Nothing Grows Forever: The lessons to learn from nature | Dying Earth: E7 | Featured Documentary

Exploring the impact of Costa Rica’s pioneering efforts to prioritise environment over economic growth for its people.

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse nations on Earth. Its entire west coast is lined by the Pacific Ocean. The whole east coast borders the Atlantic. While this contributes to its stunning beauty, it also leaves Costa Rica particularly susceptible to the impact of climate change. With South America deemed to be the “second most vulnerable” part of the world, Costa Rica has been forced to confront the challenges this encompasses in a unique way. This is particularly evident in their unique approach to all that pertains to energy and its consumption as well as the preservation of its environment.

The film, Nothing Grows Forever, looks at how Costa Rica has become a pioneer in the fight against climate change and how urban planning can be harnessed to benefit both humans and wildlife. In a world obsessed with economic growth, this film highlights how this small South American country is achieving high levels of wellbeing that have very little to do with money.

This documentary is about the place where I am currently living @ Rancho Margot. Congratulations to the crew involved on the making. It was very well done 👍 it touched my heart ❤️
You would say Costa Rica is the poorest country of the world because we have no fossil fuels, valued metals or minerals as the Woman on the video says, but actually it’s a blessing and I add my personal opinion here: it’s a blessing because that’s the main reason why we don’t need to have an army in CR.

I think if we could raise our children closer to nature, showing our connection and how we depende on each other, the sufer could be less.

Shout out to the environmentalist in connection to this cause

I loved that classroom. The girl in the back, gave a very succinct and accurate explanation of the need for pollinators in the fertilization of plants to produce seed for plant reproduction.

The rest sort of chewed on their pencils and squirmed as she talked. I have heard that about seven percent of the human population globally is exceptionally intelligent. Counting the instructor and the seven pupils, she made that point pretty well. He was genuinely surprised at her explanation. She can teach the class.

This is a fascinating and enlightening documentary regarding nature's regenerative process and our involvement in it. We are indeed facing an environmental crisis with devastating impacts. Much respect to these environmentalists whose dedication, commitment and contributions have brought much awareness to the world. To envision life without nature's bounty to sustain our ecosystem and survival is truly dismaying.

Some beautiful photography in this video. The reason we're in the situation we're in is because of man's greed which is led by the so-called free world of capitalism

[jett]

Yes. Thank you for doing these shows. Almost no one is touching this topic. You really are championing the truth game. We will be extinct very soon. It literally could be any day now. Love your life. That’s the best you can do. Find out who you are, and rest in deep peace with the discovery ❤️‍🔥

This is the message which must be delivered to everybody.

La manera sabía y tranquila como este hombre enseña a nuevas generaciones el amor y cuidado por la tierra, la flora y la fauna, nos da esperanza y alienta a continuar sus enseñanzas.

I believe fundamentally, we Humans have a conflict of belief.

One side believes that there is this One Life world and that we should strive to achieve and acquire and experience as much as we can before we die.

One other side, believes that there is this ONE World Life and that we should strive to understand and support the World and the species and humanity in a cooperative and regenerative experience regardless of when we die. Because when we die, we are replaced by someone or something else. Life continues on, just not in our particular form.

In the One Life world, there is further teachings that each Human only, has his own soul and that soul is to be rewarded with a paradise experience after the death of the body.

In the ONE World life, there is further teachings that all life shares one eternal soul, that permeates through all living things and is NOT the domain exclusively of Humans, but is even present in the Earth too.

Finally, in the One Life World, we have a belief that God exists but is separate from Humanity and Nature, though God created Humanity and Nature.

And in the One World life belief system, God is us all, all living things and the Earth are all God and Paradise is here now, not some post life experience for the soul of Humans to enjoy.

Paradise is the domain of God. And all Creation is God.

I believe regardless of which is true or maybe neither are, the Unifying Concepts of a One World Life belief system is preferable because it is cooperative and unifying. It removes the need for competition and thus the chances for excess behavior to lead to resource depletion and then famine, disease and war and collapse.

You don't need to take care of nature, it can do it itself. Just take care of yourselves from yourselves.

The invention of money turned everyone into an inventor and consumer and nature could handle so much.

Ecclesiastes 3-

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
3:2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
3:3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;
3:4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
3:5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
3:6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
3:7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
3:8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.
3:9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?
3:10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.
3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
3:12 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,
3:13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
3:14 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.
3:15 That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.
3:16 Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there.
3:17 I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”
3:18 I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”
3:19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.
3:20 All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.
3:21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?[a]
3:22 So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
