Leonardo DiCaprio narrates the slow demise of planet earth. What a waste! Literally! I always knew that we had problems...but this is out of control.
Could it be we're to late? 50 to 50 thousand species are being wiped out each year, and we're continuing on like nothings happening.A great change is needed if the planet can bounce back from what we have thrown at it. William McDonough point "imagine now having to re-design design itself, and seeing deign as the first point of human intention." is something to be embraced. Mass utilisation must somehow find a firmer foothold in our society. Personally i think it may take awhile to implement, there's just too much money at stake for corporate culture to adapt to quickly, even if renewable resources become available, Corporations and governments are slow to warm to its benefits because these technologies are provided free by the planet and a therefor hard to put a price tag on.
Although the outlook of this film can seem alittle gloomy, it does offer some hope toward the end. The earth will perservere, but will we be so lucky. "So if we choose to iradicate ourselves by whatever means, the earth goes nowhere. And in time it will regenerate, and all the lakes will be pristene. The rivers, the waters, the mountains, everything will be green agian, and be peaceful. There may not be people, But the Earth will regenerate.Because the earth has all the time in the world...and we dont."- Orin Lyons, Faith keeper and Cheif of the wolf clan
This film really raised alot of questions for me.
