Happy Earth Day! Videos, a Gallery, and Our Biggest Giveaway Yet

sign me up for the dvd!

Planet Earth is one of the greatest documentaries ever made. Happy earth day everyone!

I have watched the Planet Earth series.
Very awesome!!!

Agreed.

Nice series.

wow that is a good reward... and yes, happy earth day!

Loved the photo gallery. It's amazing how spectacular of a feature Planet Earth really is. I always catch it on TV but unfortunately I don't have HDTV where I'm currently living so it's not as spectacular as when you get to watch it in HD. Keep up the Earth Day coverage in the future!

I am hooked on the series and recommending it to everyone I know.

Absolutely incredible.

This would be a perfect gift on Earth Day!

I love Planet Earth!

I can't ever get sick of Planet Earth. I have watched it several times and am always blown away. The camera work couldn't be better!

My whole family loves PE and I'm taking my daughter to see "Earth" this Friday. My kids would love to be able to pop a disc in anytime they want :D

I love this video!! My students are learning so much and they are very engaged in the video.

I purchased Planet Earth soon after its release. An episode per week airing on TV created my need. The ability to be in the most remote of locations and view incredible imagery had me anticipating the next episode. The music is fantastic fitting and the mix is threaded nicely. Hats off to the fortitude and persistence of the PE team. Viewers should make it a point to watch the "behind the scenes" clips. Sigourney's smooth, collected voice was a most excellent choice for the narration. One of my best viewing moments was when I took the DVD set over to my Aunt who was at the time confined to her home because of ailments. She was enthralled! She really liked the Bird of Paradise capture. She asked and I had to comply, that I leave the DVD set with her. It was great to see her enjoy it so much at such a difficult time in her life. I'll be picking up an HD version at some point. Thanks much to all of the people involved in making the PE production possible!! Five stars from me. Great post for Earth Day PopSci! Plant something people! jd

better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...

Would love to see this in Blu-Ray.

Sign me up :O

A great contest for a great site!

This is an amazing series, I've been able to catch a glimpse of it on cable every now and then and was looking to buy it, but it's much too expensive for me... Eventually though I'll be able to own it! Yet from what I have seen, the series is much more interesting than any other video of Earth I have ever seen! It would be a perfect source to use in classes teaching about different regions of the world and to show the animals that are being endangered as well! I hope that the team will be back to create another series, possibly one on a different set of species or a new category all together! Also I think this giveaway is a perfect method to promote Earth Day! Great job PopSci and BBC!!!

Count me in Please!

Count me in!

Was around for the 1st Earth Day -- what an amazing event this day has become over the years. So great to have something significant as an observation to pass on to the next generations.

Cool a contest

Love the Planet Earth series!!! I have seen them all, and would love to have them to own! they make you realize how amazing our planet is!

I'd love to watch them! I've only seen one.

Really phenominal series, best nature doc I've ever seen. Highly recommended!!!

i think the lesson here is if you want people to read an article you just need to put giveaway in the title
and by the way, sign me up!

WOW !
Just WOW !!!

Thanks to PopSci and BBC !

I'd love to watch them all!

I would love a chance for the boxed set. That is just awesome. I especially loved the bird video on this page, it was particularly cool.

I saw all of them when they first cycled on TV, and after recently upgrading to Blu-Ray I saw 'Jungles' on disc and it was even more amazing. I can't wait to see the snow leopard again! It's an amazing series, the BBC should be very proud of funding this venture that will last for years in the public fascination.

Awesome. Sweet series and would love a chance to own them

This is my favorite documentary ever. The video shots that they were able to get are extraordinary! I would love to have this set as part of my own video collection.

The Planet Earth series is fascinating and very informative and would be a great addition to the library.

A perfect day to listen to Devin Townsend's song: Earth Day

Here's for the chance at a box set!

I'd love the chance to be able to own these videos. I'm a future elementary/middle school teacher, and I think these videos would be excellent to use with students for various purposes.

I see this set every time I walk into my local BestBuy. I pick it up, look at it for a second then set it back down. It's always been in the back of my mind to get it. Too bad you're not offering it on blu-ray.

Wow, cool giveaway. I loved watching the series on tv

Amazing DVD set!

Perfect for showing to classes.

The best thing to watch on TV! The footage is so amazing, I can't imagine what they have to go through to capture those moments!

Happy Earth Day.

What beautiful day for Earth Day, too. This would be a great DVD to own.

I'd love to be with the film crew for a week. Spectacular.

I really loved this series, and constantly watch everytime there is repeat. I really admire the production team for their countless hours spent filming and photographing our lovely planet.

Some people do not realise that this may actually be the last time we may be seeing some of these species. We live in an age of human enhanced/influenced extinctions and we, as a race, need to realise the value in conserving biodiversity worldwide. I really believe that Planet Earth is an effective means to pass on this idea, we need to realise the future potential of our biodiversity before it all becomes a distant memory.

Hooray for Planet Earth! Seasonal Forests is my favourite episode.

i have never seen planet earth (no cable tv), thanks for the chance to win a copy pop sci!

Having read the coffeetable book version and witnessing the strong and bold photohraphy encapsulated on it's pages and on film, I believe that those photos serve as a reminder for humanity as to what we risk if we treat planet Earth like a wastedump. The images of the remaining natural world could not have been compiled at a more vital time in human history when we review our use of fossil fuels and begin to explore new technologies in the pursuit of keeping Planet Earth a habit cradling so many species of animals including ourselves.

We've never watched Planet Earth but it's just the kind of thing my husband and I enjoy watching.

the timelapse stuff is cool

I agree, Planet Earth is the best. I love especially the first one! The mountains dvd is okay. but, in general they are all awesom

When watched on Blue-Ray, it's like your there in person.

I have been wanting to get planet earth since the day it was released but I cant justify spending that much when I have tuition and books to pay for.

I've been hoping my local library would get a copy so I could check it out. Be a great prize to win!

This DVD series is spectacular.

Congrats to our winners!
