Comparing Avatar And The Oil Sands
The movie avatar is a wonderful learning experience. It shows the relationship between the native people of Pandora, Na’vi, and how they sustain their environment and the resources provided. The Alberta oil sands are one of the biggest resources in North America. Located in three major areas in northeast Alberta, they are known as the world's third largest oil reserve. To some extent we can compare both of these environments socially, culturally and ecologically.
Avatar and the oil sands are alike in many different ways, such as in social sustainability. In the movie, humans have used up all of the resources earth had provided so now they have come to pandora to obtain unobtainium, a resource which is meant to be unattainable by humans.
