After watching this 11 part series, I noticed how much we throw away at work. Wow its alot.
Planet Earth is well worth watching. I have watched a few episodes several times. We all need to do something to save earth and its beautiful creatures.
Humans are always saying that aliens will come down and destroy the earth to make it their own. What do you think we humans are doing now.

we are the aliens to other animals

If you haven't seen Planet Earth yet, you have to. You will come away from the series with a new respect and interest for our planet.

Exactly. It ticks me off when people litter now. There is only 300 or so blue whales left. Thats sad. People need to grow up and be adults. Littering is childish.

My son's Grandmother bought him the Planet Earth box set and he loves it, every disc get played over and over.

Before I had my son I'd heard other parents complain that their children watched the same movies over and over, but this is one that I don't mind if he wants to watch it every day as it's always a different disc and it's not a 'movie'.

For Christmas apparently he will be receiving the Blue Planet boxset.

I know I can't wait.

They have Planet Earth for sale at Costcos $60 canadian

Isn't it sad how nonchalant people litter? I'm not a "in-your-face" conservationist or anything, but the other day as I was driving down a major road in town, the guys in the SUV in front of me threw their whole fast food meal litter out the window. Bag, soda cup and all!

My jaw literally dropped.

I wanted to shoot their tires out or something, but decided to be a lawful citizen and just "wished" that they would receive four flat tires later in the day.

Once again a fine set of programs from the UK. The BBC really does churn out some quality viewing!

Proud To Be British

Do you think Blue Planet is better?

Kanicky · #17 09/20/2007, 12:56 PM

I watched another episode of Blue Planet last night and loved it... I think I like Blue Planet better, but Planet Earth is great, too.

Leilani57 · #18 09/23/2007, 08:28 PM

Planet Earth and Blue Planet are both amazing shows. If you like those, you should definitely check out Eco-Tech, on Discovery and Science channel.

pnsnowboard · #19 09/24/2007, 03:03 PM

i think the filming in planet earth is a lot better but i am more interested in the creatures in blue planet

samtheman · #20 09/26/2007, 04:47 PM

Is littering worse than having a private jet, or a boat? All waste resources.

woz9683 · #21 09/26/2007, 11:17 PM

That's ridiculous, someone owning a boat isn't the same as tossing crap out your window.

Personally, I like Blue Planet more, sure some of the shots aren't as breathtaking as those from Planet Earth, but consider the environment where all of those in Blue Planet were taken. I think they did an amazing job with the lighting and general aura considering the fact that it's all (well almost) underwater from guys in scuba suits or submersibles.

Why, they are both wasting resources. In fact the airplane and boat owners are putting C02 into the air for thier own enjoyment. How selfish can you get?

woz9683 · #23 09/27/2007, 04:53 PM

An airplane is a mode of transportation, it has a purpose. Boating is a passttime which people enjoy, also a purpose. Throwing trash out your window serves no purpose other than getting trash out of your car. It is utter disregard for your surroundings, at least the other two have uses, selfish or otherwise.
