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.
