declare mint dangers,
00:03 - 00:04
the human overpopulated,
00:05 - 00:09
that leads to water scarcity, food waste and pollution.
00:11 - 00:12
Humans are the problem
00:13 - 00:15
we have over populated
00:15 - 00:15
the planet
00:16 - 00:18
with the population explosion.
00:18 - 00:24
Over the last 20 years, the consumption of water has reached a critical,
00:24 - 00:25
really low level.
00:26 - 00:27
The shortage of water
00:27 - 00:29
affects everyone and everything
00:29 - 00:32
from humans to animals to plants.
00:32 - 00:33
Plants.
00:34 - 00:36
Humans destroy nature
00:37 - 00:38
waste a lot of food
00:39 - 00:40
and pollute the air
00:40 - 00:42
deforest. Ization
00:42 - 00:44
is occurring in many countries.
00:45 - 00:46
It is a
00:46 - 00:48
Practice two grown food,
00:49 - 00:50
but it hurts the environment.
00:51 - 00:52
The sad thing is
00:53 - 00:57
that we waste so much about the food and we grow
00:57 - 00:58
and produce
00:58 - 00:59
that waste
01:01 - 01:03
can pollute the air we breathe.
01:04 - 01:06
What is even worse
01:06 - 01:09
is that we have created cars
01:09 - 01:11
to drive in
01:11 - 01:12
machines to make things,
01:13 - 01:14
but it pollutes the air
01:16 - 01:16
as well.
01:19 - 01:20
Water scarcity,
01:20 - 01:23
the shortage of water affects everyone and everything
01:24 - 01:25
from humans to
01:26 - 01:27
animals and plants.
01:28 - 01:31
The average person uses roughly 200
01:31 - 01:32
1000
01:32 - 01:33
gallons of water a year.
01:34 - 01:36
That is unsustainable
01:36 - 01:37
for our glow.
01:38 - 01:38
Rivers
01:39 - 01:39
and lakes
01:40 - 01:43
begin to dry up because there is not enough rainfall
01:44 - 01:46
all because the climate is getting hotter.
01:47 - 01:49
No water means it is harder
01:49 - 01:50
for things to grow
01:53 - 01:57
deforest Ization. Dis forest ization is the permanent removal
01:57 - 02:01
of trees to make room for something besides forest.
02:01 - 02:04
As the population grows, people need to eat.
02:05 - 02:07
Some countries cut down trees
02:07 - 02:08
to grow more crops.
02:09 - 02:11
The forests, changes the climates,
02:13 - 02:16
the amount of food we produce and waste away.
02:16 - 02:19
It's disgusting how much food we throw away.
02:19 - 02:22
We throw away a third of our food,
02:22 - 02:23
all of our food.
02:23 - 02:24
A third
02:24 - 02:26
1/3 is so much food
02:27 - 02:29
and all of that
02:29 - 02:31
wasted food decomposes,
02:32 - 02:33
pushing gasses into the air,
02:34 - 02:35
greenhouse gasses
02:35 - 02:36
going
02:36 - 02:37
into
02:38 - 02:39
the environment
02:40 - 02:41
and atmosphere
02:41 - 02:43
and causing climate temperatures to heat up
02:46 - 02:46
the food.
02:47 - 02:48
The next thing
02:48 - 02:50
is what the fast food industries
02:51 - 02:52
put food in.
02:53 - 02:55
Not only does it release
02:56 - 02:59
toxins into our food but into our environment
03:00 - 03:02
as it sits in landfills.
03:02 - 03:04
Food packaging containers
03:04 - 03:07
uses a lot of resources like energy,
03:08 - 03:08
water
03:09 - 03:10
and chemicals
03:11 - 03:11
to produce
03:12 - 03:14
plastic, packaging materials
03:14 - 03:18
and containers are commonly made up of thermoplastic
03:19 - 03:20
residents.
03:22 - 03:24
The phylum plastic containers,
03:24 - 03:27
they hand out in grocery stores and fast food restaurants
03:27 - 03:28
is a bad thing.
03:31 - 03:33
There are microplastics
03:33 - 03:36
that are broken down from the food containers
03:37 - 03:38
and leak
03:38 - 03:39
into
03:40 - 03:41
our food and drinks
03:42 - 03:45
the garbage and even the water supply plastic
03:46 - 03:51
releases toxins into the atmosphere which causes air pollution in global warming.
03:54 - 03:57
We are here and we are here to find a garbage man.
03:58 - 03:59
Plastic
04:01 - 04:03
is the danger of the planet.
04:04 - 04:07
It fills up landfill sites
04:07 - 04:09
and worst of all,
04:09 - 04:12
about 80 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean.
04:13 - 04:14
And worst of all
04:15 - 04:16
it hurts.
04:16 - 04:17
See like
04:18 - 04:19
like just turtles,
04:19 - 04:20
just look how sad he is.
04:21 - 04:21
A little turn
04:23 - 04:25
burning fossil fuels is an awful time.
04:26 - 04:31
Finally, humans create things to make their world a so called better place.
04:31 - 04:34
Cars help people move around and deliver food.
04:34 - 04:37
However, people have made so many cars
04:37 - 04:40
than they need to burn fossil fuels.
04:40 - 04:43
The fossil fuels have bad effects on the environment.
04:44 - 04:46
The Co two is emitted into the atmosphere
04:46 - 04:48
and that causes air pollution
04:49 - 04:50
and climate change.
04:50 - 04:52
We burn a lot of fossil fuels.
04:53 - 04:54
It is estimated
04:54 - 04:58
that people burn 15 billion metric tons of fossil fuels
04:58 - 05:00
a yearly globally.
05:03 - 05:09
Those fossil fuels are the coal, gas, oil and electricity we produce and use.
05:10 - 05:11
There
05:11 - 05:14
are too many people on our planet.
05:14 - 05:17
We consume tons of food and waste and water.
05:18 - 05:20
We are wasteful and we pollute the
05:21 - 05:23
environment through
05:23 - 05:24
that waste.
05:24 - 05:26
People need to change
05:26 - 05:27
the way
05:27 - 05:28
we live
05:28 - 05:30
or there might not be
05:30 - 05:32
anything left on this Earth
05:35 - 05:37
registrations.
05:37 - 05:38
This is
05:39 - 05:41
this is the legislation form
05:41 - 05:45
21 2021 called the Forest Act
05:45 - 05:46
Of 2021.
05:47 - 05:48
It helps
05:48 - 05:49
countries accountable
05:50 - 05:52
for destroying the forests
05:52 - 05:53
for agriculture.
05:54 - 05:57
An organization for the environment.
06:00 - 06:00
Okay
06:01 - 06:02
Environment organizations,
06:03 - 06:04
an organization
06:04 - 06:07
for the Environment I found is called
06:07 - 06:08
amazon Watch.
06:09 - 06:10
They help protect
06:10 - 06:12
the Amazon rainforest.
06:12 - 06:14
They were created 25 years ago
06:15 - 06:16
in an effort to help
06:16 - 06:17
fight
06:18 - 06:21
cutting down forests, which changes quickly climb
