EARTH´S FORCES: WATER

Source: BBC via YouTube.

Of all our planet's forces perhaps none has greater power over us than water.

For me water is the most magical force on earth.

The presence of water shapes, renews and nourishes our planet.

It's our planet's life blood, that pumps through it continuously.

Water makes Earth alive.

Era una tarde infernalmente calurosa. Cosa nada fuera de lo normal en su vida normal dentro de lo normal aunque en muchas ocasiones no tiene nada de normal, pues se salen de lo normal siempre siguiendo una línea normal para aparentar que no están haciendo nada fuera de lo normal cuando quieren hacer cosas dentro y fuera de lo normal.

Pero nada los detuvo. Estaban determinados para llevar a cabo lo que los dejaría sin cabos.

GLOBAL WARMING: END OF THE LINE

“You do not repair the climate of an entire planet without staggering sacrifices unless the burden is shared with something like parity. To put that as succinctly as possible, the days of paradise for a few are drawing to a close. The game of finding someone else in some convenient misery to fight our wars, pull our rickshaws, and serve as the offset for our every filthy indulgence is just about up. It is either Earth for all of us or hell for most of us.”

How? With plastics. As simple as that.

Please take the time to watch the following documentary on plastics in the world´s oceans. It is excellent!!

THE LAST MOUNTAIN: PATRIOTIC CITIZENS TRYING TO STOP BIG COAL CORPORATIONS FROM BLOWING UP MOUNTAINS IN APPALACHIA

In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain. It is a battle with severe consequences that affect every American, regardless of their social status, economic background or where they live. It is a battle that has taken many lives and continues to do so the longer it is waged. It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal.
The mining and burning of coal is at the epicenter of America's struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental concerns. Nowhere is that concern greater than in Coal River Valley, West Virginia, where a small but passionate group of ordinary citizens are trying to stop Big Coal corporations, like Massey Energy, from continuing the devastating practice of Mountain Top Removal.
The citizens argue the practice of dynamiting the mountain's top off to mine the coal within pollutes the air and water, is responsible for the deaths of their neighbors and spreads pollution to other states. Yet, regardless of evidence supporting these claims, Big Coal corporations repeat the process daily in the name of profit. Massive profit allows Big Coal to wield incredible financial influence over lobbyists and government officials in both parties, rewrite environmental protection laws, avoid lawsuits and eliminate more than 40,000 mining jobs, all while claiming to be a miner's best friend. As our energy needs increase, so does Big Coal's control over our future. This fact and a belief that America was founded on the democratic principal that no individual or corporation owns the air and water and we all share the responsibility of protecting it, drives these patriotic citizens and their supporters from outside of Appalachia, like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to keep fighting.A passionate and personal tale that honors the extraordinary power of ordinary Americans when they fight for what they believe in, THE LAST MOUNTAIN shines a light on America's energy needs and how those needs are being supplied. It is a fight for our future that affects us all.
Written, directed and produced by Bill Haney, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder and president of the eco-housing start-up, Blu Homes, THE LAST MOUNTAIN was co-written and edited by Peter Rhodes and produced by Clara Bingham and Eric Grunebaum. Narrated by William Sadler, the film features original music by composer Claudio Ragazzi and includes the song "Your Control" by Crooked Fingers and Neko Case.

No somos dueños de este planeta. Sólo somos huéspedes en la Tierra. Nuestras vidas son efímeras. Todos estamos de paso. No somos eternos, menos mal.

Pero no estamos aquí para asustar a la gente que nunca quiere pensar en el ocaso que nos aguarda a todos los mortales al final de nuestros caminos.
