Global Warming!
I decided to rent a documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth", a film by Al Gore. He starts by showing pictures of how the glaciers looked at one time and it certainly is not beautiful now. It looks like dirt and rocks, nothing beautiful about these wonderful sites or a place to travel to.
So what do you think will happen in 50 years? It made me think about what could happen once the earth has reached its highest level of global warming. Our kids’ kids will not see trees, the sun, or be able to play outside! What can we do, we ask ourselves, after the damage we have done over the years? How can we slow the process down, or stop our ozone layer from melting away? This is our only home, the only planet that we humans own until we find another planet.
Recycle, clean the air, stop big industries from polluting - how? When money talks? How can we humans start to take this situation serious? One person cannot just do it alone; it takes a group to get the word out and make both Houses of Congress pass a bill that will help the environment. We need to do more than just rent a documentary to let us know what is happening to our earth. We need to start now to help our kids’ kids have a place were they can breath clean air and be able to walk outside. Our earth is heating up each year more and more, and new viruses have occurred because of the warming of the earth’s atmosphere due to the destruction of trees in Brazil.
Although Al Gore has tried to pass a bill, he was not successful since the Senate and House turned his bill down because we are not that serious about wanting to do something. He even says it all has to do with politics, and laughs.
I ask myself what can we do? We do not have the money as many industries have to buy out those politicians to be in favor of preventing the earth’s ozone from melting away. Even though Al Gore continues to travel all over the world to teach about what is happening to our planet, he has reached few countries and few states in America willing to do something about pollution. He still says not all countries want to do anything because it would effect their business if his bills pass.
So what is more important: money or your health?
I recommend you see this documentary for yourself. You can see what we have done to our beautiful earth, and what is happening to those beautiful sites once loved by tourists. For example, in the Peruvian mountains Argentinean ice has melted completely, leaving only small amounts on the top of the mountain. We need to start cleaning up, protesting for our planet, and demanding our Congress start taking Global Warming seriously! Let’s try to do our share, even if it is something small, to help our planet. We need to think about the future or our kids’ kids future. Fifty years is not that far away, time goes so fast that we won't even realize fifty years have gone by.
