Nature is peaceful and not necessarily quiet...

These were the words that I learnt, understood and co-related quite well on Saturday's quintessential morning at Sanjay Gandhi National park..

Nature is peaceful and not necessarily quite...
and
with the stupendous industrial growth, green revolution, IT boom etc - the aiders of the gobal warming, its not the earth that we need to save but we need to save ourselves - the humans.. cos in the history of earth - it has coped with ice ages and many other such devastating events..but humans would not...

so the slogan should be "Save ourselves" and not "Save Earth"

The Story of Stuff

The Story of stuff is a 20-minute video which presents a critical vision of the consumerist American society but can also be extended around the global consumerist society. It purports to expose "the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world." The video is divided into 7 chapters: Introduction, Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption, Disposal, and Another Way.

Its a wonderfully made nice short animated film which shows the grave effects of over consumerism..the film is conceptualized by Annie Leonard who has also written a book on "The story of Stuff" .. All the series are a must watch..
