    Romantic documentary

    I don't like "romantic" kind of documents. I don't like this kind of computer graphics. I would prefer if there were some facts, for example:
    • in which location are we
    • which kind of trees we see
    • how many trees we have
    • how to save them
    • what to do with that?


    • is it possible to recycle a wood? For example broken wooden chair or table, with recycling I do not mean "burning" to make a heat.
