The movie The 11th Hour

In the movie The 11th Hour by Leonardo DiCaprio, economist, scientist, biologist and advocates discuss what is happening to the natural environment. The natural environment is earth and these people discuss what has been happening to it over the last hundred years. They go through many different things that can be the caused to why the earth has changed so much, but there are a few things that have changed the world to a great extent. Two main keywords that can be used for the world changing are deforestation, isolation and nature.

Deforestation is when forest are being cleared of the trees that are inside of it. Deforestation has had a huge affect on the world. 90% of the world's forest have deforested over the last hundred years. That means that out of 100% only 10% natural trees are still alive. That affects the world by a great amount because the life forms living on earth need trees for oxygen without any trees it is harder to breathe. If every tree in the world dies out people will also die because of lack of oxygen.

Another problem that affects the world a lot is isolation. Isolation is when something or someone separates their selves from others is something else. People live on earth, but even though they live on earth they isolate themselves from it. People don't realize that earth and nature was here before people were. People take advantage of the world that is in front of them and just change it into what they want. Instead of co-existing with nature people separate themselves from it and try to control it. Nature does twice as much work for free then the ecosystems do, but people still isolate themselves from it and try to ignore it. If people continue to isolate their selves from nature then they will worsen the world because they are not learning from it.

The last problem is nature. Nature is the trees, grass and bushes that are in forest and around the world. The main problem with nature being around is that people don't seem to realize it exist. People are not realizing that nature should be treated fairly too. Nature is taken advantaged of and stead of people respecting nature they use it and do what ever they want with it.
