This video was a summary of earth day and how it started. It started when a bunch of people started to become more aware of the horrible acts that were happening to wild life and our environment. People decided there was something that needed to be done. So a group of people started to try to stop the whalers and save the environment. As time went on more and more people joined in on this movement. The presence of saving the world was become more and more present. Many actions were taken place but all were either denied or couldn't get through congress. Even today earth day is a big deal for people all around the world and saving the environment is still a big deal to many.
In the Article "How Much Gas Does America Consume it describes the statistics of Americas gas consumption and how if we keep going on this path, eventually we will run out of fuel for our cars and have to start using natural fuels like electricity to power our cars and other things. I believe that if America and the world keeps going down this path than an epidemic will happen later on and it will be a bad time for America and the world.
In the second article i choose it talks about Global Warming and how it is quickly becoming a big problem for the world. If global warming keeps going at the pace it is going the it will only be within time that the world will not be able to survive anymore. this article discusses the key issues that represent global warming and address the issues at hand. this article also provides good information on how us as humans could help stop global warming.
All of my articles were very compelling. to address these issues i would first need to understand the key issues. For the first article i would say the everyone should be limited to a annual fuel consumption and if you go over that you will be charged heavily. for the global warming one, if everyone contributes and stops treating the environment as they are then we will see global warming going down solving the issue.
