TASK 3 - Carla Mata

Before answering task 3 I'd like to apologize for the method of answering. Apparently my internet browser doesn't save the Blogger cookies, therefore it doesn't allow me to post any comments unless it is posted in a particular way, not able to be activated by me. So, I decided that it was best just post my comment directly on the blog.

As any National Geographic documentary, this video proved to be of most interest. Not only it shows the greatness of the number 7 billion using lots of curious information, as it also shows the importance of its impact on Earth.
This number of people was supposed to be achieved in 31st October, I think. The population rate has been increasing seriously... Enough to scare us about fit in all of us 7 billion: even though it seems that shoulder-to-shoulder we could fill Los Angeles (showing us that space is not what we should be concerned about), the 5 born people to 2 deaths per second ratio alerts us to the balance problem.
If the population is increasing every second and humans are living longer and the longer. However there seems to be less and less resources. The way people keep spending energy, water and so on, as the world revolved around them, creates unbalance for our Earth and makes us wonder if will get to see the 9 billion video in 2045.
Each of us is one of 7 billion reasons to care for our planet and its 7 billion human inhabitants. We may think that the choices we make aren't important - we're one out of 7 billion - but they're different for everybody. But, if you think about it, they'd do a big difference if you multiplied it by 7 billion, specially if they were the right ones.
In my opinion, what we need is more education on the matter of useful resources and the correct way to use them in a sustainable way so we could learn what choices to make and, that way, spare and protect the only planet blessed with the gift of life on the whole Solar system: the Earth

Task 3 - 7 Billion

Watch the video 7 Billion by National Geographic. After carefully thinking about it, to write a comment on it.

  

7 Billion

"The world's population is expected to hit seven billion in the next few weeks. After growing very slowly for most of human history, the number of people on Earth has more than doubled in the last 50 years. Where do you fit into this story of human life? "
