NASA Earth Day Video Contest 2011 - One Earth by Fiona Conn

"This planet, this... mote of dust... captures us in its sway, its beauty inspiring us, reminding us of what goes unexplored... on our own tiny world.... and of our unity as a species, all of us born on the same point of light...."

Fiona, this video is amazingly beautiful and moving. I wish everyone on the planet could watch what you've made because perspective and knowledge are so very important. Thank you.

Also everyone on this planet should see this or similar, it would help.

That was very nice but it does not ease my sadness of the way we choose to exist on this planet, I think that the majority of humanity is still quite primitive and we are too slow in improving our lives and because of this there is too much needless suffering, the solutions are available to us now, we just all together have to be brave but this is not happening and I think won't happen for a long time because we are too set in our ways, this is what upsets me the most.
