Obligatory Viewing

I've just watched a documentary called "Home", made by Frenchman Yann Arthus-Bertrand. This should be obligatory viewing for everyone, especially in schools.

Get it, watch it, think about it, talk about it. You may or may not agree with the whole "global warming" thing, but this documentary doesn't lecture. Through stunningly beautiful imagery and a sensibly restrained commentary (read by Glenn Close) it inspires the viewer to act.

Whether it's refusing to buy produce that's imported when there's a locally-produced option, or thinking twice before turning on the lawn-sprinkler, we can all do something to help. And if you work anywhere near the top of any giant corporation, in any field, you can definitely do something: tell your employer that the planet is more important to you than your job!
