Our Year Without Oil

The True Stories strand, which showcases the best of international feature length documentaries, continues with John Webster's funny film about climate change and how he and his family coped when they tried to give up using oil for a year.
An observant, intelligent, revealing and thought-provoking programme, which deserves at least a repeat airing at an earlier time, so a broader audience and the next generation of adults get to see it.
Thank you so much for the insights into our careless behaviour this programme brings.
Much praise to Mrs. Webster for her tolerance of his 'obsession', her shrewd assessment of the process and the outcome and her keen observation of the presence of the 'extra family member' who now lives with us all: 'King Climate Change'.
It would be beneficial to make it available on DVD for educational use, as a practical demonstration of "An Inconvenient Truth".
