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.
