In this film, we can clearly see what we have done to our Earth. We have taken so many things for granted, yet still we keep on increasing the want of resources. Take meat for an example, humans plant grains not for people, but mostly for livestock. The demand for meat ascends each year, but we have never thought about those who starve in different countries around the world. To satisfy the minorities’ greed, we sacrifice the lives of majority. Also, because of the Industrial Revolution, the oil marker’s status has greatly been lifted. Although it brings a convenient and efficient world, the side effects, or in other words, “major effects” are global warming and the crisis of resources. Fossil fuel is a non-renewable resource which takes up to millions of years to generate. The gasses released when burning fossil fuel, causing global warming which endangers animals including humans. If we don’t face these problems, human beings eventually will become extinct. If everyone can take some more time to think about our planet and less about ourselves, I believe the Earth would become our one and only HOME.
