The cinema in the sun 1 June 2007
Al Gore would surely have approved. Friends of the Earth teamed up with a solar cinema to show An Inconvenient Truth at the Wychwood festival this year.
After the screening Lib Dem MP Martin Horwood bigged up The Big Ask campaign in a debate about climate change solutions.
Friends of the Earth and all the people who sent postcards are responsible for a climate change bill existing now - I don't think we would have had that without The Big Ask campaign.

He also talked about:
- cross party consensus on climate change
- how the new G8 climate deal was dangerously bypassing the UN
- the need for a strong Climate Change Bill
Its great that we've got the Climate Change Bill but a lot needs to change. We need annual targets, higher emissions reductions and aviation to be included in the Bill. So it's important for people to keep up the pressure.
Martin Horwood MP
Solar powered cinema
The Groovy Movie Solar Cinema tours UK festivals every summer. It is powered by large solar panels that convert 8 hours of bright sunshine into enough electricity to run the cinema for 8 hours at night.
How many energy saving lightbulbs does it take to save the planet?
