ON SITE Al Gore's new thinking on the climate crisis Nobel laureate Al Gore presents a talk (filmed February 2008) presenting evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists recently predicted. He challenges us to act.   The 2010 Biodiversity Target (Action Now for Life on Earth) was agreed by all Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2002: “to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth.”  350 is the red line for human beings, the most important number on the planet. The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth.  The Story of Bottled Water This 7 minute film explores the bottled water industry's attacks on tap water safety and its use of seductive, environmental-themed marketing to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces.
