I loved the film and greatly appreciate that it is made so readily available online. I wanted to share something with you:

At a price tag of $500mn for 22k sq miles of land, the project could be replicated across 1/4 of the earth's landmass for the price of $4.5 trillion, or about one third of the US Government's bailout and stimulus plans.

A global project to restore watersheds or zombie banks, which would you prefer?
