Green The Film

From Green The Film

Finally was able to watch a film I had been meaning to watch since I first heard about it in June, called "Green The Film". I encourage you all to watch it. I know some people don't really realise the effect we are having on this earth, that things don't seem different at home, so we must be doing ok still, but I hope that this film will make you realise otherwise. Although some of the shots (or a lot of them) are shown, I am sure, to pull on our heart strings, it is still not an exaggeration. Oil Palm plantations can go as far as the eye can see, and then some, and there is no way that all that area that was once forest could be cleared without killing or removing animals from their home. So even though things might seem to be fine at our home, they aren't in their homes.

Please realise that so much of what we do in the comforts of our supermarkets and shops is directly influencing the forests of (in particular) Indonesia and Malaysia, the largest exporters of oil palm in the world.

The photo I've added is just a screen shot from the credits of the film - have a good look through the list and you will undoubtedly recognise many names.

And please watch the film - it is free to watch on the website http://www.greenthefilm.com/
