HOME, 8TH SEPTEMBER 2009 WEEK 5

HOME, our week 5 assignment for BEACA. We are linked the offical website to watch the HOME video by DR.IRENE

http://www.home-2009.com/us/index.html


Through out the video,it understands me how important our earth is. EARTH,living on it some different life,such humans,animals,tree,seas,ocean,mountain,vegetation etc. All of them are linked,needing eachother to survive.


The earth is now 4billion years old that we only live in it for 200,000 years ago. but by that short time,our earth has suffer from the destruction done by human which come from very different ways and aspect.humans are trying to improve the quality of life and their needs. This causes long-term effect to earth. Such destructions was deforestation,greenhouse,drilling,mining,shipping,industry,argriculture,transport etc. Yet they are not satisfied.By all this,as mention in the video, about 5,000 people a day die because of dirty drinking water, 1 billion people have no access to safe drinking water and in poverty.

Life on earth is linked,as mention by the speaker in the video.As what i understand,as we all should understand, All living things need eachother to survive.LIFE CYCLE is the most important thing. The sun,water,air, and soil are the main important source. Animals,tree,human and other living organisam need the sun,water,air and soil to survive to give them the energy,foods and resource for them to develop. As an example, THE SUN, it give energy to living thing,to cycle the water,to cycle the air and many other uses of the heat come from THE SUN. But without notice,human have made a big change in LIFE CYCLE which become unstable.

There are several factors that causes life cycle become unstable. The first factor is, the greenhouse.Burning and cutting down the forest in large scale. it has polluted the air which obviously causes global warming. The Ozone layer become thin which slowly increased the temperature of the earth itself. Second factor is the food production. The earth populations have incerased rapidly each year. which mean they have to produce more and more foods. until now,three quarter of the fishing ground is exhausted. large number of them are catch than they can reproduced. Third factor is water pollution. Toxic,ferteliser,rubbish that come from the industry and factory or from the individual itself. Many water living organisam have died due to polluted rivers and seas. This also effect the humans or animals when there's no more clean and safe water to drink.

Besides, as natural life cycle is linked,where is the "human and human" linked? Some part of the world population are still suffered from poverty and poorness. Some rich country spend their money to improve their military power,buildings,such as skyscraper,industries, but yet forget that there are still many people,lifes,out there that needs support from them.

In conclusion, We all should realise how important the EARTH to us. Today we might cannot stop it,but we still can reduced the destruction.and yet EVERYTHING on earth are connected. once we destroy them,it will effect everything. Then i will destroy us back. Not to forget the moral of the story, to help eachother,to support as we live on the same earth and share what we have.
