A decade after its release, "The True Cost" (2015) remains an essential watch for anyone committed to sustainability and ethical living. Directed by Andrew Morgan, the documentary exposes the devastating environmental and human costs of the fast fashion industry, a system build on exploitation, overconsumption and environmental destruction.

Nearly a decade has passed since the release of Before the Flood (2016), the powerful documentary directed by Fisher Stevens and fronted by environmental advocate and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. In many ways the film remains a hauntingly relevant call to action - a mirror held up to humanity, reflecting the environmental crossroads we faced then and still face today. watching it now in 2025 feels like revisiting a warning siren that blared loud and clear, yet was only partially heeded. 

Watching "Ocean" (2025), the latest documentary from Sir David Attenborough, feels like bearing witness to a planetary emergency. With haunting underwater footage, the film reveals the brutal reality of bottom trawling—industrial fishing vessels dragging weighted nets across the seafloor, reducing centuries-old coral forests to deserts of broken skeletons. If you haven't watched it yet, it's time...

I finally got around to watching "Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet" on Netflix, and honestly, I wish I'd seen it sooner. Released in 2021 and narrated by David Attenborough (because of course it is), this documentary does something most climate films don't: it actually explains what "planetary boundaries" are and why crossing them should terrify us more than it apparently does.

Our Planet narrated by David Attenborough, was a major shift in nature documentaries. Unlike previous series, it directly connected the beauty of the natural world to the reality of climate change and human impact. It showed not just wildlife, but how rising temperatures, deforestation, and overfishing are disrupting ecosystems.

When An Inconvenient Truth premiered in 2006, it did something that no other climate documentary had done before - it turned a PowerPoint presentation into a cultural phenomenon. Directed by Davis Guggenheim and centred around former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's climate advocacy, the film was a sobering, scientifically grounded call to action. Nearly 20 years later, its warning feel less like speculation and more like prophecy. 

Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and addressing it requires a critical understanding of its key drivers. While fossil fuels, energy consumption, and industrial activities dominate the headlines, the role of food systems—particularly animal agriculture—often receives less attention. 

Samantha Harvey’s Orbital the 2024 Booker Prize winner, offers a unique lens through which to examine our planet's fragility and the pressing issues of climate change. 

Set aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the novel follows six astronauts as they complete 16 orbits around Earth, each lasting 90 minutes. This setting serves as a powerful backdrop for exploring themes of isolation, perspective, and the human impact on the environment.

In 2021, the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy made waves - both literal and metaphorical - by exposing the dark underbelly of the global fishing industry. Directed by Ali Tabrizi, the film ignited passionate debates, garnered international attention, and forced many to rethink their relationship with seafood. Now, four years later, with climate change accelerating and ocean health more precious than ever, Seaspiracy feels less like a sensational expose and more like a chilling prophecy ignored.

In Playground, Richard Powers crafts a poignant and timely narrative that subtly but powerfully addresses the pressing issue of climate change. While not a traditional climate change treatise, the book weaves environmental concerns into the storyline, making the consequences of a warming planet feel deeply personal and immediate.

Cormac McCarthy's The Road is a haunting exploration of a post apocalyptic world, capturing the desolation of a planet ravaged by an unnamed catastrophe. The novel's sparse, poetic prose conveys a profound sense of love and resilience as a father and son journey through a dying landscape in search of hope. Their bond - tender yet strained by the brutal realities of survival - forms the emotional core of the story, raising questions about humanity's capacity to endure in the face of collapse. 

Years is a delightful plant-based eatery in Hong Kong, known for its innovative and delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes. They have several branches across Hong Kong, all with different menus. I often frequent the one in Whampoa, called Be with Years. 

I felt deceived; I have been lied to all my life! Now was the time for action, so I stopped eating meat, poultry and fish. I didn't do it out of love for the animals but purely for health reasons. Slowly but surely over the last year my eyes started opening to the suffering of sentient beings.

One of the first and best ways to help the environment is to go vegan. What you put in your body is not only critical to living a healthy life but can be critical to save the planet too. Let's have a look at mint. 

I sincerely wish we could take more care of our planet, there is so much beauty in it and climate change (caused by us) is threatening it all. Spending time in nature is one of the most awesome ways of reconnecting and understanding that we are living on this earth with other living things. We are not here to dominate everything.

One of the first and best ways to help the environment is to go vegan. What you put in your body is not only critical to living a healthy life but can be critical to save the planet too. Let's have a look at hemp seeds. 

I sincerely wish we could take more care of our planet, there is so much beauty in it and climate change (caused by us) is threatening it all. I often venture out with the need of documenting the beauty of our planet and take photos of and in nature. I am not fond of humans as subject or any photos with humans in. Recently I discovered macrophotography. 

This book invoked the twin deities of terror namely climate anxiety and climate depression simultaneously. The further I ventured into the book, I couldn't shake the sense of doom. We, the human race, are going to end up in the underbelly of Hades' lair - not a land of torment but a place where the dangers are real enough.
