I ferreted out this video by spoken word artist Prince Ea about humanity’s folly – the defilement, destruction and devastation we have brought upon this planet we call home.
He rightly says “the real crisis is not global warming, environmental destruction or animal agriculture – it is us. These problems are symptoms of us (and) by-products of us”.
The short film makes a powerful case for protecting the planet and challenges the human race to create a sustainable future.
I’m not a fan of Prince Ea but this particular film of his is particularly noteworthy because it made it as a National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase pick. Besides, it is the winner of the Film4Climate competition organized by the World Bank’s Connect4Climate Program (film4climate.net).
Still, it's close to 3 years since the video was published – and things are not any better; in fact, they are getting from bad to worse.
Still, it serves as another reminder that we ourselves are responsible for the crippling ruination of the Big Blue Marble. We are duty-bound to protect Mother Nature.
The 'we' means all of us, everybody, every single one of us.
The 'we' means all of us, everybody, every single one of us.
In the EPL match yesterday, Liverpool just made it when they snatched a 2-1 win over Leicester City.
In the fortieth minute, Sadio Mane opened the scoring, driving inside from the left and firing past the Foxes’ keeper for his 50th goal in his 100th Premier League game for the club.
The other side equalized in the eightieth minute – but James Milner's injury-time penalty earned the Reds a dramatic victory, and thus, maintaining Liverpool's flawless start to the Premier League season.
Sure, there were plenty of chances missed and mistakes made but the three points is all that matters. Geez, my heart was pumping like crazy in the last 5 minutes!
