Yann Arthus-Bertrand, you the guy would love to grow wings… Yeah the one in the plane with his huuuuuge lense pointing at the ground, yeah now you know who it is… Well this guy released a big event movie about our incapacity to be respectful to our earth, our home.

Somewhere on earth ^^

His movie was released at the sametime around the globe, and can be seen free of charge on youtube, and please, in HD ! Despite the fact that it laggs a little, the movie is almost as impressive as his photographs. Capturing magnificient landscapes, climat weird things, etc… It is basically only pans, during wich he tells numbers and facts that are supposed to touch us, to make us react, and it works. I don’t even want to get my driver’s license anymore… Actually it is no use, gaz will cost 20 times the actual price in not even 10 years…

Anyways, his storytelling is good, his photography is amazing, and it’s free, so just watch it and make up your mind ! I think it will make people think a bit more. We do have to change !

NB: Just for those who are trying to bring him down, saying that his movie had a big ecological cost, please shut your mouth, will you ? What did you want him to do ? Write a book ? He didn’t waste that energy, he put it into preserving itself. It’s a little bad for a huge good…
