A short, animated film about climate change by Leo Murray. I like the simple and understandable structure of how it´s made, also the artistic touch of it, and of course what it´s talking about.

I am very excited about a new discovery I made just recently.
It is called Permaculture. It is a revolutionary new concept of “agriculture” based on observing and understanding nature. I absolutely love the perspective that Permaculture is offering. Traditional agriculture is about the human dominating nature and manipulating it at will. To me it always seemed a rather arrogant way of dealing with nature without really getting in touch with it. It seems that there is no connection between human and nature whatsoever, nature is rather seen like a tool that is there to attend humans and that’s it. The natural circles of life are broken in a rough manner and an artificial setup is taking place for mass production. I think one of the reasons we are at the point we are, because we think of ourselves as superior to nature and not part of it. That’s a cancer-like energy pattern. In that aspect saying that we, humans are the cancer of the Earth is a simple fact. We think we are superior, we don’t feel part of it and we want to have it our way, building an individual world (that would be a tumor in the analogy) forgetting about our own nature, habitat (which would be the body in the analogy), changing the scenery and pretending to be something else, something more, something superior, something different. The rulers. This, my friends, is our end. The earth is making huge efforts to balance all the damage we are causing. But I think the idea is fair: if we don´t change our attitude, we will have to “leave” the earth so it can go on living. Frankly, we are just one species of the many on this planet, and if we really want to claim to be superior and the most intelligent, we will have to take a look into the mirror and ask ourselves some questions. Now.
It´s amazing what a strong apocaliptical consciousness we have…
Even though there are rather questions than answers, there are some new movies that appear recently to demonstrate and underline, that “something´s going on”. It is also amazing to me how we just go on with that knowledge, accepting it. Just like that. Oh yeah the world is so bad, people are so and so, oh well… Lets forget about it and go on with our lives like before.
“The movie was unrealistic anyway”
I see it different. Continue reading ‘Does anyone remember?’

First of all, i would like to welcome you to this Category that is called Earth. Here, we will post “earthly matters”, such us new climate phenomena.
Today i will write about Smoke in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, placed in South America (for those who do not know where it is).
A week ago, Buenos aires was submerged in smoke that started with rural fires. Farmers routinely use fires to clear land for new plantings and to remove scrub, but this time it burned out of control. It is in fact, the first time that such phenomena takes place. The air was unbreathable, throats and eyes got irritated and weather did not help. The urban landspace was covered into a great veil of smoke causing some traffic accident taking the life of a few. It was said by authorities that smoke was not toxic, but for those who made it through this chaos, it seemed like it as it is dangerous for health and air-pollution. In addition, many people declared having headaches and nose bleeding.
