Just binged this series
Another visual masterpiece, I think they somehow actually stepped it up even more with this one to differentiate from all those other BBC series’ that Sir David Attenborough and this team were a part of, which they had already set a high standard with so that’s saying a lot. 
I wish they did those quick behind the scenes stuff at the end of each episode though because from a creative perspective I really was curious throughout how certain shots were set up to be taken, or what equipment was being used.

Climate change can’t be halted if we carry on degrading the soil, a report will say.

The world’s leading scientists will warn the planet’s life-support systems are approaching a danger zone for humanity when they release the results of the most comprehensive study of life on Earth ever undertaken.

Up to 1m species are at risk of annihilation, many within decades, according to a leaked draft of the global assessment report, which has been compiled over three years by the UN’s leading research body on nature.

The 1,800-page study will show people living today, as well as wildlife and future generations, are at risk unless urgent action is taken to reverse the loss of plants, insects and other creatures on which humanity depends for food, pollination, clean water and a stable climate.

Watch this absolutely horrible video about Walrus overcrowding because of receding ice due to climate change from the nature documentary “Our Planet” on Netflix. Humans suck.

😳😳👊🏼 🥵👀the truth! ☕️☕️ is that if we don’t fix 🔧🔧🔨 the way we treat the earth 🌎🌎 in twelve 1️⃣2️⃣ years, we will all die 💀💀 due to global 🌎🌍🌏 warming 🔥🔥🔥

I’m into the sixth episode of “Our Planet.” It’s enlightening, beautiful and educational. But it also generates guilt and a feeling of “oh shit, what have we done and what are we doing?” I encourage you to watch it.

Excerpt:

One of the hallmarks of a past generation’s nature documentaries was the animal-in-peril scene: the cub hunted by the jungle cat, the fledgling teetering at the edge of its nest.

It was like the terror of a thrill-park ride, one that usually came with the implicit knowledge of safeguards and constraints. In the end, the adorable creature would survive. This was the compact. The animal that you liked would be O.K. After all, this was TV.

There is one of those scenes in the second episode of “Our Planet,” the remarkable docu-series on Netflix. But now the compact is gone. A teeming colony of walruses is crammed at the edge of eighty-meter cliffs along the coast of Russia, where climate change has melted away the sea ice. Not evolved to navigating the precarious surfaces, one walrus falls, and another, and another, their massive bodies slamming onto the rocky beach.

They do not, most of them, get up and shake it off. Their broken bodies litter the shore. This is the resounding message of “Our Planet”: It will not, necessarily, be O.K. And humans — the unpictured but omnipresent part of “our” in “Our Planet” — are the reason.

Mute the narration, and you could be watching the same screensaver art pageantry of a dozen past nature series. But the form of the episodes introduces this program’s mission. Each installment is about the web of life in a place — how the food chain that sustains a Siberian tiger begins with pine cones on a forest floor, how life in a river depends on steam rising from trees hundreds of miles away. Disrupt one part — raise the temperature, plant crops in a rain forest — and you disrupt them all.

“One Planet” appeals to the sense of wonder as viscerally as any of its predecessors, but to a purpose. Here is this beautiful, rare thing, each episode says. It didn’t used to be rare! But it is now. And here is how we’re responsible. And here is a tangible thing we might do to fix it. The arc of each installment runs from beauty to loss to a concrete, hopeful example of a battered ecosystem that’s recovered.

Zero waste food habits

To the best of your abilities:

Eat local

Eat in season

Purchase food with no packaging 

Waste less food (more on this later…)

Consume less (or no) animal products

I know food can be a touchy subject in the zero waste community for those of us who are vegan vs those who aren’t. The overall message I want to convey is to seriously reduce or eliminate the amount of animal products you consume as they are a MAJOR contributor to climate change. ESPECIALLY beef.

All The Things I’ll Never Do: about the state of the earth

Death, for the most part, is no longer this cloud of gray uncertainty. It is no longer this allusion of unbridled panic in my mind. No, it is finally something tangible and almost certain. It is something blind to the eyes of billions by chosen behaviors, or half ignorance. We all know the earth is dying. For reasons odd and unknown, some dispute it rather than just working to make improvements regardless of what they believe.

Look around, you have to see what we’re doing is wrong. You have to see the world’s hottest desert having a snow storm. You have to see forests we ruined. You have to see natural disasters at an alarmingly frequent rate. You have to see the islands of trash. It’s all right here. You smell the air of cities. You must feel the nausea that stays in my body as I think about the state of our wildlife. I am propelling towards an uncontrollable death fueled by big corporations and the wasteful attitude of monetary value over human life. How we drown in greed as the sea levels rise.

I cry as I pour my heart out into this document, a scared child. A child that will not live very long. I will never get to travel the world as much as I would like. There probably won’t even be much left to see by then. How much sorrow can I take at the thought of holding my partner in my arms during the last days of my premature death, as I tell them “I wish I had gotten to love you longer”. To the children I will never have, I am so sorry I not only never got to love you, but that WE ALL allowed this to happen.

12 years. We have 12 years. According to science, if the earth rises one more degree celsius, there will be no returning from the damage we have created. But we still have time. Plant plants, and keep them alive. As many plants as you possibly can. Recycle. If there are not proper ways to recycle at your work,school,or home, then get into contact with your state departments. Reduce the amount of red meat you intake. I’m not saying quit, but reduce. Methane given off from cows is significantly more potent than carbon, and that’s a big deal. Try to cut that intake in half or just anything, please. Support local farmers! Big business is the biggest contributor to this crisis. Petition for clean renewable energy. That could possibly save us all and we do have the tools to do it, just the greed of money to not make it happen. Elect officials that care about the earth. Spread awareness. Share things. Talk about it. Sign petitions to help the earth. Donate if you can.

Please.

I have never wanted so much to be alive, and I have never felt such a feeling of hopeless doom above my head. It is no longer the time to be complacent.

Wild random thought

They can’t build the Notre Dame the same way as it originally was just because the big trees used for it have all been chopped down by humans in the past. Now they try to figure out a way to come close to the old design for which they have to kill a large amount of trees (big surprise, humans want to destroy a forest, for a little project, that doesn’t help the world in anyway, once again). But why don’t we rebuild it with plastic. Recycled plastic. We can build the original construction with it. It won’t burn away, will last forever and will help clean the damn ocean and world🤷‍♂️ just a random thought.

And for the people complaining it will look ugly or fake. 60% of the things you buy and think are pretty are from plastic so shush you. You can make great, good looking things with that stuff.

If you care about people, animals, our planet, and life as we know it, we all have to go vegan. There is no other way around it.

And honestly, going vegan was the best decision I ever made, so it’s not even a sacrifice and it saves so many resources and spares so many lives. There is no reason to say “no” to veganism other than your own excuses.

Barrel Jellyfish Animation

Been seeing these things in the harbor lately and they are actually bigger than I am. Its crazy. They are everywhere right now because of rising ocean temperatures caused by guess what… climate change!
