Just like the video stated human development gives us more privileges but it can also cause problems

For example

​If we keep moving at the rate we do we will eventually run out of resources be it food, shelter, and energy.

​Development is causing major damage to our planet with deforestation, loss of soil, and desertification.

Habitat Loss

Our carbon footprint continues to increase as our population increases and our dependency on fossil fuels is not good.
