You're in a movie theatre watching a life-altering documentary. The film ends and you're left sitting in your seat, stunned by what you've just witnessed.You think of the future, your kids' future, the future of everything. You are scared. You're mad. You want people to sit up and listen. You want change and you want it now.
So, what do you do?
Well, if you're Anna Banana, you launch a sit-down protest right then and there in the theatre. You refuse to leave until they promise to hold another screening of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
You want the politicians to see this film so they will learn about global warming and the threat it poses. You want this because politicians have the power to make change. But if they don't have the information, they won't be in a position to do so.
Since her sit-down protest in August, Anna Banana has launched the Green Mile walk, a relay walk that will transport a copy of An Inconvenient Truth from Anna Banana's home in Coldbrook to the Nova Scotia legislature where she hopes politicians will have a special screening. The walk is approximately 100 K.
Anna Banana is asking others to join her Green Mile walk which will occur in November when the provincial Legislative Assembly sits.
Readers may remember Anna Banana from the amusing Global Warming Panties photo she sent The Gifted Typist a few posts back.
Her story has been taken up by the papers and radio. This Gifted Typist believes that Anna Banana is a model for the modern-day little guy standing up to the monoliths, saying what she thinks and doing something about it.
The Gifted Typist will keep you posted on her progress.
