I can't believe this doesn't get more votes. Yann Arthus-Bertrand is one of the best photographers on the planet. This movie belongs to the "inconvenient truth" kind of call to humanity and it is free to download and watch. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014762/

If it were a film about how Twitter is going to save humanity I'm sure this submission would be more popular.

For those of you who, like me, don't have the time to watch the entire film right now but want a glimpse, here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8IozVfph7I&feature=chann...

Thanks, the original site didn't load for me. I'm on Ubuntu/FireFox what file type was it, flash?

The site seems a bit slow. Today is the release I think(?)

"The price to pay is high, but it's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption."

now I'm curious, what happens in year eleven?

Does the world need more alarmist fiction?

In other news, truth is not beauty.

People have different views.

I care about the environment/sustainability/energy crisis, but not enough get involved directly. I chose the tech field with that awareness.

I realize that most people think developing the web is an afterthought compared to this issue — I don't. At the same times, I see myself as responsible for helping solve this problem in the best way I can.
