'Inconvenient Sequel' prompts pinky promise
Cathy Orlando, director of CCL Canada, and her family recently attended a special screening of Al Gore’s new film, “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.” Cathy’s 10-year-old daughter Sophia presented Mr. Gore with a drawing and a handmade card, which read “Thank you, Mr. Gore, for helping make my life convenient. Love, Sophia." Also in attendance was the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change—equivalent to the U.S. EPA director. She shared a pinky promise with Sophia to tackle climate change and encourage everyone to do their part. Their special moment was captured on camera by Sophia’s dad. CCL Canada tweeted the photo and, later, Minister McKenna responded with her own tweet!
Thank you, everyone, for retweeting. Minister McKenna is now doubling down on her commitment for a national carbon price by 2018!
“An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” opens in select theaters July 28 and nationwide on August 4.
Read Cathy’s take on the film in her post on CCL’s blog.
