National Geographic – Earth Report 2008
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008.
As the Earth turns another year older in 2007, our planet has seen 8 billion metric tonnes of carbon released into its atmosphere 90 million tonnes of fish pulled out of its oceans and 11 billion trees toppled on its land. Tracking everything from carbon emissions to reforestation projects, Earth Report: State of the Planet rates how nations have impacted our world – both positively and negatively – in 2007.
This annual year in review exposes the stories and the science in ways you have not seen before. Earth Report uses a combination of original and stock footage, satellite images, amateur videos, and graphics to tell the story. It is presented in a provocative style.
A look at the events that have swept our planet in 2007 and the effect they have had on the landscape, the atmosphere and the human race.

This was a fantastic video, although it did make me completely depressed at the waste our species has done to our only planet. While I’m glad more and more countries are trying to counteract the destructive nature, I fear it may be too little too late unless we all work together. Yet I feel greed will keep many from that goal.
