It's safe to say that David Attenborough is a national—make that international—treasure. As a nature documentary buff, few things lower my blood pressure and pique my interest more than hearing his iconic voice describing the natural world.
My wife and I have recently been enjoying his latest, "Our Planet," on Netflix. Well, "enjoying" isn't the right word. While the series offers the stunning photography and fascinating natural insights we've come to expect from Attenborough's projects, this one includes a sobering and, at times, downright discouraging look at our catastrophic impact on the natural world. This isn't binge-worthy material, and we often need to pause for a little break.
