My Anti-Drug

My anti-drug is making short videos and sharing them with friends. Whenever I like having fun, I go out of my way to make the small short clips I make somewhat creative. I really do try to be the creative genius and make my videos worth watching. A few months back, I had uploaded a video of me reviewing one of my favorite books, Divergent, and I talked about it like I was a professional critic. I think the best way to describe my anti-drug is the word "Vlogist." Vlogist is a person who video blogs about what their interests are. When I record my videos, I thoroughly enjoy becoming a different person on purpose, alter-egos. These alter-egos allow me to express myself in a different light, maybe a light that is more or less accepted in today's normality. I often much vlog about anything that comes to mind. The application "Snapchat" has become of great use in my daily life now as I am always updating my whole day there via videos and it is the place I go to to rant about topics that really just irk me. It's a tool that allows me to vent with no boundaries.

What I Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

"An Inconvenient Truth" was a very informative movie that I'm sure raised awareness around the time of it's release and does even so today. Even more so, I have always been influenced by the awareness environmentalists. I believe the plant is a sacred place that we should humans should take more care of. Pollution and littering makes me so angry. Pollution, on one hand, is not the fault of those who drive the cars in my opinion because it is not up to them to choose what will fuel their vehicle. On the contrary, it is the fault of those big trusts who make gasoline the only means of fueling up the car and allowing it to run. Littering is the fault of human kind as they choose to throw their trash wherever they please when there are trash cans surrounding various places. In the film, the long term effect pollution would have on planet Earth really surprised me. Bottom parts of Florida would sink, and especially the land of the Netherlands would disappear for good due to the 20 feet increase in the ocean level. Personally, I have taken action and have been active in a club named "Communities for a Better Environment", which is a club dedicated to bettering the lives of those families under low-income communities as those families are usually the ones exposed too harsh pollutions. Communities like Maywood, Bell, Huntington Park, Cudahy, Commerce are all surrounded by factories that release too much pollution that in turn can cause health defects to pregnant mothers, people with weak immune systems, and the elderly. Not to mention that some of these factories knowingly continue to produce their products even after action by the people of the community have taken a stand, and the city itself have too. Also, I think glaciers are very pretty and should be kept around for more than we are letting them exist.
