“The metaphor is so obvious. Easter Island isolated in the Pacific Ocean — once the island got into trouble, there was no way they could get free. There was no other people from whom they could get help. In the same way that we on Planet Earth, if we ruin our own world, we won't be able to get help.”

Attenborough's Warning from Easter Island

David Attenborough presents this short 4 minute video which explains the warning that Easter's history provides today's society, and it pretty much sums up the ecocide theory and how this relates to today. It ends with a plea from Attenborough himself to listen to the lesson Easter provides and to conserve our planet for future generations. Now i don't know about you, but if there is anyone i'm going to listen to who's telling me to save the planet, its going to be David Attenborough!
