Comments on: Hope in a Changing Climate – Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in China, Ethiopa, and Rwanda http://holeinthedonut.com/2010/02/02/ecosystem-restoration-china-africa/ Discovering the world, one culture at a time Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark H http://holeinthedonut.com/2010/02/02/ecosystem-restoration-china-africa/comment-page-1/#comment-6892 Mark H Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:50:16 +0000 http://holeinthedonut.com/?p=10159#comment-6892 What a moving and uplifting video. Too many climate change shows I've seen over the last few years seem to big on the scare campaign but little on the solution, making for negative shows. This one is far better and I am pleased that you raised such an excellent video on your blog. What a moving and uplifting video.

I haven't watched the video yet - but that's on my weekend plans! It's strange as an American to travel around the world and see people farming just to feed themselves; Nepal, Mongolia, Philippines, Peru, Vietnam - and many more. As Americans we have no idea what that's like. Thanks for bringing visibility to an important topic. I haven’t watched the video yet – but that’s on my weekend plans!

There were more run-off ponds full of fertilizer and algae scum around the Yangzi River that its no wonder the dolphins there are dead, not to mention all the people who drink that (poorly purified) water or vegetables watered in it, etc. Really a sad story, but one has to be hopeful.

It took me ages to see the whole film (I could strangle my Internet provider). It is so interesting and the changes over a relatively short period are very dramatic, especially in Ethiopia. My gosh, governments talks at climate conferences - and nothing happens. It just goes to show that we as individuals have to take action. I posted it on UTDs FB site as well as tweeted and stumbled it. I think everybody should see it. http://tinyurl.com/yaet95e Thank you Barbara for bringing it to my attention.
