David Attenborough Film is a Must See

If you haven’t seen David Attenborough’s latest film called “A Life on Our Planet,” I highly recommend it (available on Netflix). It’s a powerful presentation by an esteemed reporter of the wild things and places on our planet. The first part of the film is how and why we got to the place we are environmentally, then the last part is his views on how and why humans must change the way we do business if we want to prosper as humans.

The trailer for the film is available at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64R2MYUt394 

Attenborough’s interview on 60 Minutes also does a nice introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li5Xi9mIvDg
