A hymn for the planet

HOME is an ode to the planet's beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth - our Earth - as we have never seen it before. Every image shows the Earth's treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. "From the sky, there's less need for explanations". Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional. HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)


In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

More than a movie, HOME will be a major event around the globe: for the first time ever, a film will be released on the same day in over 50 countries.

June 5th 2009, World Environment Day has been chosen as the highly symbolic date for this simultaneous, and free of charge, release on every format: movie theatre, TV, DVD and Internet. The aim of director Yann Arthus-Bertrand, distributor Luc Besson and François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of PPR, the film's official sponsor, is to reach the widest possible audience, and to convince us all of our individual and collective responsibility towards the planet.

ON JUNE 5th WE ALL HAVE A DATE WITH THE PLANET!

Please share this movie with your friends and family and tell them to share it with others.

DUMMER. LIKE NOTHING ELSE!


I found this awesome website the other day - tagadummer.com.  It's all about how Hummers are absolutley ridiculous vehicles and how environmentally irresponsible and plain dumb it is for people to own one.  In an attempt to educate Hummer owners on the offensiveness of their vehicle choice the website is asking anyone who sees a Hummer to cover up the H with a homemade D and create a Dummer.  (Well legally speaking the creators of the website aren't asking you to do anything- what you choose to do is your responsibility haha.)  You can actually grab your own pre-designed Ds from a download template on the website.  Different sizes are available and the font matches the actual Hummer font design.  Tagging made easy!  Don't forget to post photos of your handiwork to the website and do be careful cause it actually is still vandalism.  

I haven't tagged my first Dummer yet.  There are lots of them in Dubai, but my girlfriend is worried that the owner will be some high up local who will have me thrown in jail and deported.  I know I'm too stealth to get caught (physically), but who knows what spies are lurking in this neck of the woods.  She makes a good point too.  Supposedly some Brito dude got deported for flipping the bird!  Ah democracy- how I miss thee.

If you are reading this back home in New Zealand you probably won't be able to get too involved.  Dummers don't really exist.  I think Kiwis as a whole are too environmentally-conscious to buy a Dummer.  That and the fact that if you did own a Dummer you can be sure some hippies would do more than tag a D on it!  Nah give me a Ford any day mate!  Holdens are scum!  Bathurst!  Chicanes!  Petrol petrol petrol!  I find car racing pretty offensive as well by the way. 

One last thing, if you are reading this in the States, particularly in Houston, Texas where my bro and sister-in-law live, just keep in mind the odds that Dummer owners are also gun owners is probably pretty high.  Make sure you've got your running shoes on. 

Here's your classic Dummer owner.  Dumb-ass.


Go Team Dummer Go!
