Russia’s forests under threat | DW Documentary

[@nc01sadh]

After watching this documentary, I realized how important it is to teach about environment conservation to kids in elementary school, after all they are the future leaders, businessmen, corporation. At the very least, even if they want to make money they will not be aware about mitigating secondary problems from harnessing natural resources. You can clearly see, from the documentary that businessmen and corporations have real disconnection about subsequent hazards that give birth from harnessing natural resources. If they had watch those documentaries when they were kids at least they would have strong emotional connection of being mindful about resource extraction.

Both the structure and function of a tree is l i t e r a l l y a lung turned inside out. The trunk is the bronchial tube, the loadbearing branches are the bronchi, the leafbearing branches are the bronchioles and the leafs are alveoli - or your lungs, by structure and function, are literally two trees.

It's a realization that came to me as I sat by a tree breathing and trying to imagine the oxygen from the tree going into my lungs with each inhalation while the CO2 from my exhalation in turn being absorbed by the tree. Sort of like rinsing a handfull of mudpellets in a stream of water to see the dissolved mud flowing out between the fingers and suddenly seeing one of them is actually a gemstone, I don't know if that makes sense. Suddenly there was just no real separation between me and the tree anymore, sitting there in this vital connection of mutual breathing. Crazy, I know.

[@visnuexe]

We have to thank the Russian conservationists who risk emprisonment to advance the cause of land conservation and for their demands to clean up the polluted places that displace Indigenous people from their stewardship of these places. Kudos to DW for working with such groups to document these monumental problems. Is it too much to ask the Russian government to consider their exploitation of these resources as a threat against humanity? When Americans and Canadians did the same to their forests, their greed was only promoted as an economic boon to those areas until those impacts became known as to their detrimental effects on all of humanity. We are all in this struggle together. Transitioning away from unfettered exploitation of natural resources has to close with the will of the world to enforce agreements made by our countries to curtail damaging exploitation. It isn't going to be easy, as these wars over resources around the world play out. And people don't see this relationship of climate change as being the source for wars for resources!

@@XNY_Music have you ever heard about work? It’s like a mutual agreement where you pay someone this thing called money and they do things for you so you can make money. Many people do it over and over again all over the world.

[@XNY_Music]

@@Lepocoloco I admire the fact that you are defending a position, even though you are missing the point that you just made. A person goes to work to make something. the item costs 10 Units to make including parts and labour and it sells for 15 Units. The person who employs the worker to make the item makes 5 Units of profit out of the effort of the worker. That 's called profit. Sure the employer had to find the work, set up the work place and provide the tools to do the job, but that is included in the cost of making the item. The person who buys the item knows they might be able to make the item themselves and probably for the same price but out of convenience they pay the price quoted. that's a simplified way to explain profit. When you scale up production you can increase your profits and then you look for ways to increase your profits further by cutting your costs, lowering wages and using cheaper tools to increase profits further. Do you understand?

[@jockmoron]

"Putin wants to score ecological points"? That's a bit of a churlish way of putting it. When Germany is closing its nuclear power plant, is that "scoring ecological points"? Or perhaps actually wanting to something positive? (Not that I agree with closing them, and still burning lignite) However, there are obvious severe problems, as you illustrate. Germany? So far, opencast lignite mining has altered 179,490 hectares of countryside in Germany. Since 1924, 313 settlements have been lost to lignite mines in Germany. 50% of Germany's imported hard coal (Germany no longer mines hard coal) comes from, guess where? Russia. Don't get me wrong, environmental destruction, greed are all wrong, wherever they occur - Brazil, the Appalachians, Africa, Indonesia. It is heartening that brave people in Russia are trying to stand up to big business and corruption, as they do in so many other parts of the world. However, I have come to the conclusion there is no now chance that humanity will actually deal to these matters, and that within the next 100 years, several billion people will die or be displaced or will be killed in resource wars.
