Physician Sofia Pineda Ochoa became so concerned about the future of life on Earth that she wrote, produced and directed the new documentary, Endgame 2050. \\u201cThere is no human health without planetary health,\\u201d she tells us. She interviewed several notable experts in the film, but musician/environmental activist Moby provided the most brutally candid assessment of our situation: \\u201cThings are not fine.\\u201d He told Sofia we \\u201care destroying the only home that we know of in the universe that will support life\\u2026. if we can\\u2019t change ourselves, if we can\\u2019t learn how to live in sustainable harmony with the only world that will support us, we need to go away.\\u201d

The film doesn\\u2019t shy away from human overpopulation as a chief contributor to our ongoing destruction of Earth\\u2019s life-supporting ecosystems. Dr. Ochoa does more than diagnose our problem; she also offers some solutions: \\u201cI think we have a moral obligation to raise awareness about the unsustainability of our current population growth rate, and the importance of slowing that rate down, as well as changing our consumption patterns.\\u201d On the consumption side, Endgame 2050 makes a compelling case for eliminating meat from our diet.

Alec Baldwin, Brad Pitt, \\u201cnature porn,\\u201d and the United Nations all come up in our free ranging conversation. The film is free to view on several streaming services. Visit endgame2050.com for screening information (and for good resources if you want to dig deeper into the subjects raised in the film).
