This documentary about earth has been on youtube for the last year and a half and I'm only just seeing it now thanks to Gizmodo.
I think this is an important documentary to watch as it really speaks to how drastically we've changed the planet in only the last 50-60 years.
Time is obviously running out for us to drastically change the way we live our lives or face the consequences of our ever increasing population and hunger for resources that the planet just doesn't have enough of to provide for everyone now and into future generations.
It's easy to see how with businesses and corporations chasing ever increasing profits as the ultimate goal that the things that fall by the wayside are the things that don't seem to turn a profit, like leaving old growth forests alone, or taking less fish out of the ocean per year so stocks have a chance to replenish. These sorts of things drag profits down but since when has anything on this earth, apart from humanity cared about money? never, but now we're all starting to really see the price for our own greed and over indulgence.

Hey, y'no If you just skip the line where it says 'disrupting' and cut to shots of a car cruising around the countryside halfway through in the background, with the same sound and music, it would still really work as an advertisement
HA! So true! Actually you could use this as an ad for pretty much anything 'green' just stick the product in at the end instead of the world. Nice spotting Kieran n_n
