Nice interview - and quite a commendation!


David Attenborough Still Has Hope for Our Future
Repeatedly voted each essentially the most trusted and fashionable particular person in his dwelling nation, Attenborough often is the most traveled human in historical past. (For his landmark 1979 sequence “Life on Earth” alone, he traveled 1.5 million miles.) “If the world is, certainly, to be saved,” writes the environmental journalist and activist Simon Barnes, “then Attenborough could have had extra to do with its salvation than anybody else who ever lived.”

He’s one of the humblest individuals out there. There’s a lot that can be done to mitigate environmental disasters.

Traveling 1.5 million miles for a single TV series burns up a lot of fuel .

The old "Do as i say, Not as I do"

My British friend swears that Sir Attenborough single-handedly changed the attitude of Britain toward environmental conservation.....he's been around a long time.
Did you know that in his young life he was one of those guys that travelled the world to collect animals for zoos???
With age comes wisdom, I suppose.
But seriously- is there a better voice on the planet to remind you that we need to take notice of the world around us?

I can’t think of one. He’s got such an iconic voice, onet that is able to convey both joy and gravitas where necessary. Here’s hoping he becomes a centenarian.

Isn't that a wonderful thing to have on one's ledger?
