A Convenient Solution is a movie documentary synthesis of concepts and ideas inspired by a plethera of concerns and thoughts shared throughout the world regarding the most fundamental of issues: responsible survival.

An Inconvenient Truth, the 2006 Sundance Film Festival hit, documents the facts about the deadly progress of global warming through the inspirational commentary of former Vice President Al Gore.

A Convenient Solution, soon to be produced by Aspen Hill Films in collaboration with Positive Pace, provides a clear, documented, and very hopeful message: we already have the tools in hand to recover and we are all a part of that solution.

A monumentally inconvenient truth: Global Warming is occuring and the consequences will alter life as we know it.  The continuing rise in carbon dioxide resulting from fossil fuel emissions is the primary cause of this phenomenon.  The impacts of global warming are planet-altering and its rate of occurence is happening faster than we thought it was just ten years ago.  The business-as-usual scenarios being presented lead to a changed and challenging climate around the entire world.  No one escapes responsibility.  Continued reliance on fossil fuels also adversely impacts air and water quality and is already causing serious human health and environmental consequences.  Additionally, as is becoming all to clear, our dependence on imported oil has serious implication for our national security.

A suprisingly convenient solution: Renewable energy, energy efficiency, and conservation are the cornerstones of climate recovery.  The array of proven possibilities is large and varied enough to provide considerable alternative, carbon-free and secure energy pathways:

• Electricity generated mainly from solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and hydropower
• Transportation based on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and other biomass-related fuels
• Buildings, new and renovated, built to be carbon-neutral
• Ever more efficient equipment at home and in industry
• Increased attention to energy implications of land and water use planning at all levels and every part of the world

Everyone is part of the solution.  We can choose the products and services we buy, transportation and trips we take, homes and businesses we develop, government policies we support, and how we think of our place in the world now and in the generations to come.
