Resource Activity Fragile Earth

I was touched by the interviews of the 5000 people from 70 countries in Ted’s presentation. No matter where we live in the world or who we are, we all want to do good and be good. But it is sad, to see that the choices that we make are not usually the most environmentally friendly. This has to do with  where we come from, whether we have access to education, the economy of a  country and above all to the increasing disparity between the poor and the rich. Population rise which is somehow linked to poverty and thus, the desire to acquire more especially by capitalistic countries, are probably the 
main causal factors of  environmental destruction. Furthermore, It is sad to see how our planet has changed so drastically in the past 50 years, especially the Himalaya’s ice loss, the melting of the glaciers and so much more. Today more people are aware of the metamorphosis of our planet into a less sustainable one, but to what extent are we as individuals or as a government willing to go in order to restore the damage caused to the planet.
