when i first watched this 3 years ago, i burst into tears. here i am, again, crying.

[@Jane_lotus]

Feel the same way 😭

[@sujay_nature_travel]

Yes... But people who really want to save environment must come together

[@AngelaManno]

Me too.

[@Rabastan]

I feel despair and sadness. I know we can't fall in apathy but it's so difficult the hottest year after the hottest year.

[@chadwagner8497]

Please, find just 1 person......1 person, sit them down, and ask them to watch this documentary, to turn there cell phones off, and give their unconditional attention to the information in the documentary, and at the end whether they agree, disagree, or frankly just don't care. Make them promise that they 2 will find 1 person.........just 1 person, sit them down,................AND ASK THEM TO DO THE SAME!

Whenever I watch this I got tears into my eyes. The episode of 'Racing Extinction' particularly this footage change my whole life. Now I am in the road to protect the animals for the betterment of planet Earth.

Can we do something together

I'm a teacher and I show this to my students at least once a year

[@AngelaManno]

Thank you

[@ruei-jiunhung2887]

I always get emotional when listening to J. Goodall's remark in this video. Tears in my eyes again..

[@AngelaManno]

Me too.

[@dpressso]

i remember watching this 500000 times when it came out

[@AngelaManno]

Me too. And I just watched it again a couple of times.

[@paige393]

Still makes me tear up after three years of watching this

[@AngelaManno]

Me too

[@elainemcnielking1804]

the documentary that this is from is very moving. I watched it and considered becoming a vegetarian but then I thought me not eating meat isn't going to stop people killing animals. I do fear for my children and grandchildren's future. I hope that our generation can make the world a better place.

[@joosjebleeker194]

Just let other generations fix the problems we made? How is that a respectable mindset?! Just like they say here... 'it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness'. If Martin Luther King or Ghandi thought like you, nothing would have ever changed for the better. Everything you do has an effect on the world, going veg(eteri)an is the least you can do.

[@arianacosta3984]

How could you think like this? You are the problem.

[@vesan4793]

@@joosjebleeker194 Absolutely...... I wholeheartedly agree with you... and I consume neither fish nor meat......for this very reason.....

[@gabrielledennis549]

Start eating more lean meats like chicken and turkey. Cows take up more space and actually create a bit of methane pollution.

[@rixonjose44]

What is the name of that documentary?

Yes. He participated in the project (and released his own doc 'before the flood' soon after) :)

[@tessa3217]

You can do your bit too! Revisit every single aspect of your day to day activities and see how it contributes to excess waste (plastic especially), it's carbon emissions and to the best of your ability try and control them. I've stopped using single use plastics and keep the amount of water I use to bathe at a bare minimum. I also switched to cloth pads. These small, small changes go a long way :)

[@frankie1233]

I get so angry at us as a species because some people work so hard and are so aware of these dangers and try so hard to stop them but if not everyone helps and takes this seriously everyday then this world is in MAJOR trouble.

[@AngelaManno]

The whole population of the Earth is not needed to effect major change. It's estimated about 10% of the population is needed to make a major shift. That's good news.

[@garywhite3209]

Can some explain to me what charging money for the gas I and all mammals exhale is gonna save the world? Don't plants breath in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen? Not trying to fight, just curious

[@dschwartzman]

Gary, there's such a thing as OVERLOAD, or TOO MUCH. It's not human and animal exhalation that's causing climate change (even though human overpopulation is the undercurrent which drives so much of it); it's the gaseous emissions from burning fossil fuels (e.g., heating oil, gasoline, jet fuel, coal for power plants, etc.) and meat production (methane) that is the problem. It's good that you're curious. Do a little research and/or exploration. For more than a century, there's been no cost to the producers of energy and meat for the damage to the environment, planet (people and animals, ocean, rivers, etc.) that the products (or their) use cause. Factoring in the costs would help reduce consumption and help offset the cost of the damage. Of course, much damage that is ongoing now may be irreparable (loss of biodiversity).

[@garywhite3209]

Thank you. I'm far from supporting these huge companies that put profit over life. I just worry that they'll get out of it and we'll be the ones actually paying

[@thewanderingclousers7560]

[@song9028]

It is heartbreaking to sadly know the truth that we are losing our animal friends every day. Over a year ago when learning the German language I put this video into my German presentation, the theme of which is "Aussterben von Tieren(Extinction of Animals)" and got the best note, but I actually know it is never just a THEME to talk about, but a severe situation happening around us. A pathetic TRUTH that we should do something to prevent, or at least just slow it down. Japanese people are still hunting whales to eat and pouring the by nuclear material polluted water in the pacific ocean. Can't imagine how many species living in the water will suffer and die from it. You should be ashame of yourself, japan

[@AngelaManno]

People are more aware than ever. Take heart. Help organizations like the Center for Biological Diversity, The Half Earth Project, and Oceanic Preservation Society...
