Here are some movies and series that not only help us understand the privilege of living on this planet, but also guide us to contribute to its ecological well-being.

Future thought
Cowspiracy: The sustainability secret is a film by Kip Andersen that delves into the impact of animal rearing on environment. Be is greenhouse gas emissions, damage to our oceans, deforestation or water use, it looks at various concerns.

While fashion is the foremost things on the minds of millennials, River Blue might be a wake-up call. The film uncovers and documents the damage caused to world’s water supplies by the fashion industry. Canadian conservationist Dr Mark Angelo goes on a three-year river journey to highlight the same.
