Home is a video by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, speaking of how the earth came to being and all life was formed. The video in its varied forms tells us how the earth’s resources are depleting day in and day out and the reasons for the same are we humans. Destroyers of all!!
As known by all, in the beginning the earth was a mass of nothingness. But gradually, over a period of years life began to form from the bacteria that fed off the earth’s heat. Life altered the atmosphere. It got its energy from the sun. Life is a link between innumerable life forms that have succeeded over the years. No one can live all by themselves.

But when realisation hit, it was already too late. And so the governments of various countries took the initiative to try and preserve whatever they could of the environment. The sun is an abundant source of energy. We much learn how to make the best possible use of this resource. Now programs exists that guarantee sustainable forest management. But they
