Prompted by a post from @krishnanrohit: "I'm once again registering my annoyance at the fact that EVERY SINGLE NATURE DOCUMENTARY talks about how humans suck. Literally every single one. I am so tired of explaining to my 7yo son that no humans are not destroying everything. That he can be optimistic. It's obscene."

But we are though, we are the biggest threat to the planet and life on the planet, its a good opportunity to have a dialog with your son about some people only think of themselves and others work together for the benefit of everybody

We also do cool and emphatic things. Maybe they want to find a documentary that for once highlights that side.
