How To Live On Earth attempts to answer this question \u2013\u00a0positioning itself as the world\u2019s greatest How To\u2026 video. It\u2019s a film that demands our attention, and, with a little help from Cumberbatch\u2019s starpower and charismatic presentation, will leave some big questions ringing in our ears.<\/p>\n
How do we value nature, live alongside and with nature<\/a>, how do we feel human again?<\/p>\n \u201cIn huge parts of China and other intensive agricultural areas of the world, insect pollinators are largely missing due to factors like the heavy use of pesticides. One simple solution is to make favourable conditions for the natural pollinators to return,\u201d says Fredi Devas, producer and director of How To Live On Earth.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, the response to try and build drones to do the work of pollinators not only baffled me but also scared me. That is not an image of a healthy, thriving future that I want for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The trailer for new documentary film How To Live On Earth<\/p>\n Devas continues: \u201cFor this film I travelled to many Indigenous communities. And all of them made clear that they depend on the natural world and so they look after it. They see themselves as part of nature as opposed to being apart from it. That key shift in perspective for many of us could lead to huge changes that mean we leave our planet in a healthier state for the next generation.<\/p>\n \u201cA key question raised in the film is how we value nature. For example, at the moment, trees are often worth more money when cut down and sold as timber, rather than for all the services that a living tree provides \u2014 such as drawing down carbon, cleaning the air, and providing homes for pollinators. We hope this film will highlight the extraordinary value of living nature and inspire greater action to protect and restore it.\u201d<\/p>\n The story of drones replacing the humans that replaced the bees is just one example of where we are going wrong. Watching this smart, witty, provocative collection of tales from across the planet is not a bad place to start correcting our course. <\/p>\n HOW TO LIVE ON EARTH<\/a> is in select cinemas from June 26<\/p>\n Do you have a story to tell or opinions to share about this?\u00a0Get in touch and tell us more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Change a vendor\u2019s life.<\/p>\n Buy from your local Big Issue vendor every week \u2013 and always take the magazine.
