Welcome on our planet... What is not always easy, I understand you...

When we look at the Earth, today, there are species which adapted successfully to the changes of their natural environment, and others which failed. The Man is unfortunately obliged to confront itself with changes which, compared to all the human history, accelerate the question even of its survival. The population of the Human grows quickly, exhausting the reserves of food, energies and fresh water, and our nations compete more and more for the access to these necessary fundamental. The nice competitiveness of the departure is transformed today into hostile conflict, bringing to humanity an another type of war. The Man arrived at a stage of his evolution, where the law of the strongest cannot exist any more, because it generates ecological and human catastrophes so much, that it will end up destroying it. The consumption of energy of the Man, mainly, in the building, the car and industry makes emit in the atmosphere 4 times more carbon dioxide than we would not have. But we can take, thanks to technical progress, the way of the sustainable development which, beyond the only material progress, can answer to all the human aspirations without starting the inheritance of the future generations. If the serious challenges of our humanity are inevitable and form part of our human condition, we can see our dreams being carried out, by taking up the largest challenge which faces our humanity : our choice of direction for the future and how to protect the human life.

To sensitize the economic decision makers and actors, to identify the levers of change, to contribute to locate the choices of today from the point of view of the possible futures is a vast mission that HUMANBE and HUMANWORLDCITY decided to register in the duration.

The problem, today, is that the tenants in charge to direct the planet and by the same, this society of consumption, consider that the wasting, superfluity, and the redundancy are engines of companies centered on the development and the innovating initiative. They defend the point of view which the search of superfluity would be one of the characteristics which would distinguish the human being from the animal, limited in its waitings, needs, desires and aspirations. They also think to make more resistant objects, would increase their cost and their lifespan, which would harm consumption then.

But all the human do not have the possibility of appeasing their desires, because it do not gain sufficient money to be able to allow it, and overconsumption entraine damage not only environmental and medical, but also social and economic. This is why, with an unrestrained consumerism, we prefer a consom'action or responsible consumption. It expresses the idea according to which we can choose to whom we give our money, while choosing to consume either only in manner consumerist, but by holding account of a "sustainable development" which puts the human at the heart of the environmental, social and economic problems, without privileging one more than one other. Its execution conditions, our employment, our food, our consumption, our displacements, our cities, our residences, our taxes, our roads, our leisures, etc.

Today, it is true that for the human, a new adventure starts. The road is still long, and we are persuaded that each one on his level, we can contribute to make rock the humanity "of the good dimensions"... You are right to doubt all information that one communicates to you. Recut them. Ridges to work your critical spirit. and ridges you your own opinion. I only wish, while writing to you, to change this world, and not to induce you in error. And if it were the case, don't hesitate to say it to me...

I agree with your sentiment, but this video doesn't evoke that for me. It seems to be more focused on western culture and hyper-consumerism.
