Last Call At The Oasis

The documentary “Last Call at the Oasis” provides a compelling reason why every person on earth should take a moment of thinking about the environment and water supply. The documentary provides not only an insight about water supply, but also revealing facts about the extent to which the environment is being deteriorated by human activity. In what seems to focus on the effect of humans on the environment, the documentary reveals the activities that have led to the destruction of the very earth that sustains life on earth. More importantly, the documentary gives facts that prove the reasons why countries should join efforts in caring for the environment. According to the documentary the destructive agents include asbestos, dioxins Hexavalent Chromium among others (Yu 1).

In the documentary, expert Erin Brockovich explains that one of the reasons why human beings are destroying the earth systems is because of taking things for granted. This concurs by the arguments by experts who explain that the persistence of environmental degradation is more about lack of care than lack of knowledge (Budzianowski 289). This documentary successfully provides the insight for all people who watch it to change their perspective. This is particularly important for the industries, who contribute a large amount of environmental pollution through their industrial activities.

As expert Jay Famiglietti warns in the documentary, the effects of global warming and human activity in the world will happen. Jay Famiglietti states that it is not about if the consequences will happen, but it is about when it will happen (Yu 1). In addition, the case of water crisis in Las Vegas shows a situation of desperation to get clean water from a world that is rapidly destroying sources of clean water. In this regard, we need to think again about the consequences of our activities on the environment. This way, we will create a conscious society that not only considers environmental conservation, but also its preservation for the future generation.
