" Earth is a planet in the Milky Way galaxy, the third planet from the star of the Sol system and the home world of humanity. By 2129, Earth had undergone significant deforestation coupled with the almost total extinction of wildlife on the ground and in the oceans. Due to the destruction of the natural environment and vast urban expansion, the RDA (Resources Development Administration) began to grow vast sea farms of edible protein and nutrient-rich algae, which is then flavored with spices and other ingredients, in order to feed the twenty billion people of Earth both cheaply and effectively. Algae become the staple food for many humans on Earth and the Moon
Earth was rocked by a significant intra-continental conflict in the 22nd century - the conflict in which Jake Sully was paralyzed - and from which the global energy crisis arose, with a great demand for natural resources, and with the those of earth depleted, all eyes turned to extra-terrestrial worlds. Earth's space programs had by this point evolved to the point of being able to send a manned mission to the nearby Alpha Centauri star system, in which humanity found a diamond in the ruff: the habitable moon of Pandora. In the hope that the vast deposits of Unobtainium located on Pandora could save Earth from its energy crisis, humanity began vast mining operations that cut deep scars into the moon's surface.
Description
In the 22nd century, the population of the planet has more than tripled since the previous century. Due to pollution, famine, poverty and war, the population has topped out at around 20 billion people. The Earth is now a decaying world, covered in a haze of greenhouse gasses. Overpopulation, war, and pollution are only some of the things that are slowly consuming what is left of the planet. Anyone left out in the open or even in the cities, anyone with resources left, have to wear oxygen replenishing cleaners over their faces just to survive one earth day. The less fortunate among them are left on their own.
Notes
- What few images of Earth there are seem to be heavily influenced by the film Blade Runner. A film by Ridley Scott, the director of Alien in which the sequel was directed by James Cameron.
- Earth is briefly mentioned in the film when Jake is talking to Eywa through the bond saying, "There is no green where I come from... They killed their mother." And at the end of the film where Jake states, "The aliens went back to their dying world". "
