Heart


HEART

I chanced upon a very short video, which is just a little over a minute, on Youtube from the “Bedtime Stories” campaign on Act on CO2 that I found very interesting and intriguing.  To view the video, please click on this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dOfBEm5DZU. The video is an effective info-graphic and thought-provoking material.  Technically, it was well prepared… the plot and scenes were very pleasing and effective.  The graphics appealed well to the younger audience and the present generation of grown ups could also relate to the story line.

What I particularly appreciated was the fact that the video only outlined the possible solutions to addressing the pollution problems and left the decision to the viewer to choose the constructive solutions to their environmental problems.  This should be the case… rather than force people to do things, it’s better to leave them to figure things out for themselves.  I believe that as people synthesize and understand things the way they should be, people become more committed since the compulsion comes from within and not because some authority said so.  On the other hand, rules and regulations could also be forced upon people but subservience and dictation is never a sustainable condition.  People will (of course) follow but only out of compliance… it is way better to get them to follow because they understand why they should.  And, most ideally, man should follow because it is the dictates of his heart.

Just my little thoughts…
