PSA Response

I think that all the PSA's were very good. A couple of them just really caught my eye but Danial Wax`s groups PSA. The pictures and music just caught your attention and made the PSA really good.  Right from the beginning it caught my attention because of the voice kinda seemed like a sad tone and the music was sad. I think there were some down parts of the PSA like a lot of reading but overall it was a good PSA. I also think that the rap PSA was a good one too. They put a lot of time and effort into it. The rap was very good too. There was a lot of rhymes. It was very interesting and it kept my attention so im pretty sure it did for other people. All the PSA`s were very good and showed exactly what was wrong and what needed to be fixed.

 I dont think these PSA`s will have much of a chance to impact on society. I think this because i know it is very hard to get people to change the way they live. I think the one about unplugging your phone charger will change people because that is very easy to do. Plus Many people already do this and its not really that hard to unplug it after you use it. I think if these PSA`s were made by older people or college students then they would have a better chance of impacting society but since it was just high schoolers then i dont think they will do much but whole knows maybe they will. I would like to see these PSA`s do something and changes peoples minds because we really need to change the way we live so the Earth lasts as long as it can. We need to worry about all the things that were in the PSA`s and change how we do those things.

Response to Human Footpringt video

a)      The video we watched really shocked me and made me realize just how much of an impact each of us have on the earth in our lifetime. It just made me made me realize that we do a lot of bad things to the earth and its things i didnt even realize did much. It made me feel scared because we are slowly killing the earth and after some time there will not be an earth left because of what we do to it. It also made me feel bad because i know i contribute tp harming the earth and a lot of the things i could avoid. 

b) There many things that shocked me but there are 3 that really stand out. One thing was that in one babies lifetime of wearing diapers they wear around 3,796 diapers. In a year there are 18 million diapers used. That is a lot of diapers and the worse part is that we dont evenm know exactly how long it takes for them to actually disintegrate. It probably out lives the babies that wear them. Another stat that i thought was crazy was that we eat about 47 million hamburgers each year. One hamburgers are not the greastest for you and thats a lot of cows that are killed for that many hamburgers. The third stat that i thought was crazy was that we chop down about 20 million christmas trees a year.

c) We should just try and make our footprint we make as small as possible. We should try and turn all lights off if we arent in the room and unplug things that we are not using. We can try and carpool if we can. Doing these things will make our human footprint smaller then what is now and make the earth can last longer. All these things should be done because if we continue to live the way we are then the earth will not last that long. It is very important to make the earth last as long as it can so humans and everything else can survive too.
