Nature(and DisneyNatures Earth)

Ever since it came out in theaters and then on DVD, I have wanted to watch DisneyNatures Earth. Tonight, I finally got around to it, and I was very impressed by what I saw. The movie told the touching(and sometimes heartwrenching) stories of some of Earth's most interesting creatures, including in-depth looks at the Polar Bear, Humpback Whale, and African Elephant. The movie, full of breath-taking scenes and incredible images, also gave a solid warning about the damage we are doing to our world, folded carefully in with facts about the Earth and the creatures and places in and on it. Watching Earth, I was reminded again just how much we owe to this majestic world, and just how much we should be striving to give it. I know some people don't agree that we are causing harm to our world, and others simply ignore the harm and believe that it will somehow go away or be resolved without their having to pay any attention. Sadly, it won't. Every human being can do something to help our magnificent planet. Things as small as turning off light switches and making energy-saving choices in our daily lives can make a surprisingly big impact on the world. I don't want to tell anyone how to live their lives. Admittedly, I myself am not the "greenest" person, something I would like to change. But small, simple actions can help, and if we each go out of our way just a little bit, we CAN make a difference, a difference that is much-needed on Earth.

Live and Love,
Melanie
