Earth from Above

as human wants are limitless, our development and pursue of higher living is at the expense of the earth's resources. through years of exploiting, extracting and continuous consumption of of natural oils, fuels and space, our environment and habitat has been suffering in great deal and one could only wonder how long all these luxury would last.

throughout the whole video what i felt for most is probably the impacts of deforestation and oil exploration. i always felt that one of the most beautiful and amazing thing of our mother nature is her creation of wildlife. walking on this earth with us is a vast variety of other living creature, plants, and insect. be it on land or in the ocean humans are definitely not the only one depending on mother nature for survival. truth is we actually don't need much just to survive on earth. our ancestors had very little to live with as compared to us now. but improvements, education, human evolution and development meant a life not just to survive, but rather to survive comfortably and luxuriously.

just by reflecting on ourselves individually would help us understand how greedy human beings are. we can definitely live in caves, depend on traditional ways of living like hunting chickens for meat and growing our own vegetable for self consumption, ride horses to move around for transportation. but of course who on earth would do that now. if i want meat, i might prefer organic grown chicken from Australia thats probably $50 per kilogram. if i want to go somewhere it has to be some top class airlines offering best services and top class comfort. our ways of living has became so high standards that whatever traditional means of the past became recreational for us now. for our own wants, we take down other species at the earth's expenses.

it is said that in bout 30 year's time the crude oil industry will flop as the resources are being consumed at a freaking high rate. having friends in the crude oil industry, my thought is that it probably wont be that soon and that research and technology has already been starting to look at other ways of getting energy. although it is nice and somewhat cold for some of us to think that scientists are just exaggerating, i personally do feel the need to conserve energy and perhaps time for us to slow down our development. anyway whats the point of moving so fast when not all countries is at the same rate of development?

anyway. conservation starts individually. perhaps its time to change the lightbulbs to those energy saving ones for a start even though i dread that they take quite a while to light up.
