Are the main reason that has caused the wastes and the pollution this documentary showed to us. I really don't know how the planet Earth could ever recovered from such abuses by us. It's already a bit of outdated when I watched this movie in 2021.
There are lot of things that portrayed in it have been changed, but improvements and corrections are limited, most of the dreary scenes we saw in this movie are even from worse to worst, more uglier, more polluted, more destructive. Photographer, Edward Burtynsky and director Jennifer Baichwal, didn't shoot a sequel to us, so we just have to look elsewhere to know the current wasteland further deteriorated by us since 2006, but just our imagination, the prediction would be less hopeful than what we have seen in this documentary. Our Earth is definitely doomed.
