A very hard to find video, this video calls for a reasonable balance between nature and labor and between economic growth and the environment. It explicitly states that economic planning and strategies for modernization should be less disruptive to local ecosystems. Environmental disruptions in the Third World such as forest fires and deforestation (human-caused) lead to flooding, landlessness, poverty, and disease.

Of the annual global emission of carbon dioxide, for example, 24 percent is caused by the United States. |
