RE: Benedict Cumberbatch doc How to Live on Earth

@gimmeedaball

Although I truly appreciate documentaries like this, it is like preaching to the choir. Those causing the problems don’t watch them I’m afraid.

Rockets exploding, wars nobody asked for, celebrity space minute-trips, AI draining water resources… we can collectively recycle our rubbish, do the black-blue-brown bins for centuries and it still would be akin to a dart on an elephant when you consider the unchecked and destructive behaviours of a few billionaires who have all the wealth but little common sense when it comes to sustainability and this planet.

Knowing that the powers-that-be view the mighty dollar as more important than species diversity, healthy habitats, clean air and water and nature’s incredible beauty chips a little more of my soul away with each passing day.

Me and my son have got to know Sam and Demi and they have become our friends. We have seen Sam at rock bottom, now it’s amazing seeing him rise to the top – he has worked so bloody hard to improve his life and we are so proud of you Sam! You are very talented.

Sam was always nice whenever I saw him and spoke to me when my mental health was really awful on a few occasions. Used to walk my very old dog with his dog when she was a pup. Glad to see him doing better!
