Cite 2 more sources about some aspect of the Environmental movement that 'speaks to you.' This could be managing fisheries for recreation, saving the whales, etc., clean air, clean water, solar power, nuclear power, clean coal. I don't really care, but don't be contrarian for contrarians sake. Look for something good about the Planet, and dig
The movie was about many things they talked about but what stuck out in my head was the love canal and how they dumped toxic chemicals in the canal. The canal then over flowed into peoples homes creating children to become sick and have birth defects. In the video they dumped over 20,000 toxic chemicals in the canal.One over protective mother got concerned with her child's health and called the school and told them they cant be that close to the canal anymore. The school thought that this was absurd at first but then they found out that she was not the only parent with A sick kid. The school and the angry parents confronted the government asking them to give them money so they could move. They did this because the toxic waste was a health concern. The government said not at first but then said yes because of all the protests.
Whales play a very important role in the health of our environment and our understanding of marine mammals as well as playing an important role in helping growing economies that rely on whale watching and other spectator activities bring in capital through tourism. Whales can eat 15,000 squid a day and that is good because they keep the squid population in check. If we didnt have whales numbers of marine life would starve to death due to overpopulation in that species. Whales will be on the verge of extiction if we keep killing them. Although whales fat is used for many things it is not worth killing some of the most elegant creatures of the sea for.
