By Svetlana Lukyanyuk: The documentary Home, shot within eighteen months by world-renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and director Luc Besson in more than 60 countries, is aimed at demonstrating the audience that Earth does not need being conquered but needs our protection and assistance.

Good environmental performance is observed in Germany and European countries actively switching to alternative energy sources. Belarus has an advantageous position, with approximately 140 million tons vs. 8 billion.
