Call Of Life - Facing The Mass Extinction

[Binkie The Clown]

http://calloflife.org

All over the world species are becoming extinct at an astonishing rate, from 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than normal. The loss of biodiversity has become so severe that scientists are calling it a mass extinction event.

Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction is the first feature documentary to investigate the growing threat to Earth’s life support systems from this unprecedented loss of biodiversity. Through interviews with leading scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and indigenous and religious leaders, the film explores the causes, the scope, and the potential effects of the mass extinction, but also looks beyond the immediate causes of the crisis to consider how our cultural and economic systems, along with deep-seated psychological and behavioral patterns, have allowed this situation to develop, continue to reinforce it, and even determine our response to it.

Call of Life tells the story of a crisis not only in nature, but also in human nature, a crisis more threatening than anything human beings have ever faced before.

2. 6th Mass Extinction has already begun.

The 6th Mass Extinction can be slowed but not stopped. Homo sapiens are a constant destroyer of all things. Continued overpopulation growth will finish off this planet.

4. And where are all the so-called "Pro-Life" people?

Voting for Republicans who support measures that accelerate the extinction of life, of course.

5. Really important info, thank!

At some point the ecological systems that support us will collapse unless we change how we live. And it isn't just by buying organic that will get us past this (although this is a good thing), it's our economic system that needs to change. The film does a good job of explaining this and why we don't here more about this in the media.
