Big Universe, Little Planet, Lots of People
To see just how large this universe is and how small this planet is have a look at pictures taken by the HUBBLE SPACE PROGRAM
For interesting thoughts on the laws of the universe, listen to or read the following:
ALAN WATTS

And as lots of people doodle along on our little planet we seem prone to short term thinking and instant gratification:
OIL CRASH THE MOVIE explores the notion of oil supplies having peaked
WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR is a film by Chris Paine exploring the arrival and demise of the seemingly perfect car in the mid-90s.
WHY WE FIGHT
THE END OF SUBURBIA
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH
ENRON
THE CORPORATION
11TH HOUR
It seems it's not just actors and 'raving liberal lunatics' who are considering the present situation of our little planet. The business world is taking stock too:
MURDOCH GOES GREEN
BRANSON INVESTING PROFITS INTO RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH

FLEX YOUR POWER
SOLAR
BIODIESEL
SCI FI VISIONS FOR TOMORROW
NEWLANDZ
EV WORLD
PLUG IN AMERICA

ADOPT A BEACH
OCEAN CONSERVANCY

FISHSTOCKS FALL 90% SINCE 1950
It would be nice not to have the rest of what's left asphyxiate on plastic bags or starve to death as a result of feeling 'full'
As we head toward replacing the fish in the seas with plastic it may be an idea to consider the notion of biodegradable plastics
