Whilst I agree there is much abuse of Animals today, I look to the Inuit and American Lakota who's very survival depended on Seals and Buffalo. They revered and worshipped the animals who's life that had taken and would take on the spirit and characteristics of that animal in song and dance so as not to forget the cycle of life that sustains them. Remember plants can't grow in ice and snow. Every living organism will eventually end up in the mouth of another!

I am always baffled by how when one person says they do something for themselves, that others argue against it as if that person were demanding that all people follow them or die.

"What? she doesn't want kids? That will never work!"

@michaelriver23 I think what she meant was, by her not having children she wont contribute to overpopulization. I dont think she advocates that humans should go extinct. In about 60 years well be 12billion people on this earth, and thats a problem. Some cultures advocates having 5-7children, which isn't a good idea in the long run.

yes i agree with that woman she should not have children or others like her but to normal people have loads of kids they r ur best investment.

That is a sterile existence, thoughts like that completely break the course of civilization. have children, teach them, give this energy to a new generation, create a snowball effect, what kind of thought is that? I think the key ingredient in changing a society is how you raise the children that will inherit it, nothing will ever change in a single generation. That is an irresponsible thought. Sorry if i am rambling, pretentious ignorance gets under my skin.

0:58 - What?! Don't have children?? that is not a solution

I don´t believe in climate change, but maybe they´ve got a point in there.

Stuff like what the people on the march were talking about should all be done, regardless of climate change. It's just sensible.

Strange to think the Conservatives are now advocating local co-op's and the like.

Sanford walk Sounds quite nice, one letter short of hot fuzz.
