A Planet For The Taking

. . .
In both our past and present generation we have been destroying the environment around us, whether we realize or know it or not. Our world has become so focused on technology and how it can make our lives easier, that we have all come to love material things, even though they may be destroying our beautiful ecosystems and nature.

Man has had a huge impact on our planet; some may say good, others will say bad. Many have not even taken in consideration for the other species that we currently share our world with. We all have a responsibility, and that is to care for the beauty of nature around us, so that future generations can enjoy it just like we had the chance to. David Suzuki is trying to let us know, if this continues, we may not just destroy ecosystems, species and nature itself, but we may destroy ourselves.

The scientific message that this film is trying to portray is that even though science has excelled immensely and reaps many benefits, it also has many downfalls and it may in the end destroy us. Massive amounts of people drive their cars, dump garbage in landfills instead of recycling and smoke tobacco which all destroy and pollute the land. Science and technology are rapidly growing fields in our world and a few benefits would be that we now have better living conditions, and have found cures for many diseases. Man has forever changed our planet to meet the needs of humans. It is not fair to try to change our world so rapidly that species who cannot adapt become endangered and may eventually die off. People say that they are proud of the Canada they call home, just to turn around and destroy it for wealth and greed. The downfalls to these growing fields are that we are destroying our ecosystems and also endangering many species.
