Over the last 100-50 years the world has changed beyond recognition. Humanity, wanting to improve the conditions of existence, has committed many remarkable discoveries, and was available to many new inventions, facilitate and make life more comfortable. Over 200 thousand years of presence on Earth (which is about 4 billion years old) people have penetrated almost all spheres of living organisms. And during this period of his triumphal procession "reasonable man" managed to almost completely destroy the ecological balance of the planet.
              How often do we think about how many species inhabit the earth? You see, how closely they are related to each other? What is the consequence the disappearance of a species for all the creatures of the Earth? Are we aware that the ecosystem of the planet - a single organism? Who, besides environmentalists and scientists concerned with the depletion of natural resources, global warming and the total pollution of the environment?
              What we produce? What we eat and drink? How much energy put into the production of necessary and unnecessary (!) Items, products, things?
              Which brings Mother Earth, drawing on its wealth and resources? What is poured into the river, into the soil released into the atmosphere?
               And most importantly - WHY?
              Authors eco-educational film «Home» Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Luc Besson www.home-bertrand.ru and the Foundation for Ecology and Peace» www.eko-mir.com encourage viewers to reflect on the fact that no generation before us was able to so dramatically change the face of the planet. In a relatively short period of time due to impractical organized human activity occurred, such metamorphoses, which are similar to the narrative fiction writers. But, alas, they are the sad realities of life. All the wealth of the planet is available to 2% of its residents, and 20% of the population consume 80% of its natural resources. Money spent on armaments is 12 times more than the assistance to developing countries. More than 1.5 billion people live in extremely difficult conditions, titanic struggling to provide food and water. Women in India, at the time of dry seasons, under broiling sun looking for water sources with picks and shovels, and at the same time, in Las Vegas, one person consumes 800 (!) Liters of water daily. On the growing 1kg of potatoes consumed 100 liters of water and 1 kg of rice - 4,000 liters of water. 1 kg of beef - 13.000 (!!!) liters of water, while every 6 people living in adverse or hazardous conditions, not having full access to water and electricity. Half of all poor people and poor people live in countries rich in natural resources. 1 billion people worldwide are malnourished, while over 50% of grain sold worldwide, is used to feed livestock. World-growing demand for meat is required to establish livestock farms, which are more like concentration camps: the "pastures" is not growing nor blade of grass, the animals are fed grain and soybeans. Every year 13 million hectares of forest disappear from the face of the earth. Pristine forests are transformed into ... meat! (Under the cultivation of soybean and corn needs to allocate new land). At the same time 40% of the arable land is in decline. Half of humanity to feed themselves and their families, busy with farming ... mostly by hand, with the relentlessly growing number of people willing to travel by private transport. Today on Earth 900 million cars. In Los Angeles, the number of machines is equivalent to the number of residents. 70% of water used for agriculture, while at the same time, 5,000 people die every day due to contaminated drinking water, and 1 billion lack access to safe water for sanitary epidemichekim standards ...
               All of these unthinkable paradoxes are indisputable evidence of negligent, reckless attitude to the natural and human resources. Requirements of the modern world has long run counter to the wisdom and harmony of the universe. 90% of total turnover by sea routes. Someone might say, why do we need food, grown in other countries on the plantations under the plastic and often thickly-stuffed with all sorts of synthetic ingredients when directly under the nose of unoccupied fertile Ukrainian lands? Why the big cities suffer from overpopulation, and 100 km from the capital come to the decline of the village, which could be home to the same migratory population? They say that all depends on the economy, but economically I spend 13,000 liters of water to "manufacture" 1 kg of meat? Lose economically if the whole of civilization due to improper and thoughtless use of natural resources? Environmental disasters are often conditioned by unhealthy economic interests and short-sighted decisions. Control system of climatic resources are no longer able to cope with such a wasteful and aggressive human intervention. The authors of the film "Home" (House) argue that humanity has left no more than 10 years to avert irreversible ecological transformation of the Earth in an unfamiliar, alien to our territory. By 2050 owing to the effects of global warming, floods and other natural disasters, the number of climate refugees might reach 20 million.
              WHAT TO DO?
              Every inhabitant of the planet can take some responsibility for ensuring that no longer pollute the environment and deplete natural resources. Everyone from the richest to the poorest can contribute to improving the situation. Some countries, realizing the magnitude of an impending disaster, responded and began to implement programs to ensure sustainable management of natural resources. This program of development of renewable energy: the conversion of solar energy, wave and wind.

              For example, for 1 hour the sun provides as much energy as all the inhabitants of the earth consumes in a year!

              Thus, the possibility of eliminating the problem exists today.

               It's not something that is lost, and what you can save ...

               What can you do personally?
