Explanation / Answer

Answer:

S1) The concept of the movie is about the exploitation of natural resources and its adverse impact on human and envirnment.

E2) 1: The use of natural resources and 2: The working of peoples in the industries

Because if the natural resources could not be used, we could not attained the level of convinience as present today. And if the making of such stuff are stop, then where do the employees go for their work and earning.

E3) There are inter relationship among natural resource, industries and markets. As any natural resource is being explore and excavates then goes to industries for its refining and polishing and finally goes to market for the consumption of peoples. If the demand of stuff would not exist among the society then there would not be the market of that stuff and also would not be the industries for that.

In the video, Annie Leonard analyze the consumption of the natural resources through which I surprised because the consumption is getting too high and if there would be the same trend for next years than people need 5 same planets to overcome their demands. Therefore, if we want to give the same benefits for our future generation then we need to use the resources very carefully in efficient manner.
