Earth is Alive! Beautiful... Finite... Hurting... Worth Dying for!

This is a non-commercial attempt to highlight the fact that world leaders, irresponsible corporations and mindless 'consumers' are combining to destroy life on earth. It is dedicated to all who died fighting for the planet and those whose lives are on the line today. The cut was put together by Vivek Chauhan, a young film maker, together with naturalists working with the Sanctuary Asia network.

  1. The only problem with wake up calls is that so many people are unwilling to believe they are asleep :-(

  5. There is a story related to the environment, in which a boy who was a very good painter made a big painting of a scene. There were big mountains covered with trees, except a few in the far background which looked snow-covered. From one of the mountains flowed a beautiful river. Down in the valley could be seen a few cosy cottages surrounded by gardens, a few butterflies, some birds soaring high in the air and little children playing happily in the open fields. Indeed it was a beautiful painting.

    The boy had a little brother. He also wanted to try his hand at painting. As soon as he got the chance, he picked up the brush and painted the mountain all black. The sparkling blue-white water of the river became brown, and with just one stroke of his brush, the flowers and trees and butterflies disappeared. His older brother was heartbroken. The only consolation was that the child who destroyed the painting was so small that he had done it in ignorance. Though it would require a lot of time and effort, the painter could paint another picture.

    While the painting was spoiled by an ignorant child, our earth and its environment are being spoiled by modern and civilized us…

  6. I think our biggest problem is that we read, listen, and watch these types of things, and forget the next day. I'm sure a lot of people don't want to see nature destroyed. However, the reason, I feel like, for no big movements against pollution, and other harming of nature is because we feel like a normal person, that goes to school, or has a job, and can't do a thing to do anything. To be honest, that's what I feel whenever there are presentations such as this one.
