World Environment Day – On June 5th we all have a date with the planet
I just found out this morning: tomorrow is World Environment Day and lots of things are happening worldwide! Events range from conferences (for example the environmental day conference in Brussels) to a release of the movie HOME.
HOME is a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the sky perspective photographer. I have his book at home and it’s the best photography book I know, it has been opened many times by me and friends of mine. The special thing about this release is, that it will be in over 50 countries on the same day and in different formats: movie theatres, TV and DVD.
Brussels DG Environment is planning a special screening of the film at the RESIDENCE PALACE – 155 Rue de la Loi at 5pm. I will definitely go. Let me know if you want to join as well. You will need to register in advance with an e-mail to basha@unric.org
Otherwise you can also watch it online or on TV.

Hi,
I’ve watched ‘Home’ only last Tuesday and was thrived by the images and the music in the movie. A real piece of artwork – even if the CO2 impact of this movie is probably considerable as well…
What I like a lot is that the move does not only point out the problems but it actually ends with a positive mention of some good initiatives that are out there.
‘It’s too late to be negative’ is one of the key messages with wich the film ends…
So let’s get started and do our part to save the planet
Cheers,
Mira

I came accross this video today, which shows in a nice animation the tipping point of global warming and how everything is inter-related. IMHO worth watching

I must say, I absolutely love this blog. Could let me know how I can go about keeping up to date with it? I feel I should let you know I stumbled upon this site through Google.
