Indeed, the earth can get by without us. But we cannot survive without it. I love how this documentary was made. Though, I think it would have been better if the other continents were also discussed more and not just focus on North America and some parts of Europe. But still, thank you for this.

It is an inescapable fact that one day, the Earth will no longer be there. We MUST (and I think we will) learn to survive without it. Nothing in this documentary suggests that we can't. If it did it would paint a very negative picture of humanity. The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.

Most places will look exactly the same as the ones depicted on here, they can only fit so much into a one hour documentary.

When you hear in this video that half the small rodents/animals will die because of radiation, and then realise that nearly half have disappeared in real life, it makes you think humanity doesn't have long....!

when i was a kid i used to fantasize about this a lot, the idea of human spaces becoming ruins overtaken by nature and rewilding was such a cool and intriguing concept, i wanted it to happen. years have past and im still so fascinated by it, but i wish people were there to see it

This is what GOD first created the Universe, Beautiful Earth n precious animals before created Sinful himan kind. Thats why i love nature n animals much more than own human kind 🐾🐾🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️

atleast we can observe jungle ruins in south Asia and south America. As well as watch the process unfold in Pripyat.

@arrocete there is a great book called Islands of Abandonment that you might enjoy.

@Sam im taking notes thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary! Very realistic & probably the most accurate depiction of life after humanity.

Yes me too true +1

Many things are wrong here. Plants, trees etc are underrated, animals are overrated. Many speces will die out without humans. The experience with ghost towns show that plants are taking over the cities fast and are the main element to destroy them. It happens within 100 -- 200 years. Animals remain rare. Animals are depending on humans more than we usually think. The totally wild, humanless areas (Siberia etc) lacks animals too.

@margus kiis The reasons animals are rare in siberia is the same why humans are rare there...

@PALKKI TT too much forest, hard to penetrate

@margus kiis Im from Finland and we dont have a problem with all the forest.

A fascinating insight into the planet without humans. Although it covered too much of North America and not enough of the rest of the planet like what happened to the Artic and Antartic, Australia and New Zealand to name a few places. More Documentaries like this please.

Nothing would happen to the pole areas, there'd just be no people there. Exactly the same would happen to Antipodean cities as is shown happening in American ones. The same process would happen all over the world.

Europe would become a lot colder, perhaps by 10-20 degrees Celsius, and the entirety of Europe would become a massive forest, there would be hardly any flat land just a giant woodland, it would have alot of wildlife probably bears. lions and other zoo animals that would evolve. Africa would thrive without humans, animals that are on the brink of extinction like cheetahs, leopards, elephants, rhinos, etc... would be roaming Africa in the millions without human hunting, also a lot of trees would grow, central Africa would become an extremely lush and thriving jungle, whilst southern Africa would remain a savannah but alot more animals and nature would be there. The Amazon rainforest in South America would eventually regrow to its pre-human size and just like Africa, animals like jaguars and capybaras would roam the Amazon rainforest in the millions without human hunting creating a lush thriving first full of wildlife, if we were to visit the Amazon 200-300 years after our disappearance, it would like something from a different planet. Asia would also thrive without us, not really the Middle East, I'm talking about the tropical places of Asia like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand etc... basically what happened in Africa and South America would happen there, the orangutan population in Indonesia would thrive without us, and the Borneo rainforest would be fully restored to its pre-human size within 300-400 years. Australia would become a heaven for reptiles, it pretty much already is, but if we fully disappeared from Australia it would become like something from a dinosaur movie, just like the Amazon, if we visited Australia 200-300 years after our disappearance, it would look like something from a different planet. Antarctica would cool down significantly just like Europe, and all of its ice that we melted would eventually form again, so basically Antarctica would be alot bigger without us, and the polar bear would also be saved from extinction, it would revive itself and number in the millions without us, same with penguins and seals.

I visited a place left to nature to take over some decades ago. Was one of the most interesting experiences I ever had, there was a tree growing inside a house. Most of the walks and roads couldn't be recognized, except for some light posts tumbled around. Really fascinating. Most became nature, absolutely. Some buildings left, but usually everything became green again

Whats the name of a place?

Which place is that

Chernobyl?

@Alex O’Brien thats actually smart guess ngl

Hi people, is inside a park in my hometown, Uberlândia in Brazil. There's no pictures of the abandoned part online, is a part of the park left to the mother nature to take care of many years ago. Part of the zoo and the old buildings was deactivated because the park got bigger, so nature took over.

I think the narrator has made it a more romantic story than it probably would be in life. The radioactivity has been vastly underplayed, the fate of plants and creatures that require assistance to survive far away from their natural habitat, simply won't make it. The management of the land has gone on for so many centuries we have forgotten how dramatically it could change. In the UK alone vast swathes of lowland would return to the marshland it once was, hilly areas would at first be overun with rabbits but they would soon be eaten and the woodland would return with the fringes deeply entangled with brambles which would be hard to penetrate by some animals. Species numbers would change as mice and suchlike would be more easily hidden from view. Would owls and scavengers survive so well? Oil rigs would self destruct and pollute the seas with oil and shore based reactors such as Fukushima spread heavy radioactivity throughout much of the oceans. Anyone who has seen a garden go wild will know how plenty of plant speciies would be suffocated. Walls and fencing would trap or restrict animals. What with the marshes, mile upon mile of forest and, bleak mountainous areas, how many flowers would we see disapear for all time? Storage lagoons of vile chemicals would eventually escape and pollute land, sea and seep down into aquifers. Fires rage unchecked taking out large swathes of unmanaged woodland.

You’re a little Ray of sunshine aren’t you😂😂

@Mark Miller Just realistic : ) ....but I agree, with a touch of gloom. Enjoy, you would have to pay for this at the cinema.!

@Dormices . 👍👍

Look at the place in the Ukraine cant remember the name of it but all the trees animals and plant life are getting along just fine

@Kyle Jerry Owen Do you mean Chernobyl where the nuclear reactor accident happened? If the animals got cancers would anyone know without studying them carefully? Plenty of the humans aparently did.

Am I the only person who thinks the narrator is trying to make this sound somewhat scary or unpleasant, yet I'm just enjoying the fact that nature is taking back it's land

Vai trabalhar

@Billy Ballsup Exactly, politicians and the world billionaires.

@PVV pra que ?

Aren't human beings part of nature? And yap the narrator is making it sounds scary.

Amazing documentary. Thanks to the animators and narrator and everyone who contributed to making this great video.

Assalam alaikum sir

@jeremy emilio lol...

Sorry this is not a documentary, this is SCi-Fi documentaries are made in retrospective, this is theory

I remember 10-year-old me watching a pirated version of this on YouTube back in 2012, and when I understood what the whole premise of the documentary was, I got scared, but fascinated at the same time. I knew none of this was real, and, obviously, no organism can magically disappear without context (unless we’re talking about prehistoric life or near extinct species), but it still shook me. It’s an interesting concept nonetheless.

It’s still scary knowing this will eventually be the case

@Miya Tachibana the only thing is if it happened slowly how many species would we wipe out in our attempt to remain and what planetary damage would we do?.

This documentary is such a hypothetical re-engineering of our beautiful world and provides the front seat experience of how we affect the world and how we can somehow be humble and responsive to other species and powers as we are still here. 🙏

Honestly, the saddest part was when the animals trapped in homes and pens died. Having them being hunted by other animals is just nature, but having them die because we trapped them was just sad.

something about the aquariums hit me kinda hard. Not only are they certainly trapped, but as their lights go out, it's like they are forgotten completely.

Man's the worst and most cruel hunter.

@Frankey 235 yikes dude, we can stil be moved emotionally by make-believe dontcha know.

There was a very short film on TV on this theme several years ago that also made an impression. There was no comment, one only heard the sound of the wind. One saw the empty streets of New York (or at least I think it was New York) and later the roads of what looked like Los Angeles - with no humans anywhere. I think it was done by filming in the summer, very early in the morning.

This was amazing, eerie in parts and truly heartbreaking for all of the poor domesticated animals . I don't think I will be able to stop thinking about this for a while.

Me neither😢🐾🐈🐶💕

Its not real

@Sara Berisha thank you for that illuminating insight sweetie 😘.

@Sara Berisha oh thanks i thought i had disappeared for a second

Most of the wild animals will die out without humans too.

I watched a similar documentary many years ago - one of the main things that it was thought would survive then was the floppy disk (mobile phone in this video). But of course the floppy disk was also useless for similar reasons. Two issues with this documentary - 1) I don't think the window glass would fall out of buildings that soon - most windows of high rise buildings these days are sealed in double glazing plastic frames (when one thinks of the high rise high density social accommodation of circa 70s - some of those horrendous towers still exist and I suspect the landlords don't bother with checking the state of the windows and yet one does not tend to hear of panes of glass falling to earth. 2) the pyramids etc in Egypt will survive the longest - the desert storms will bury the temples etc under tons of sand once again thus preserving these sites. Otherwise an excellent documentary - great graphics and hurrah for mother earth.

I was looking for this comment and i have to come to the english version to find it, lol. I was triggered by the fact that they did not talk about the pyramids and how many years they will "survive" ...

Interesting doco. I was actually looking for (and still am) the 6 part series on Life After People. A lot of this seems to have been taken from that series. When they were talking about the packs of wild dogs roaming the cities 30 yrs after humans, they showed a dog with a collar - after 30 yrs there wouldn't be any dogs that had known humans left. It would be a minimum of 3 generations since any dog knew humans.

I also think about pets in collars and harnesses. Adult animals would eventually loose theirs but pups and kittens would die horrible deaths.

This was fascinating! Well done to all that worked on this film. 👏

PBS about 15 years ago

Great documentary! I think that it would have been nicer if our disappearance had been anticipated so that all machines would have been turned off, cars parked, planes landed, factories shut, zoos closed and animals released back into the wild and pets being able to easily go outside and back in if they wanted with food and water readily available. We have caused enough destruction to the entire planet and to the environment and have treated animals horribly by our presence so I just thought that our disappearance should have been a relief for the planet , not cause more catastrophies.

church of euthanasia

im crying

I wonder how long it would take for our existence to completely disappear. I suppose the plastics buried would be a clue. Plastics are so enduring, unfortunately. This is a fascinating scenario. When I can't sleep I sometimes try to imagine what my surroundings would look like if every one were gone; after one day, then one month, one year, and so on. Ultimately, another human obsession with death.

Regardless of whether it is entirely accurate, this is a great piece of documentary making and really quite relaxing. It's somehow reassuring to suggest the earth could return to nature so quickly after the havoc we humans have wrought upon it.

Really? For me, it was creepy as frick 0_0

Would have been more realistic if they included major locations in China.

For all we know, mankind is the only thing that gives meaning to the universe. The temporary return of 'nature' is beautiful in it's resilience but in essence meaningless.

@Martin Rodenburg Meaning is essentially a human construct. In the absence of mankind meaning is irrelevant - so don't worry about it.

@Oxygène AirTime agreed, it can only have value in the eyes of mankind. However that does not mean one should not value it while mankind is still present.

This documentary is a well known inspiration for "The Last of Us", you can see the same atmosphere in the game. Truly interesting to imagine a world with less humans or even totally without them.

Without us*

I wonder how can a work of (interesting) imagination be termed as a 'documentary'

lesser the better

Proof? "Life after people" delved deeper into the subject over 2 series of episodes AND it started airing 3 months before this show so it could just as easily be the actual inspiration...and yes, it has the same atmosphere (with a little less of the doom and gloom this one suggests) so yes it could be. Additionally most of the inspiration for TLOA came from George A Romero's zombie movies and similar apocalyptic horrors...I would hazard a guess that some inspiration came from The Walking Dead also, but at the start of production that show hadn't started airing (though it had by the time the game was released...as I say, SOME inspiration)

This is a genuinely awesome documentary. Makes me sad just how much we as humans have absolutely destroyed this planet 🥺

As long as you as an individual are doing the right thing, that's all you can focus on ☺

@chazza s nope

@Tumelo Mothokgwane what do you mean by nope?

I take my hat off for everyone involved in this documentary. So well made. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As long as the basic elements of life remain on earth, life will continue to thrive even without humans. The earth is an amazing planet that can regenerate and heal itself no matter the damage incurred It can take quite some time but will heal nonetheless. So it comes full circle, back to the days when humans were still not present.

One of the most thought provoking documentaries I've seen in a long time. Literally brought me to tears. Let's respect nature we need it not the other way around.

You should find the series "life after people" it's done the same way this documentary is done but it does it in categories and goes slightly into more details on certain things. Its really cool. I think it was a history channel show but I can't quite remember

It brought you to tears? Its science fiction

Iwazar La Yah Revelation Productions yes, it was very moving/disturbing. Liked it all the same tho’

No it’s not Frank White, open your eyes, more; open your mind

@Frank White She meant the damage humans have done to the planet!

love the final quote "the earth can survive without us, we can't survive without it"

Yes we are the worst species to have evolved,

@romystumpy no we are the best. y0u are just a masochist

We must learn to. The earth will end one way or the other , the only one capable of surviving by colonizing other plants is us

​@Captain Fury we are in the middle, smart, yes but also destructive.

Lesson learnt: Respect nature, without it we are nothing. Great video 🙏🏿

WITHOUT GOD JESUS WE ARE NOTHING

@Elizabeth Ashby yes dear 💯👍🏿

The production value of this doco is truely phenomenal. Wonderful watch!

Kudos to the cameraman for sticking around for fifty thousand years

The joke is so bad...

@Mj A No-one asked

@Sonik HedgHoG quiet now

Yep. Real original. Clap clap.

Lol 😆😆😆🤣

The documentary series "Life After People" was based on this concept. I recommend it for anyone who enjoyed this. It covered differing aspects of decay and rejuvenation around the world in much more detail.

This very documentary also had a 4 part follow-up, just called "Aftermath (2010)". Life after People was also very similar indeed.

An incredible mind trip, that´s what it is. I´ve watched it as I was looking through a safe window, watching our civilization going by. Amazing documentary. Thank you for posting such a fine piece of knowledge.

Excellent documentary! We really don't amount to much, do we?

An amazing and very interesting documentary to watch, thoroughly enjoyed watching it from start to finish,

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this now, fascinating and beautifully presented

Incredible to think that in a billion yrs from now the chances are earth will look like it did a billion years ago.

@Jens Nobel that's what I'm trying to say, in a billion years the earth will be overgrown with no humans.

@Jens Nobel similar to a billion yrs ago

@Jens Nobel but obviously much hotter due to the Sun ageing.

Whoever did the visuals for this did a fantastic job. So realistic! Bravo!!

No no, they just time traveled to 2021 and filmed there.

Visually on point for sure!👍🏽

I was thinking about the events that would take place as I watched the documentary, and I tried to anticipate the results as the documentary unfolded. I hit the nail on the head for most of the video. However, there is one very major industrial endeavor that would almost immediately break down and impact the terrestrial and especially the marine environment in several areas of the globe. That endeavor is the extraction of petroleum. Imagine oil wells uncontrolled and no longer maintained: after pressure control systems fail, blowouts would occur and result in massive spills both on land and in the sea. On land, blown out wells may catch fire and burn releasing not just the oil but clouds of hydrocarbon particles and gasses. No one knows how long they would burn. In the ocean, oil rigs that did not immediately blow out would eventually break down and start spewing crude into the sea. It would make the the Deepwater Horizon disaster look like a minor drip. The same for gas rigs. There are gas flows burning in the Land of Fire in Azerbaijan that have reportedly burned for 4 thousand years and still going strong. For nearly 50 years, the Door to Hell gas crater in Turkmenistan has been burning. Including the results of blown out wells would have been an interesting addition to this excellent film.

Amazing documentary, humans has to find a way to synchronize with nature without destroying them. Otherwise, it will find its way to restore it back

Just a loss of words, really impressively made, indeed it is a happy thought that if humans are gone, the earth and nature take their "revenge", claiming only what is and was theirs, very realistic en deep documentary.

Beautiful scenario. I hope this can happen sometime.

Bravo! Champion film makers. In depth Thought into what could happen. Graphic detail exceptional. Well done! Thank you!

“Now that humans are gone, the elephants have nothing left to fear” That was deep

Uzumaki Khan The elephants would die off from radiation as well as 98% of the rest of the world living habitats. Some plants, most of the sea life, and almost all land life (with the exception of cockroaches) would be killed off.due to a lack of nutrients (famine).

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV

Uzumaki Khan I see the whole situation but where did the humans disappear too

FBGM RicoXRico I think we went to an alternate universe where dogs are the supreme overlords in society.

Imagine Dinosaurs came back, then they would fear something else. So effin what? Y this guy so angry at his successful race eh?

That was fabulous. It should be aired on national tv so everyone can see the mess we're making

This has been so well done. We leave a big mess and disaster yet more animals will survive and thrive in the long run.

Nukes are the best creation of humanity.

Brilliant production.The visuals amazing. Thought provoking too.

Then some life beings evolved into a human like species and then one day they saw some of the wrecked structures or that stainless kitchen sink and started to think that an alien once lived in this planet. Now they are struggling to find answers the whereabouts of those aliens.

Makes you think how many times this would have happened before due to cataclystic events.

Nowonder copper of interstellar said that they are us.

@natasja dirken the possibility of detection is so low we could just write it down as none.

This seems to prove what I have believed for years: we are and will prove to be totally insignificant in the history of the universe - Mother nature will always be the real power and the one that we should have listened to, most of all!

@Schmurgen hopefully we don't cause too much damage

@Schmurgen The extinction of more powerful dinosaurs proved you're right.

Mother Nature can just end humanity if she wants to but in the future, I don't think she has that power anymore since humans would become too powerful

@Oreoki Most respectfully, I simply cannot agree.

Truly most wonderful documentary... just one slight error ...150 years after when humans were gone, at London Bridge, there was a man seen crossing over a window glass together with a black van passing by....apart from that it was superb, well done ..Cliff

That was bigfoot and I family moving in

All the pets being trapped indoors really broke my heart. It's one of my biggest fears if my cat were to be locked in our house if anything happened to us. :(

I know 😢

Get a pet door installed

As soon as I saw all the fish in tanks it dawned on me about all the pets that would be locked in houses just left to starve to death..then I cried 💔🥲

A great idea to see what the world would be like without humanity. Excellent piece of work. Best piece of film I've seen in a long time very entertaining. Would like to see a follow up film of the world without animals just humans I give this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams.

If all humans could live in outer space and just observe nature on earth from outer space, that would be amazing.

We have had a very tiny glimpse into what would happen if humans were not here....that tiny glimpse was during the global lockdown.....wild animals come into the cities as hardly no one was there....all locked up! I enjoyed this video.....thank you.

Wow what great documentary, I really enjoyed the way that nature came back after the mess left over from humanity.

Most cities and heavily urbanised areas would be destroyed by firestorms without people to put fires out. Although the nuclear reactors would be disastrous, as described, the firestorms across the planet might well have more effect in short and medium term.

Nice documentary. Excellent video editing. The narratives makes it more interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍

At 73, this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, well done.

What can i say except.....👏👏👍. Absolutely bloody fantastic video, i take my hat off to the creators of this thought provoking film . Thankyou.

Absolutely wonderful" a spectacular documentary " YouTube" is wonderful channel " its so informative and it as a massive vast world audience,it caters for all,and "people who might be old, or disabled like myself " I'm so grateful " thank you" merry Christmas and happy new year to everybody and everyone "

A small glimpse of this was realised during the covid pandemic when most people were quarantined , wild animals had confidence to come into empty cities. Less aircraft flew...less cars on the road..the air quality was better.

It's incredible to watch this, as a human, and rejoice in the fact that the planet, nature, and wild life has re-taken its rights.😏😁

Any one wonder how they filmed this? Getting people to not be around, emptying houses, getting zoo animals out, and etc. behind the scenes would be awesome to watch!

I imagine a lot of it is done via CGI

"Excuse me sir, could you step over here 2 meters to avoid the camera? Thanks."

@Jason Walsh movie film makers can use this as a perfect opportunity to get shots for their apocalyptic/zombie/pandemic/end of the world films

It's called CGI and 3D animation

Mario Ramirez green screen

It's been 30 minutes of watching and I am loving this.

I normally watch many docs with my finger on the forward button, but with this one, I watched every single second. Thanks

This was so scary and intense to watch. At some point I was jealous of the narrator for making it alone that far.

Amazing , wonderful content ! ..the earth can get by without us , but we can't survive without the earth.

Epic! Thank you so much for this, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Who else has seen this documentary more than 10 years ago when it was released, time goes quickly, someone must make a new documentary about this theme!

The one I saw was much older than this one and they had made things much easier for the animals, this one though points out to more dangers for animals that man has left behind. But I still believe that these cities may not survive this long as predicted here. most of the worlds major cities are fire traps that will burn to cinders if left to its own devices,

wow .. I didnt realize it was that old ... Even now in covid 19 times , The skies have cleared and people staying at home has given nature back its rightful place , animals roaming big cities due to less people .....

@jum rogan I saw one in I think the 70's, it was called "A world without us" or something close to that. I remember seeing it, but not a lot of the details. Would like to see it again.

Taste Like More There's no point in doing so, the "end" (for that is what it is) result should- if true- show exactly the same thing. You don't need hundreds of snazzy, fast-moving, high tech films to get across an important message. You must be the type of person who rented 15 videos a week when they first came out.

@Taste Like More - The one that I’ve seen was a show called “Life After Humans” from like 2009 ish

Would love to see a video (if possible I don’t know lol) on how humans would ‘start again’ if this was to happen

Great documentary. We are so destructive. To ourselves, one another and to our environment.

Yes we are. Makes me very very angry that so many people are so reckless and stupid.

@Free Documentary yet you continue to use the products, services, and infrastructure that requires such destructive behaviour That's a bit hypocritical isn't it?

A very enjoyable and thought provoking documentary. Of course, natural order will prevail, once humanity ceases to exist. I only hope whatever comes after us, will take better care of our beautiful blue planet. 😊

Very well done extremely enjoyable to watch 👍

Would have been more realistic if they included major locations in China.

I just feel sad about the pets. :( I wish they'd disappear together with us if this happened.

Hope this gets showed in every school for years to come, so our children can see where we have gone wrong, and God willing they find ways to live with this amazing planet 🌎 and listen to what it is trying to tell and teach us

What a lovely comment. Thank you 🙏

Everything turns to dust in the end. We seem to have this childish notion we must continue indefinitely. We should respect the planet and each other, but at some point it will all end and to try a prevent this is futile. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I hope they teach people in schools that the past tense of "show" is "shown"

@Chisel Cheswick m

I’m sure the children will enjoy their trauma 🥴

Very good documentary and yet a very good ending with the thought that Humans can go over the insanity that only the humans were capable of...

It's all taken directly from another documentary in the 2010s. They just sharpened the quality of the video and put way worse narration over it.

This is something I have seen the best of the best so far. Thank you for making this documentary. This is exactly the same which I thought alot about our history.

If I was suddenly the last person alive I would terribly miss the person I love most and maybe one or two others but otherwise I think I’d be content.

I feel like I’d be fine if there was about 50 people left including some people that could keep basic things running

I don’t know when this documentary was made but the fact that the population has gone from 6.6 billion to 8 billion is just a few years in insane.

Made me realise that mother nature is even stronger than I thought. So quiet and slow yet so powerful. No matter what we do we can never win over her. Life on Earth was there before us, it will thrive after we're gone. We are just a phase to our planet.

Do know that some places were they drop bomb is ww2 are healing very cool

Well duh. Obvious.

Not true sorry. We are destroying this earth at alarming rates. We are causing more damage over the course of time than nature can repair itself. It's a serious concern

@Maddi Herewini I'm talking about millions of years after our extinction.

Earth has gone through 5 extinctions at this point i think

I’ve watched this at least 10 times, every single damn time I’ve fallen asleep. I’m determined to watch it through to the end without sleeping if it’s the last thing I do 😤

Hahahha

ّWatch it where you left off....

Oh men I love post apocalyptic video games and tv series.... As well as documentaries ❤️

Great documentary 👍💯😊🏆✅ interestingly there are a lot of buildings around the world 🌎 that are left abandoned even streets

Even after 30y that shepherd dog still wears the collar, alive and full of energy 😂

Yep! Very well produced and presented. As far as I'm concerned let's do it!

This really puts into perspective how much damage and pollution we as humans cause.

we are a disease. consume and destroy and then blame every thing else but are self.

This is a fake adaptation.

It’s not humans it’s the number of humans

ok, but who controls us? who wants us to consume? there are a handful of families that literally 'make a killing' from our consumerism....they have made a killing from this 'so called' pandemic too....its a win/win for some people... we need to stop consuming and start re-using EVERYTHING!! my house is full of second hand stereos/laptops/pc's/TV's etc....it is so wasteful to go out and buy brand new shit.....that is the problem with the world....when the new iphone 14GS (or whatever) comes out, why is there a seven mile queue to get one??? greed, my friends...your nobody if you havent got one.....greed will be the end of humanity...

When I first moved to Colorado I was excited to get into the industry, I came prepared. I had a thousand or so seeds comprised of 4 strains that my friend and I developed in Florida during the early 2000’s. I’m talking stabilised feminised seed stock thats consistency with little deviation in phenotype and always female. It took years of work and spreadsheets but it was all worth it. I made it to the promised land I just need to fill out some forms have my small facility inspected and we’re good. Not so fast. Unfortunately for me I arrived in Denver 1 year before they changed all the laws, laws that clearly are beneficial to large corporate growers and dispensaries. People who can reach in and pull a million bux out of their pocket and not blink twice. This decision by the state to create an overly complicated system that suddenly excluded anyone with any felony record for drugs, and I’m talking simple possession. They now required that all product from seed/clone to dried product had to be tracked from seed/clone to finished product, software that could track that sort of metrics didn’t even exist. They required not only cameras but the Controllers and hard drive backup has to be in a secured room that must be inspected by the police department. Even the security room has to have a camera both inside and outside the room. Needles to say, I had to shutter my new operation 2 months after I finally got all my inspections and paperwork approved under the old system. What all this has done is hurt small owners and worse yet it’s destroying the plant it’s self. Commercial retailers/growers in Colorado are hands down the worst I’ve ever seen when it comes to strain selection. You go into the shoppes and there’s strains that you never heard of, never heard of them because they are convinced that then need to always be offering a new fresh product that no one else had. They do this by “pollen dusting”, one strain to another and coming up with a clever/ironic name. They don’t stabilise the seed stock nope just cross this with this make seeds the. Use those seeds that haven’t been stabilised to make this “new strain” worse yet they mix those together and before ya know it the genetics begins to fail not to mention do this enough and you have 30 types of product to sell that all looked taste and provides roughly the same high. Denver has gone from having couture Bougie bud growers that supplied dispensaries with premium strains that with nothing but the best nutrients harvested when the tricombe were either amber or milky and then cured for 6 months or longer for a full smooth rich taste. To what we have now, over priced commercially grown bud with questionable genetics that are usually never flushed fully, and cured poorly. Since profits are lower quality has suffered, and I fear on a long enough time line Those amazing strains war have eventually been crossed over again and again until it’s just one homogenous strain with only subtle differences but ever shoppe is going to have their own name for it. Which about sums up pot in Colorado, it’s more about the hype and image then the actual product and unique properties that it holds. Colorado image over substance

Beautiful documentary, great team. Hard to see pets and animals in zoo or farm locked and die starving. But the planet will restart.. and take care of it self.

A world without us sounds amazing! Hope this comes true sooner than later, this world will be in a better place ☮️ 🌍

PS this is an eye opening programme, well worth watching to open the mind and make you think about what we've done to creation in such a short time..

I remember watching this years ago, great documentary

A wonderful documemtry which must be shown at schools and public places with necessary language subtitles. A great reminder for us to preserve our mother earth. Well made team. There is soo much information which can be learnt and of course we can do some course correct to present a better earth for the future generation

It would have been more realistic if they included major locations in China.

Waoh,,you have really researched for this!!! Well arranged the events. Kudos and big up. I got a strong urge to care for the environment..

Thank you so much for this documentary

What an awesome depiction of mother earth's regeneration after mankind's extinction.

After your documentary, i came back to today's world😂. It was so alone where you took us to 😢

Watched this when I was 4 or 5 on TV I think. It has been my one of core memories since then.

This was far more specific than I thought it was going to be at first. Interesting stuff for sure. Thanks for sharing.

the visuals. this is the best thing ever done. and too, the CGI oh wow. usually¿, about 1 per average in a documentary. this¿ I'm taking already like 6 screenshots every minute as an artist, for references. AMAZING. Gorgeous. Essence. Such uniqueness. the one who did it is an actual soul. but wish that they gave way way more time for the really really amazing visuals.

What an amazing and thought provoking video.

Me Watching this documentary and self realising to do something for nature, and again thinking and realising that i cannot do it from myself alone, n start doing the same thing as usually 🤣😖😂

Other than a massive meteor, I cannot imagine any scenarios where all humans on earth would disappear in an instant all at once.
