This is a documentary on environmental protection. It was shown to students in teaching, but I watched it 4 times. Some of the pictures formed a deep memory and imprinted it in my head. During the filming process, some students were sleeping and some were watching their mobile phones. This disappointed me, because these real images were not enough to draw their attention to environmental protection and living environment. After the film, I shared my experience with them, hoping to awaken their sense of social responsibility. Even if my advocacy is only a small amount of power, it is worthwhile for one person to change their usual behavior of wasting and consuming resources.
The narration part of the film was explained by Leonardo, who missed the Oscar statuette four times. They showed the audience a series of terrible disasters. The pictures of meteorological disasters, geological changes, greenhouse effect, and infectious diseases are real and Profoundly, people worked hard to find the cause of all these phenomena, and finally found us human beings at the top of the biological chain. Through interviews with well-known people from all walks of life, the film calls on the masses to pay attention to changes in the environment through their influence, and advocates for humans to change their greed and predatory behavior!
In the film, the responsibility for causing environmental pollution and destroying living space was attributed to the company and the U.S. government. In order to gain profits in the economic competition, the company was frantically cutting, fishing, and polluting, and did not pay attention to the sustainability of resources and energy. Development; and the U.S. government has also focused on the acquisition of economic benefits in the process of formulating laws and regulations, which has led to the rapid expansion of the economy as a subsystem, and the earth, the mother system, cannot meet the expansion speed of the subsystem! The scholars in the film commented that the U.S. Constitution gave a small group of people too much power, allowing them to play an overly important role in the formulation of policies, so they almost acquiesced in the short-sighted behavior of enterprises, resulting in continued environmental degradation. . Of course, as an individual consumer, he is also to blame for the role of destroying the earth. The population size alone is enough to see the leopard. The global population was about 2 billion in 1930, and it rose to 3 billion in 1960. 1974 It reached 4 billion in the year, broke 5 billion in 1987, and reached 6 billion in 1999. Now the 7 billion people’s dependence and need on the earth’s resources has reached a critical moment. Population growth will continue, but the earth will not grow with the population. The earth’s resources will only become poorer and poorer, and haze, hurricanes, and all kinds of terrible climate disasters will only become more frequent! Humans will become extinct one day, but when the time comes, the earth will continue to rotate, the earth will regenerate in time, the lakes will become clear again, the rivers, lakes, and mountains will regain green, and everything will calm down. Maybe human beings will be extinct, but the earth will not, because the earth has endless time, while humans have limited time. For us, it’s time to act...
As ordinary individuals, we can also do for environmental protection. Make a little contribution to the best of your ability, CD-ROM, turn off the lights, low-carbon travel... Even the simple act of consuming and buying things can still show an attitude to the environmental protection cause. Choosing green and environmentally friendly food when shopping is also a suggestion to the production method of the company. Requirement, this is a voting behavior, which represents your attitude and shows your identity with green production methods...
