For this blog we have to choose 3 PSA's that have impacted us. Truthfully not many or none at all impacted me. They all show their own significance with their own types of problems humans cause. Emma's PSA about deforestation is interesting. Humanity is at fault for many problems with deforestation. But with growing populations around the world, mass quantities of items that are needed for human survival and growth are in jeopardy. I do not think entirely humanity will stop deforestation. As long as there's a company in need of a way to get money or a country relying on paper because they do not have proper electronics like computers trees will still be cut down. Then Jeff's PSA about wind energy got my attention. Today not much is put into consideration to replace our debt in finding fossil fuel. Wind energy is one of the energy's that is a good start but down the road using it for a long time will create more of a problem that it will give as a solution. Installing huge turbines itself can create massive problems to local people living around them. First off property values drop. Not because of the "look" of the turbines but because of Wind Turbine Syndrome.Many people living within 2 km (1.25 miles) of these spinning giants get sick. So sick that they often abandon (as in, lock the door and leave) their homes. Nobody wants to buy their acoustically toxic homes. It only produces 5% or less of Americas power. Then there's electric cars. To sum it up just read the bottom. Electric Cars are often marketed as having “zero green house gas emissions”. This is rather slanted because of course generating the electricty that the car consumes is most likely going to generate some greenhouse gases. Particularly in Australia most of our electrical energy comes from coal it is just like saying “I don’t kill animals, but I buy meat”.

What I thought

I didn't really discover anything through this project other than the fact that humanity destroys more on this than we create. My family barely lives green and wont. We will turn faucets off when they don't need to be on and same with lights we don't litter and thats just about it. It didn't affect me directly at all. Sure I'll pick up trash because that's just plain stupid and irresponsible not to, but nonetheless I don't think this project touched me at all. We don't need to live green to save a planet. We just need to know what we are fully doing to this planet and what else is also in the process when it's happening.  This project didn't change me or my family nor the fact that I  didn't like the project.

Environment for the me Jew or Palestinian

Living in an environment with your enemy 10 to 20 miles away from you would be a bit scary, intimidating and annoying. These kids are "manipulated" or grown up with this religion stating what the Palestinians or the Jew's are to them. From birth to death the population of Jews dislike the Palestinians for the problems with land issues. Both think the land belong to them and they both have "Proof" that shows it. I think one other their religions had a "misread" spot in their bible. Growing up in a situation like this is way different than what I live in. I do not have worry about our town getting raided by Delafield radicals or hate the Oconomowocians with a burning passion. They have to grow up and deal with their own Religion and the problems of what they stand for. In the movie both sides completely hated each other for the same reason. Nothing would or could change it. If I lived there and grew up there I probably would be the exact same. All because of what the elder and the Religion teach's. I'm not a very religious person but I do stand for what I believe. I believe that this whole movie and what it has showed has caught my attention on how Religion can be such a powerful thing. It puts lives on the line, wars, food, everything all the sake of what a populations Religion is.

poem thing

They respect the earth as if it was a god. They think the earth is the biggest gift that their gods could give them. The respect every little amount the used for their survival. My family cares about the environment but in the view of a native american we do not really preserve or try to.

Green

I could pick up trash when I find it. It would benefit the community to not only the environment. I have no idea how it works but i can create a huge compost for the community if it works. I'm sure they used some sort of movie maker. It wouldnt be hard to create something like that. Maybe a little time to explore the program they used.

My family really doesn't save much for the environment. We do if you count turning off faucet and turning off lights when no ones in the room. I guess it saves money and saves energy.

lets see how far ive come..

not far. Got my quote and my projects ill show. I'm planning on a prezi to do the talking for me. Very simple and very easy, at least to me. Add one or two songs that can give off an emotion. Few pictures little background and that's it. I have my 4 projects that I will show, I have one more than I should have for my academy class. They are:

Billie Joe Armstrong portrait
21st century skills/job
My sushi plate
Romeo and Juliet story remake (hopefully finished)

My quote is very good. It makes you think of you really want to analyze what it means. Not just a quote that seems like it is putting down school, rather pointing out irony in words that people speak. So in all I haven't started crap. But it will all be done.
