Lauren and I watched this movie online last week. Jaw-dropping footage of our planet, with slow-panning aerial shots that depict the landscape and inhabitants of earth in a unique and beautiful way.
The movie is 1.5 hours, and available over here on YouTube. Make sure you watch it full screen in HD.
If the alarmist tone turns you off... you can always watch it with some other music on. We live in an amazing place!
Have you ever wondered where all the stuff we buy comes from and where it goes when we throw it out?
Annie Leonard presents a well organized, and thought provoking presentation of this system in crisis. Visit The Story of Stuff where you can watch the movie in 4 minute chunks, or all 20 minutes at once.
My favorite part is in her conclusion, proposing another way.
"Some say its unrealistic. Too idealistic - that it can't happen. I say the ones who are unrealistic are the ones that think we can continue with the old way. They're dreaming.
Remember, the old way didn't just happen. It wasn't like gravity that we just have to live with. People created it, and we're people too. So let's create something new."
If you can't stand listening to some 'tree-hugger' talk about 'the environment' then this video is definitely not for you... Oh wait, yes it is. You live on this planet too.
