Give the gift of appreciation

For those loved ones of yours who may be on the fence about caring for the planet, give the gift of Earthly appreciation this holiday season. The BBC has collected amazing scenes from around the globe in a 5-disc set called Planet Earth. From mountain peaks to oceanic depths, the images remind us how incredible, yet fragile, our planet is. Even for someone like myself who cares for the well-being of our home, I was continually awe-struck. The first four DVDs show animals and planets from around the globe. The fifth DVD sheds light on man's impact on the planet and potential consequences. If you decide to obtain this DVD set, I encourage you to check out some environmentally-less-harmful and cost-effective methods. I'll leave you with a quote from Amazon.com UK:
As befits the BBC’s reputation for producing some of the world’s best nature documentaries, the five-disc set Planet Earth is an epic travelogue, focussing on different ecologies and the unique animals that inhabit them. Once again, Sir David Attenborough provides the narration, as the cameras fly across the surface of the earth, zooming in to give us a bug’s eye view one minute, zooming out to give us an eagle’s perspective the next. The BBC’s cameramen filmed more than 200 locations, resulting in some truly spectacular footage, much of which has never before been seen.
