#9 Environmental Education

Home is the first film that has been made using aerial-only footage, the director of it Mr. Yann Arthus-Bertrand had shown to us on what is happening to our Mother Earth at this present time. When I watch this video I was amazed on the things that I had seen, it is one of a kind experience in knowing how our world evolved to make things all balanced. In the first part of the film it shows what Earth is, during the time, we are not yet part of it.

The film had shown that no living things can ever survive on earth during its evolvement. There are particles that are not suitable in sustaining life and can make living things extinct. As year pass by the earth became a home of all the living thing specially the Trees, Plants and animals it shows how balance the earth was because of the individual role of living organism. When man came to life, we became the superior to the entire living organism in the earth the film had shown how does humanity had control all the system on earth and how they used all the resources that our earth had made. Human used all the resources in a fair way that can not harm to the other existence on earth. As years go on the film had shown that even human are evolving by means of using technology that can makes their work even faster, specially the use of oil as the energy.

         

          It was a tragic when human had discovered the use of fossil fuels because it causes a lot of changes in the process of life. It became irrational once chemical and pollution had came to life it destroy some of the resources in earth especially the bodies of water and the atmosphere. With the abusive used of human to all the resources. It lessen the percentage of usable resources that may gone if human will not changed its way on controlling the system on the environment. With this issue most of the countries are suffering to the consequences that human false activity had spreading all over the world. It became the cause of competing in using the other resources because it become insufficient to other human, they are striving to get all the resources they will need. The film only reminds us that if we will not change our system in using all the resources the extinction of humanity will soon be happened.  There are also reminders that the film had shown “20% of the world’s population consumes 80% of its resources

The world spends 12 times more on military expenditures than on aid to developing countries. 5,000 people a day die because of dirty drinking water, 1 billion people have no access to safe drinking water. Nearly 1 billion people are going hungry. Over 50% of grain traded around the world is used for animal feed or bio fuels. 40% of arable land has suffered long-term damage. Every year, 13 million hectares of forest disappear. One mammal in 4, one bird in 8, one amphibian in 3 is threatened with extinction. Species are dying out at a rhythm 1,000 times faster than the natural rate. Three quarters of fishing grounds are exhausted, depleted or in dangerous decline. The average temperatures of the last 15 years have been the highest ever recorded. The ice cap is 40% thinner than 40 years ago. There may be at least 200 million climate refugees by 2050.” With this reminder the film also had shown other ways that human did to use the resources wisely and will not harm other living organisms. With this video it change the way I look on our planet earth and it must be a lesson learn to all human kind.
