Earth Day Video

[ruffers]

Possibly a strange request. It's World Earth Day next week and I have been asked to find a short, 10-15 minute, English language video which could be shown in offices all over Europe to reinforce the message of environmental awareness and concern. The audience is typically people in their twenties.

I've started going through youtube but it occured to me there may be some people on here with some ideas on this and recommendations, I'm starting from scratch.

Any recommendations?

thanks

Good call but much too long.

Thanks

A relevant TED talk would be the right length.

there's a short film (about 6 minutes) called Polar Bear Man which you can get on YouTube - I think it's specifically about climate change but might be relevant.

Thanks, will check it and TED out.

Any more welcome.

Slightly off topic but still relevant for Environmental Awareness (and very watchable):

On the 40th anniversary of the famous ?Blue Marble? photograph taken of Earth from space, Planetary Collective presents a short film documenting astronauts? life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside ? a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview Effect.

The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts? perspective of the planet and mankind?s place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

?Overview? is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.
