I went to see "Earth" today - the DisneyNature film that is a type of "Planet Earth" by Discovery. All in All a good film. Lots of Beautiful Scenery - really beautiful, awe inspiring and breath taking.
The film travels the length of the globe - and all seasons of life.
This film is another examle and document of the most preciouse jewel we have as a human race - and the responsibility we have as well.
Global warming and its effects were mentioned in ways that were natural to the movie experience, and as a whole the lovely planet earth spoke very well for her self - her beauty, tenderness, extremes and harsness - all together, all at once.
What this film left me with is this -
What we do today may occur as a sacrifice - or inconvient, but if you look at it with this question in mind, "What is it I want to leave behind as a heritage for my family, my country, my world?" dead scorched earth? flooded coast lines, and forced relocations - or - Do I want to leave behind the beauty of this earth that I have come to love and enjoy? As a reality - something that can be touched and felt - not something you learn about remotely as in a book or movie.
I fully believe it is important to look around us, in our homes, our cars, are places of employment and recreation - What is the impact that I am making and what will my contribution to the future be? More dead trees? No Oil? Global oven? 50% or more of the plants and animlas gone? OR Do you want to leave behind as much of this natural beauty we have today as we can? To Leave it as a legacy that is empowering and encouraging one that represents in part if not in whole the beauty and majesty we have been able to experience in our own lives?
I believe it is important for each of us to do our part each day and ask your self - what would I want to leave for my grand children - or even thier grand children?
