I was kicked out of the blog by Rahul for not posting for a long time, so I had to assure him that I would post atleast once in a week to get back as an author... :)
So here i go...
I watched this documentary called "HOME- A Stunning Visual Portrayal of Earth" (download it from u know where). Its a very beautifully documented HD video about our only home - Earth. Unlike any other documentaries that u watched in Nat-Geo or Discovery, this is entirely different coz it talks about........... uhh well, I just can't find the right words to make u enlightened or stuff like that... Simple! just watch the video to get the feel of it... :)
Sid got very emotional while watching ( lol :P ) so i told him to forward some scenes....
Here are some snaps of it:
Arctic ice...
melting away...
(boring.... hearing this from over a decade)
Deforestation... we know all this gen stuff..
but wat about these following things..!!
Most of the grain produced is used for livestock feed!! In US alone, 95% of the soyabean goes for cattle-feed & biofuel!
Imagine if this were to be distributed then it would alone solve the world's hunger problem!!
To grow
1kg potatoes requires 1000l water,
1kg rice requires 4000l water,
whereas 1kg beef requires 13000l water.
"Dubai, the new beacon for all the world's money!
A culmination of the western model.
A symbol of the exploitation of the energy the Earth supplies!"
-HOME(documentary)
In Los Angeles, the number of cars is equivalent to the number of people!
Legas, Nigeria.
Even though being Africa's richest oil exporter, more than 70% of the people are Below Poverty Line.
People dont have access to the country's wealth.
And half the world's poor live in resource rich countries!!
Water pollution caused by the extraction of oil from tar sands of Canada!! (aerial view)
P.S. : Forward first 15 mins to watch the real deal.
