With David Attenborough turning 100 years old, planet Earth hugs back its most ardent lover | Web-series News

David Attenborough was born on this day, a 100b years ago. When he first stepped foot on planet Earth, it had been only a couple of years since the first intercontinental flight had taken off in 1924. By the time he turned 18, World War II was on the verge of a close. It was the ideal time for what the legendary nature broadcaster and narrator went on to do — fly across the world, explore hidden natural treasures, and document them for the rest of the globe to witness and gawk at. “People had never seen pangolins, sloths, or the centre of New Guinea before on television,” he says in the 2020 Netflix documentary David Attenborough: A Life on Planet. By that point, humans had gotten a groove on how to live the world. They’d eliminated their predator. They’d figured out a way to sustain themselves agriculturally. And the pervasive mood was of progress, not destruction. Countries began opening up instead of waging wars against each other. Curiosity had taken the wheel, and the …

Kalki Koechlin on Earth Day: Change Starts With Simple Choices

On Earth Day, actor Kalki Koechlin reflects on her deep-rooted commitment to sustainable living, the small choices that shape a greener future, and the importance of leading by example in an increasingly fragile world. “Every day should be Earth Day for us,” she says, underlining how the idea goes far beyond symbolic celebration. “It’s really about the small, consistent choices we make in our daily lives—how we consume, what we throw away, and how mindful we are of our impact on the planet.” Kalki Koechlin She adds, “When I travel, I try to make mindful choices, like choosing homestays instead of big hotel properties. It’s not just more sustainable, but it also supports local communities and reduces the kind of large-scale impact that bigger establishments can have.” While conversations around climate change have grown louder, she points out the gap between intent and action. “People are talking more, which is great, but awareness has to translate into action. The real work is in what you do every day.” When asked what she wishes would change, …
