The film, "A Green Fierce Fire" was about how we have changed our habits and turned our environment into a greener and more environmentally friendly state today. There were two men who saw a whaling boat kill sperm whales. Is was tragic because of how it affected them emotionally, not just because of the killing. There were mass parts of land being taken down by the government. People didn't like this because of the nature the people had right in their own backyard. They wanted clean water as well, because pollution screwed up the water with chemicals in it. It caused a deforming of genes and a lot of people were having genetic mutations forced on their kids which caused an outrage. Eventually they got help, but it took a long time for the government to act.
Some things that I think are wrong with our environment are:
There is a lot of pollution in Urban America and we can't just lie around letting it take over our water and ruin the future of America. Using filters for water and getting extra help from the government to make sure the food and water we're digesting is good for us can help with pollution.
Global Warming is still very much a problem and there are many things we can do to help but we really aren't making the grade. There is a lot to be done to save this planet and we need to step it up to make sure we don't have to leave in the future.
