    we must realize these problems!
    "8 billion angels" was a documentary movie by Victor Velle. The film was mainly focused on multiple issues that can be caused by overpopulation. In my perspective, I think this movie is a reminder to all people living on the earth and we must realize we are destroying our planet.

    The first issue mentioned in the film is in Japan, the ocean is highly polluted because of overpopulation. They even experimented by putting a tiny amount of carbon dioxide into the seawater, the seawater is chemically changed, and that change can cause damage to the species in the ocean. These carbon dioxides mostly come from us, we burn fossil fuels and fly around the world to import and export goods. These are all reasons why carbon dioxide is increasing in the sea. The second issue is land, and we can use America as an example. Farmers in America found out that they are losing the waters due to global warming caused by overpopulation. The film even mentioned worries to our future generation about a decrease in water. In future generations, are they going to face lacking water issues, which might cause them to death? So we must acknowledge the importance of water. It was our resource to keep us alive we often forgot water is not unlimited. The third issue is the most important issue that can be caused by overpopulation which is air. In the movie, by using India as an example, most Indians claimed that their air is toxic because of smoke from fires, cars, and buses. Rich people in India can buy masks in order to prevent the poisonous air, but these poor people can't. They can only breathe it.

    Many scenes from the movie also have proven the problem of air in India. Usually, air doesn't have color, but in India, they do. This toxic air causes 80,000 people's death each year in India. But that is not the only problem overpopulation causes in India. Because of the rapid growth of the population, the amount of garbage has also increased. The Delhi river is the water resource for most people living in that city, but now that river is polluted because of garbage. In the movie, we can see there is full of waste in that river, and the color of the river is almost close to black! Because of overpopulation in India, many "poor" people have to breathe in the toxic air and bathe and drink the black water from the river because they don't have enough money to buy clean water and a mask.

    To "save our world," the movie has given us a few options: we can teach the young generation about these issues, or the government can set up the birth policy just like how China does, for each family with only one child. Personally speaking, I truly believe everyone in this world should watch this movie. It was significant and taught us many lessons. Because we often forget we are not the only species living on this planet, we are sharing this planet with other species living in this world. We must be responsible for our own mistakes and start to face and fix these problems.
