watching it because it hits their pocket books the hardest.

You're absolutley right Josh, we have to protect our environment, its the only one we have!

We understand Vickie, on one of our vacations we rented a Prius, it was actually fun and was good on fuel!

Once again Silvia you are correct.

Al & Peggy, no I haven't seen it.  I do believe it's all about greed and I also believe we will never be off of fossil fuels until there is no more.
