The message of the video is pretty simple and clear. We as humans have created a destruction to this earth that we live in. Examples of these destruction is our lack of care most of the time. We simply throw our garbage wherever we want to without even thinking twice. Recycling is also not in our top priorities because of the fact that we find it bothersome. We use plastic instead of paper simple because it is easier and convenient for us without taking into consideration that it takes years and years for it to decompose. Let us also not forget the fact that plastic causes great harm to the animals since some of them mistake these plastics for food. This causes the death of hundreds of animals because it harms their digestive systems. Forests are either getting cut or burned down by the industry giants. As this happens animals are losing their homes. The lands loses it strength which in turn causes landslides because of the evident lack of trees. our modes of transportation emits harmful gases that are toxic to the earth and ironically even to us humans. We sometimes refuse to admit that our vehicles are in need of a a repair because of the excessive amount of smoke that it is emitting because these repairs would cause us money. Lives are lost, the air turns filthier and filthier every single day and we are here bathing in our ignorance and refusal to accept reality.
Over the years our greed has gotten the best of us that we fail to see how bad the condition of the earth is getting. We refuse to make sacrifices that will surely help the earth in a big way. Examples of these are recycling our simply reusing out products instead of buying new ones. Cutting down on the excessive use of paper especially when we do not really need it. If you look around there are a ton of ways to help the environment. The only thing that we have to do is try. The message of the video was conveyed through an apology. An apology to the future generations. And after all that we can see that we do really owe an apology to the future generations simply because there is a big possibility that they may not be able to experience the richness and beauty of the earth. They may not be able to see what nature really has to offer and how much of an impact it has in our day to day lives.
The audiences of the video are the future generations who might watch it many many years from now. They will see how our greed and carelessness destroyed the earth. And most importantly it is directed towards us people in the present. It is to awaken us,to open our eyes to the reality that change must begin now. The message is crystal clear and effective because it managed to tug at the heartstrings of its viewers. It convinced us that it may be bad right now but it is not yet too late to change. To actually try and change our ways in order to help bring back the beauty and health of the earth. We as youth have to step up and make a difference. This difference that will serve as hope, hope that one day we will be able to restore everything that we have destroyed .
"The only thing I want is to awaken all humans on the planet that we are living on Mother Earth."
