Free Giveaway: An Inconvenient Truth

Ta-da!

For the fist time in history JarkkoLaine.com is giving away a free product to one of its readers. As the subscriber count is still growing (meaning that it’s not huge yet) you actually do have a chance of being the lucky winner – unlike the giveaways held at bigger blogs or web sites.

Enough advertising, let’s get down to the topic instead. Yesterday I finished watching my copy of “An Inconvenient Truth“, Al Gore’s movie about the climate crisis, as he calls it, for the second time. The movie touches me on two levels: First, it has a profound message that requires us to take action, and that each of us should hear and understand. Second, Mr. Gore is a terrific speaker who really knows what he’s talking about (and he knows how to create a slide show).

As today is the Green Programmer Day here at JarkkoLaine.com, it was a natural choice for me to give this movie forward. It’s no use for me to watch it again over and over, it’s much better to give it away to someone who still hasn’t seen the movie.

What do you need to do?

Yeah, there is a catch. In order to be eligible for the draw you need to write a comment to this post. Make sure to include your e-mail address (it won’t be visible on this page and I won’t use it for any other purpose than this giveaway) so that I know how to get in touch with you in case you are the lucky winner. In your comment, answer one or more of the following questions:

What are you doing to prevent the climate crisis in your programming (or other) work? Is there something you think you could do more? Do you think your employee is doing enough to fight the climate change? Why, why not?

You can be as verbose or non-verbose as you like. More verbose will of course create more discussion, but in order to apply for the giveaway you don’t need to write a lengthy message.

How is the winner chosen?

The winner is chosen using randomly from all commenters to this blog post. Any comment entered before the draw will be eligible. The draw is done on Wednesday 18th of July (a week from today), and the result will be posted on next week’s Green Programmer blog post along with some of the most interesting and useful advice from your comments. I’ll also contact the lucky winner through e-mail to ask for his/her mailing address.

Watch the movie, let your friends see it and share your information. It’s still not too late to start working on saving the planet for our kids.
