I definately think it deserved some acknowledgement as it did raise alot of awareness to the extent of which climate change is affecting the environment.
However how affective it has actually been to influencing people to change i think has been minimal and could possibly have been more influential.
The whole film was very negatively framed where as if they had put it more in a posative light of things that could be done to try and prevent the increase of global warming it may have swayed more people to take action, but the video betrays an impossible situation that nobody believes they could have an affect on stopping it.
overall i think the film did a great job at raising awareness of the crisis, however did very little in providing people with a solution or methods in which they can help lower climate change and so many people will not be phased by the film, as i didnt change anything about the way i live my lifestyle even straight after watching the film so i'm highly unlikely to start now a week after watching it.

sustaining my lifestyle
Bugeting where i spend my money, what is needed and what is just wanted.
Use the bus services rather than driving. could save money on insurance, roadtax, mot and petrol and would be better for the environment, however i am unlikely to do this as it will prevent me from several luxaries of being able to go home and visit people and just get away when i like, so instead i could drive at a lower speed to save petrol. Furthermore i could car share with people so that we are not all using our cars to make trips.
Another way i could be more sustainable is to start recycling more, as i accumulate alot of cardboard and plastic bottles which are just thrown into the bin, where as if i seperated them they could be put to better use.
Thirdly is making sure i turn the lights off when i go out could cut down on the amount of electricity used, similarly by closing the windows when i go out could cut down on the amount of central heating needed.
Fourthly by wearing items of clothing such as jumpers and trousers for a few days each i can cut down on the amount of washing i need to do therefore saving money and energy.
