I like watching National Geographic. I remember reading the magazines that my father would receive. The magazines were excellent resources for many book reports that I wrote. Remember having to write out our reports? Something the schools lack today.

Anyway, last night I was watching Aftermath: Population Zero. Think about this:

What would happen if every single person on Earth simply disappeared? Gone. Not dead, just gone. This is the astounding story of a world we will never see. A world without people, where city streets are still populated by cars, but without drivers. Nobody to fix bridges, repair buildings or maintain power plants. After being controlled by humanity for millennia, nature reclaims the earth. But how would that work? How long would skyscrapers, nuclear power plants, and our homes last if abandoned? How would wild and domestic animals fare without us? Will the Eiffel Tower outlast the Statue of Liberty? Aftermath: Population Zero gives us a chance to see the impact of human beings by seeing how Earth would adapt without us.

If one of the nuclear power plants were to blow up in which would be worse than Hiroshima it would take approximately 30 years for our enviroment to return to normal. It would take at least 230 years for the Eiffel tower to crumble down. The Statue of Liberty would stand for at least 200 years but without the dirty enviroment the Statue of Liberty would start to look like the day it was brought over to America. Trees would become taller, and everything on earth would return to the way it use to be before us. Now, think about this: Our cars, as we know it give off so much carbon monxide, our homes are giving off deadly fumes as well and it is killing us that some of that is causing our global warming. It is really scary to think that the Antartica is loosing its icebergs at an alarming rate dumping into the sea. If it continues, places such as New York City will be underwater.

I tell you, I do not want to be around when our earth starts destruct because of our carelessness. If we do not stop and think about what we are doing the future generation will be in deep trouble.

Get into watching National Geographic to keep you in tune of how our enviroment is changing.
