On June 5, 2009, a new movie, Home, will be released that will show our beautiful home through amazing documentary films by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. For the first time ever, a movie will be released simulatenously in 50 countries, and will be free to download fromYouTube. Clearly, the intend of the movie and its producers is to spread as far and wide as possible, and thus to help save humanity from a catastrophe that will occur in case of inaction.

And action is best activated by showing the beauty and wonder of our home; and the extent of its destruction. It took about 4 billion years for life to evolve to todays beauty; we have about 10 years left to ensure that the human species can keep enjoying this beauty for many generations to come. (more…)

This picture does not need any explanation. It was taken by Greenpeace during their action in D.C. today to increase the awareness of the worlds largest polluters that are currently meeting at the State Department in D.C. An expression from a friend of mine fits to this banner: “We need to get too connected to fail.”

Let us improve our connections and focus on a single clear goal: create a global low carbon society within the next decades. It does not matter what efforts it will take. The alternative is unacceptable. - Maiken Winter
