∆The 4 minute animated video is on how human activity has a negative impact on biodiversity due to over-exploitation of natural resources

The video begins with the depiction of the future condition of what the world might be in 2100 with higher pollution rates, rising temperatures, contaminated water...

This is possible considering the situation of:-
1)Over consumption of fossil fuels for energy generation results in higher levels of greenhouse gases causing temperature rise.
2)Deforestation -
- Effects on human as well as animals.
- Animals entering human space for shelter.
- Imbalance in our natural
Systems...No rains ,drought ,floods..Etc
3)Plastic:-
-Plastic is not the issue of the time......Single use plastic is.
- Major cause is the smaller bits and fragments of single use plastic that causes problems.
4)Enormous amounts of wastes generated that contaminate the water bodies and damage the underwater biodiversity.

ALTERNATIVES

•CHOOSE GREEN: Bamboo spoons,paper/metal straws,
reusable water bottles etc..
•SHOP WISELY: Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
•EDUCATE OTHERS: You can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
