We need to SAVE THE EARTH or We will all die...

The most successful conservation efforts are the ones that take local people and their economy into account. We benefit from (and take for granted) the services provided by local ecosystems. Solutions to global warming, etc, start in our own back yards.

I think this idea is ok, though it is not the way forward to understanding life and how it interacts. Life existed before man ruined the landscape, we should understand the consequences but its only one small aspect.

wow red car parking was the best drift in the entire video. Look at the precision alignment they parked in too. Getting it "close" is easy, but having them all evenly spaced, aligned, and equidistant from the curb is... well... impressive at least.
