Along with the many animal concerns there are equally as many environmental concerns, they go hand in hand and we all need to take part, take notice and make a difference. Over the holidays I watched a few documentary’s. I highly recommend you watch these films, educate your self , your family and friends. The bigger the circle the bigger the change.

Tapped

Examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil. The documentary is well structured and presents an overwhelming amount of evidence which will change the way anyone thinks about bottled and municipal water.

Both the “manufacture” of the water itself, and also where the bottles come from, where they go after use and how they influence our lives while they’re with us. The willful absence of major companies such as Coke, Pepsi and Nestle is extremely telling in light of all the material. Watch Free by clicking here: TAPPED

No Impact Man

“No Impact Man” is an awesome documentary movie, which has been directed by joint exertions of Laura Gabbert and Justin Schein. The plotline of the movie revolves around Manhattan-based Beavan family. This documentary follows the one year experiment of this family, as they abandon high consumption 5th Avenue lifestyle and try to live a simple life. They took this crucial step with the intention to save theenvironment. They don’t want to make any negative impact on the environment for a period of one year. You can watch No Impact Man video here to observe their one year experiment for the sake of environment.

Dirt! The Movie

DIRT! The Movie–directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow–takes you inside the wonders of the soil. It tells the story of Earth’s most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility–from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation.

King Corn

King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm.

A Delicate Balance documents the latest discoveries of some of the most prominent experts on nutrition in the world. Over 50 years of research is skilfully woven into what feels like a detective unravelling the mysteries behind the disease epidemic which has struck affluent countries with a vengeance – disease has been escalating over the last 50 years resulting in 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women being diagnosed with cancer.

This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.
