I'm not quite sure if it's the song or the beauty of the animation or if it is the fact that if we don't do something it will all go away... but every time I watching this my stomach drops.

3650 MTV Global Warming from Justin Gedzus on Vimeo.

I remember this so well. It was fifth grade and I was coloring a giant cartoon earth with green and blue Crayola markers. Our teacher, Mrs. Fruedenwald, made us save certain parts of all the countries.

"Don't color those green... save some of the continents... I'll tell you what to do later!"

It felt weird only coloring parts of the U.S., Florida and Georgia and only Italy and parts of Brazil and a little bit of Antarctica.

"OK. Now take a brown marker." We all looked nervously at each other as if she asked to say "Shit" in front of our parents. "Color in the rest."

And when we were all done our Earths looked nothing like Encyclopedias or globes. They looked... dirty.

"In 2010, if we don't learn how to take care of our Earth we will look like this... or worse."

It seemed so far away when you are ten.
