In this short film, spoken word artist Prince Ea makes a powerful case for protecting the planet and appeals to the human race to create a sustainable future.

If we condense the lifespan of earth into 24 hours then we humans are living on this planet for just 3seconds, and in that 3 seconds, we are just destroying our half planet.

A beautiful question is being asked by Prince Ea. The scientific name "Homo Sapiens"("Wise Man")is given to humans. But is man really so wise? It's good to be smart but should not be too smart for selfish gain and interest, what man has been doing all these days.

#Man has made lots of progress. Man invented clever machines and technology to find out living conditions in space, to split atoms, and what not? But at the same time, man has used those atoms to create nuclear warfare and in the quest to explore the galaxy, has declined to hear the call and screams of our mother nature which is our home. He has closed his eyes and ears to all her pleas of help which needed.

#Man is not wise because wisdom knows, for every ACTION there is an equal and opposite REACTION. Every time we are shocked by seeing storms, droughts, wildfire, hurricanes than ever before due to an increased rate of pollution, the carbon footprints, the tree cutting, etc.than ever before. Man has increased the extinction rate of animals by 1000 than the normal rate. And it is assumed that in the next ten to hundred years various animals that were living on earth for longer years would become extinct due to the activity done by the man in those 3 seconds.
