"Please listen to me.
You are a homosapiens like me...you are a smart person...
Life, the miracle of the universe, emerged about 4 billion years ago. We humans only 200,000 years ago. Yet we have upset the balance that is essential for life. LISTEN TO THIS OUTSTANDING STORY! THIS IS YOUR STORY AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO WRITE THE END!..." The documentary HOME was shot in 54 countries in 217 days. In 2009, the documentary directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, which draws attention to the ecological balance disrupted by human beings, is a magnificent visual feast. I highly recommend watching it on a big screen TV with NTV's Turkish translation. I have watched it dozens of times and recommended it to hundreds of people, each time I finished it in tears. It tells the formation of our 4 billion year old planet, the diversity of the life cycle from the first bacteria and algae to the present day, the emergence of the miracle called life, after the formation of the planet, nature and trees, water, air, atmosphere in 4 billion years; After all these miracles of the universe, it tells the story of the emergence of human beings, who entered the story only 200 thousand years ago...
He explains that there are no losers in nature, the place and necessity of every living thing in nature, that there is not a single harmful creature and the balance of the universe. And he says: "By parceling out every corner of the natural environment despite all its defenselessness, you have done something that no other creature has ever attempted!" Since the creation of planet Earth, the water cycle has never been disturbed. Waterfalls, water vapor, clouds, rain, natural springs, rivers, seas, oceans and glaciers. This cycle has never been broken and there has always been the same amount of water on earth. Even today we actually drink the same water. The locomotive of life is a chain. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. Water and air are inseparable. They work hand in hand for our lives. In this universe, sharing is everything...
And our world has an equilibrium in which each being has a different role, each dependent on the other, and a Frail harmony that is INTELLIGENTLY PLANNED but can easily be destroyed. Trees also took 4 billion years to form. The architect of a perfect life, trees are the most important link in the species chain. After 4 billion years, their leaves, branches and fruits decayed and formed humus soil, microorganisms fed and aerated this soil and formed fertile soil layers. While these were formed over billions of years, we human beings have destroyed 50% of the forests in the last 10,000 years and sacrificed the fertile soil in the balding areas to erosion by rain and floods. We have wiped out fish and seafood. We have hunted out of season, even in hunting grounds, and exterminated hundreds of animals." You are using a glorious heritage left by the Earth that is 4 billion years old! Today you are only 200,000 years old and you have changed the face of the earth!" the producer of the documentary laments.
Melting glaciers, global warming, the risk of methane gas, greenhouse gases... Petrochemicals, wars, famines, famines, droughts, literally, well done, human beings!
"Humankind has less than 10 years to change this course and save life on Earth from extinction. We cannot control the balance that we have destroyed with our own hands. The glaciers are dying every day. Climates have changed. Very soon the sea level will rise and many places will be in the sea and sea water will mix with fresh water. If the permafrost in Siberia and Greenland warms up, methane gas may be able to penetrate the entire atmosphere with its greenhouse effect. We all originate from water, air and other life forms. But we have severed these connections and it is time to face the facts. All of this is a reflection of human behavior. We have shaped the world to our heart's content. THE WORLD CANNOT BEAR THE BURDEN OF 7 BILLION PEOPLE ANYMORE. WE HAVE LESS TIME TO CHANGE!"
20% of the world population consumes 80% of the resources. The world spends 12 times more on MILITARY EXPENSES than on aid to developing countries. 5000 people are polluted every day.
They die from drinking water. 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water and another 1 billion are waiting for it. Half of the world's river trade is for animal feed and half of the sea trade is for war materials. 13 billion hectares of forests burn down every year. 1 in 4 mammals and 1 in 8 birds are threatened with extinction. Species are dying 1000 times faster than normal. Three quarters of fish and forest hunting grounds have been depleted. 40% of arable land has been damaged by chemical pesticides and petrochemical fertilizers. Since 1950, the world population has tripled. The average temperatures of the last 15 years have been the highest ever recorded. "It is up to us to write the next scene! All together... Stop digging in the earth, look up to the sky, turn your face to the sun! Be more sharing, softer, more moderate, take a lesson! It's time to unite!
IT'S NOT WHAT'S LOST, IT'S WHAT'S LEFT!
We still own half of the world's forests. So are thousands of seas, lakes, glaciers and species.
The solutions are within our reach.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE.
SO WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
IT IS UP TO US TO WRITE THE NEXT SCENE...
TOGETHER..."
In 2009, the documentary ended with these hopeful human pleas. Nothing has changed. Everything seems to be getting worse and is set to get worse. The world is prone to chemical wars, oil and mineral wars, even water wars... "Don't fall for the games and schemes of arms dealers, smugglers, blood drinkers who profit from war, and the 1% world trusts that exploit all the people of the world! We have SEEN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA WHERE THEY BRINGED DEMOCRACY! It's THE TURN OF DEMOCRACY IN THE SOUTHEAST AND TURKEY! The poorest countries in the world are the African countries where diamond and gold mines and oil veins lie in abundance. They are in abject poverty. Will the so-called(!) bring democracy and give you the MINES AND OIL DEPOSITS UNDERNEATH? WAKE UP PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!!! WAKE UP MY TURKEY!!! IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE!!! WE CAN STILL BE UNITED! WE CAN BE ONE! THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE...
