Goal For The Green

Recently, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, in particular, Disney Nature- – the studio that brought you EARTH, sent me,  The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos, for review.

At my house, this becomes a family affair, as my grandchildren, love viewing these incredible films.

Watch This!

In The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos, the great mysteries of their life journey, unfolds in a heartwarming story of survival. The Crimson Wing, explores the spectacular lives of a million crimson‐winged flamingos, offering a glimpse, of their rare journey.

We were surprised to learn, that Flamingos, can live for 40 years! I’d have never guessed that. While,the film is appropriate for families of all ages, and is rated G, you may want to prepare your young children, that Nature’s life cycle, isn’t always fair. As it is in many species, only the strong survive.

This film showcases a dramatic, never before‐filmed backdrop.  In a place like no other on the planet, the regal birds wing to another world, at the desolate Lake Natron,  in northern Tanzania.   Here, in an inspiring and colorful story of majesty and beauty, a million flamingos gather yearly, to continue the circle of life.  The story, is as amazing , as it is beautiful.

BTW, no one paid me to write this post, I truly wanted to share it with you 🙂

Yes, it has been about 30 days since the Deep Water Horizon Well, has been permanently capped.  Yes, it has been at least two or more weeks, since the five story, 150 ton blow-out preventor has been raised, to help determine the cause of the worst environmental disaster in American history. Yes, hearings have begun, but have you noticed, WE  AREN’T HEARING, much of the goings on?  The focus is NOW, on the mid-term elections.  I don’t know about YOU, but I think many people impacted by the BP spill, as well as the millions of unemployed workers in this county, are wondering WHO CAN WE TRUST?
