That documentary was too crazy! It scares me to think about how much irreversible damage we did to the planet just today. It’s amazing to think that 99.9999% of all species that use to roam the earth are now extinct. It makes you wonder, why are we so special that we are gonna be any different from the other billions or trillions or how many species that have gone extinct. In the documentary it said that eventually only the insects will be left to rule the earth.
Something that was said during the film that really impacted me was “the healing power from understanding that is not just global warming, it’s not just fossil fuel dependence, it’s not just soil erosion, it’s not just contamination of our land and water, it’s not just the population problem and it’s not just all of those. The deterioration of the environment of our planet is an outward mirror of an inner condition, a like inside, like outside, and that’s a part of the great work.” Being a Christian myself I greatly believe this to be true. Because we live in a sinful world, of course the health of our planet isn’t what it should be; this planet was never created for this.
In terms of design, I find it very encouraging that there are people out there who do care about the impact of our actions. It astounds me that not everyone feels the same way after seeing so much devastation in the world. I guess it’s up to this generation to fix the problems that were caused by previous generations who did not know the consequences of their actions. After watching that video, we can no longer say we didn’t know.
