After Capitalism – David Schweickart

After watching documentaries like Home, I try to think of solutions to problems like deforestation in Haiti. I don’t really have an answer, but there are people who have good ideas about what should be done. David Schweickart at Loyola University Chicago provides many ideas about how countries like Haiti could repair themselves. He also talks about the future of the world’s economy. I believe that capitalism will not last forever, and new ideologies will eventually replace it. Schweickart talks about a potential replacement in this video: Life is Possible After Capitalism. For more information, read his book After Capitalism.

Home (2009)

I enjoy watching documentaries about Earth. Yesterday I watched Home (2009), directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. This film contains many nice panoramic visuals of locations around the globe. As you are watching these scenes the narrator takes you through the story of life and evolution.

Watch Home here on YouTube.

Earth From Space – NOVA

Well done NOVA. Earth From Space, a NOVA documentary detailing the information revealed about Earth through satellites, is a must see. The visual images of the atmospheric processes and natural phenomenon are the best I have seen and really show the inter-connectedness of the environmental processes on Earth.
