Sir David Attenborough has been an important person in my life since my childhood and so too it seems for the President of the USA. His natural history series–Life on Earth and The Living Planet introduced me to the wonder that is our beautiful and diverse planet. Ever since his documentaries I started learning deeper about animals, plants and geography. This fascination with nature has not left me since and I singularly thank Sir David for this. Even now one of my favourite past times is looking up BBC nature documentaries on Youtube. Today I found this video just posted a few days ago of Sir David being interviewed by Mr. Obama on his 89th birthday.
When Obama asks David what drives his passion for nature, he simply says he never lost the natural curiosity that all kids have about animals and nature. When asked about what he should think we should do for the next generation–emphatically he says we need to find a way to harness renewable resources of energy, stop using fossil fuels and store electricity. His answer to his most inspiring moment in nature alone makes this video worth a watch. While I believe Obama is using this video to help boost his credibility over us greenies–politicians must be politicians–his recognition of David Attenborough and his effort to bring nature into people's living rooms is much appreciated by us fans of Attenborough documentaries. So thank you Mr. Barack Obama and do more to push for green energy.
