No, but it was made by the same people who produced Cowspiracy. Exaggerated claims by people who want to force everyone to become vegan. Same 'greens' who are all for freedom of movement, yet uncontrolled immigration causes population growth, the main cause of the Earth's degradation. Same people who use like to stream and download media and store in the cloud, where vast amounts of energy are used, compared to buying a DVD. I see that both films are on Netflix.
I joined Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth in the late 70's and studied the environment to post grad, so I care for the environment, but these pressure groups all have exaggerated claims. Fifty years ago they claimed we only had 50 years of oil left and thirty years ago they claimed the Amazon would cease to exist in 30 years. There are many things that need addressing to stop damaging the environment, but it all needs the right perspective. Population growth is the biggest problem, but due to religion and freedom of movement, the 'Greens' shy away. In around 2005 the UK was heading for 54m by 2030, with the average couple having 1.8 children resulting in a 2m drop from 56m. Now it's heading for 74m with the influx of Eastern European Catholics, plus Middle Eastern and African Moslems. If people move from places where things like infant mortality and poverty influence birth rates, then it causes a population boom resulting in more pressure on resources and more waste.
