Experiencing Interruptions?

This Is Not Earth

What comes to mind when you hear the word "Earth"? "This Is Not Earth", a nearly 50-minute documentary, highlights the lack of sustainability in daily human activities. The documentary features interviews with leaders from all facets of the community: students, activists, professors, and corporate representatives. Each present unique perspectives on the topic, given their diverse experiences; however, the ultimate message boils down to the importance of taking small steps towards a cumulative goal. Of greatest significance is the message presented in the title, one which is echoed throughout the documentary, regarding the need for young leaders to take ownership of their environment. We must make sustaining this Earth our responsibility before we lose our home to human destruction.
