HOME

how well do you know your 4.5billion-year-old home???


June 5.....World Environment Day.....
read the newspaper and found this meaningful documentary air on NTV7 and 8TV ...

Director-->an Award-winning aerial photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Narrator--> Actress, Glenn Close

it is a documentary about our home--the Earth....
enthralled by the breathtaking imagery.....
showing us...
how the Earth evolve from dead planet to the lively one....
how the Earth looks like when it was in her perfect balance condition
how Homo sapiens change the face of their 4 500 000 000-year-old home in less than hundreds years time...

faster and faster........
human hands replaced with machines....
crops fed with fertilizer..showered with pesticides...
feed the livestock with corn instead of grass...
just to make all kind of process double or maybe triple or even faster in pace...

more and more.....
agriculture activities grows 5 folds in the past 100 years...to feed the people on Earth...
13 000 000 hectars forest is being cleared every year for crops and building.....

giving more for less....
13000 liters of water to gain 1 kg of beef....
90% corn harvested is taken away from people's mouth for the livestock...
hundreds species of living replaced with ONE species of plant....
tons and tons of foods being wasted around the world while millions of people starving there....

everything we do....is affecting others...
like a chain...
we never living alone....
always link with the others.....
the plant....animals....water....air.....all kind of things on Earth....

the world clock is walking faster...
ice at the poles breaks.....shatters on the sea....then melts in short time...
invisible hole created in the sky.....

people realise the causes....feel the effects....
putting in effort to revert these....
it seems like too late for everything.....

but...
the lost is not important....the important is what remain...


It's up to us to write what's next.....TOGETHER....


G.G. = Go Green
