#211 Stop killing Earth

What do we eat? Meat, meat, meat... Meat under stress. That steak is a cow locked in a cattle ranch exploitation, forced to eat feed without rest.
This has an impact on the environment.

Where and how do we live? Air-conditioning - Why to be at 24º when you can stay at 18º? Heating - Why to be at 24º wearing a sweater when you can stay at 30º dressing a T-shirt? Why to chose renewable energy? That's expensive. It's easier to continue to consume resources such as coal or gas.
Our energy footprint adds to the impact.

How do we move? Why to use a bicycle or go walking? Ufff... Slopes, distances... Why to use public transports? It's more comfortable to use our own private car with air-conditioning and heating!
Our transport habits add to the impact.

How we consume? Oh, my jeans went out of fashion! There's a new Ipod model. I need more terabytes for my computer. I want a bigger car, a bigger house, a bigger life! Why?? Are the jeans broken? Your Ipod doesn't work? Are you sure you need more terabytes? Don't you fit in your car? And in your house?
Add up to the impact.

I don't want to show my future children pictures of butterflies because they have become extinct within a few years. I don't want to take the kids to the zoo and botanical garden because looking through the window we just can see cement and desert.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the author of HOME, says that these are the principal emissions of greenhouse gases.

If you still have not seen HOME, sit comfortably in your sofa this weekend and enjoy this wonderful film, distributed throughout the world for free. This is because the intention of Yann Arthus-Bertrand is that the message reaches all corners of the world.
