One of the biggest factors in North America’s declining health is our belief system. We believe what we see advertised. We trust what we see on the shelves. We trust that our governments are actively protecting us. We trust what companies tell us, reading from one song sheet. We trust because we are trustworthy and fashion others after our own values. When  our belief system is challenged we are offended. No one wants to learn that they are naive or have been had. Not even I. So we easily fall prey to lawyers, lobbyists and corporate spinners representing manufacturers of ascent who confirm that we are safe and all evidence to the contrary is nonsense, insupportable scientifically. These types of responses followed global warming, well detailed in Inconvenient Truth. Is global warming a lie or an exaggeration? No. This is not a case of the tail wagging the dog as the powerful will have you believe. Do not find respite in this type of argument. Try to avoid an emotional response–the makers of CO2 know you relish to hear that the status quo is good.

In 2008, you must be courageous and find the truth yourself. In the film “287″ we will present a watershed of scientific studies, reports from acclaimed scientific leaders and physicians. You will hear from citizens and witness the damage to our children as well as all citizens of the world. A few of you will walk away in denial, claiming it is propaganda. Most of you will be wise, question, consult, investigate and take charge of your lives. You will seek the truth. Some of you will demand it pro-actively. Some of you will transform your lives 360. As long as you are rowing in the right direction, you and your family’s health will begin to improve.

I say these things with no untoward purpose other than to help my brethren. And all those who are participating in the production of this film–our crew, our talent, our contributors, our supporters–feel no less emotion and commitment to bringing this story to everyone.
