Video Reflection : "The 11th Hour"

'The 11^th Hour' is a collection of interviews off different researchers about their concern towards human effect on their environment.  During this documentary its human activities in order to survive and fulfill their needs have been highlighted and the movie shows the consequences of these activities (i.e. production of excessive amount of Carbon dioxide) for the planet earth.

Its been said in this documentary that if we continue to use energy resource  the way we do now our next generations will not have access to those resources and human race will be in danger of being extinct due to global warming.  Ever since the 19^th century fossil fuels have been the main source of energy production for humans. Fossil fuels and different  human activities cause production of carbon dioxide and other gases such as sulfur monoxide. These gases can raise the average temperature on earth due to the fact that they can act as green house gases. These gases can also harm people and increase the chance of having illnesses such as asthma, cancer and  Parkinson. Fossil fuels have to be replaced with more sustainable sources of energy otherwise the consequences of their excessive use can lean our future into a dangerous situation.

Other human activities on planet earth such as cutting down trees can lead our next generations to live in very uncomfortable environment too. Plants  maintain the richness of soil by maintaining a cycle of  food and nutrition in it. By cutting down trees and other plants we can disable the soil from being fertile. This will cause in expansion of deserts which can lead to dramatic increase in earths temperature. Expansion of deserts and global warming  will cause planet earth to have a climate like other planets such as mars. Human race will not be able to evolve in such climate and eventually be extinct therefore it is necessary for us to find ways which can help us not waste our natural resources.

Solutions such as recycling, use of sustainable materials or reusing products have been effecting in saving earths resources during the last several years. Our responsibility as people in this generation is to follow these solutions and try to expand them by coming up with new ideas in order to save the world from the future than it could be facing.
