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."

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

I know the doom and gloom is warranted and we often are shit, but yeah, we have good sides. And sometimes we do amazing things
