A long time in the making and now a full-fledged success, the Yamuna Biodiversity Park near the Indian city of New Delhi is a model for restoration work around the world. Showcasing the use of botanical solutions to the challenges of soil contamination and drought, this brief video tells the whole world that some brilliant, caring individuals in India have given us solutions to global problems. All we have to do is copy their work and apply it locally.
My hat is off to Fortune Brainstorm for preparing this compelling video short!
The shifting water temperatures, currents and food patterns are driving migratory species THOUSANDS of miles off their normal routes. Sometimes they are lost, other times, they travel great distances because they normal feeding grounds are barren. No matter the specific circumstances, we will see more and more of this in an age of global warming.
Marina Rikhvanova, long-time partner of Pacific Environment, won the Goldman Environmental Prize! Winning the Prize, known as the Nobel Prize for environmentalists, is a huge and well deserved honor for Marina. For years, Marina has worked tirelessly to protect Lake Baikal, the world's oldest and deepest lake.
Marina won the Prize because of her four-year struggle to protect Lake Baikal from an oil pipeline slated to be built within a half-mile of the lake. Despite Russia's increasingly repressive political climate, she successfully led a national campaign compelling President Vladimir Putin to reroute the pipeline away from the lake's watershed. This marked a tremendous success for civil society and the environmental movement in Russia. Now Marina is leading the struggle to prevent a Uranium Enrichment plant from being built near Lake Baikal.
This superb 5-minute summary is narrated by Robert Redford.
Fred Krupp is president of the Environmental Defense Fund, a leader in the movement to protect people, places and wildlife from destruction. Naturally, the global climate crisis plays a large role in their EDF's mission.
Trying to steer cynics away from the argument that responding to the climate crisis will have a negative economic impact, Mr. Krupp has cowritten a New York Times best-selling book EARTH: The Sequel. This video is the trailer, in which Mr. Krupp explains why the information contained in the book is reason not for hope that we will reverse the climate crisis but that it is the right direction for humanity. There's a WHOLE LOT of money to be made in next-generation technology. Watch here to understand why.
In his Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President of the United States Al Gore gave us a sobering call to action and vision of the future in a world stricken with the worst effects of global warming. Since the film, many of the scientific predictions which underpin the plot have come true, others have been revised to a worse outcome. In this important update, Mr. Gore tells us what has happened in the last 3 years and what is to come.
While based on a grim future, there's room for hope, too. Everyone should see this video!
