We will be celebrating American Thanksgiving two weeks from tomorrow. This thought-provoking presentation is a great reminder to appreciate what we have.
This presentation never ceases to amaze me. Something else to consider...
The earth stopped being able to provide the needs of all of the people on the planet in 1991. It can no longer provide enough food, water, space etc. to meet its population. Now take into consideration that our population is growing expoentially. Also think about how much fresh water, space and food we have in North America... It sure makes you appreciate what we have.
It also helps us to realize why teh rest of the world depends on us and expects us to suport them. They are in grave situations.
One last think to consider... in the animal world, when one of the basic needs is not met there is a natural process of dying, whether it be sickness, starvation or being killed off to put nature back into balance. Scientists believe it is just a matter of time for the human race to be put back into balance...

Wow!
I think I saw this on Cathy's blog a year or so ago, but it had the same impact on me this time around as it did when I first saw it.
