Why border lying?

In today’s society many people don’t like recycling because they see no point in it. However there is a few that do recycling. It all depends on where the person lives and how they have being brought up. Many people like to think that just because they walking and turn off their light it means that they are being sustainable, but there is more to sustainable living than that.

Yes I will say that in the further I will like to drive rather than walk, even though I know it is not that sustainable. The problem with people who don’t live sustainable live is that they are denial of the issue and don’t want to deal with it, but for now I would rather walk and live a sustainable life so that the next generation will benefit from my action. 

Although a car will be a fast way of getting to where ever I want, it’s not sustainable. My dream house will be to live in a big house, but I would like to live in an area which is sustainable and does lots of recycling. The government need to be tougher on living sustainable, the places that are less sustainable should be made to live sustainable by enforcing a rule that it is a crime not to be sustainable.


South Africa would be one of my ideal places to go on holiday. Because it has a nice whether climate, and I will not need to worry about living sustainably. I would rather have a cheapest handset, rather than a smart phone. It does not cost a lot and does not have a big impact on the climate.  I will not mind giving up shopping for a month or two, a year is too long.  I love to shop; shopping is a part of me. Giving it up for a year will be very difficult for me because  I like buying thing for my family and myself.

I love eating my fruit and I will find it hard to give up eating fruit. I like to eat it as snacks, and it makes me feel that am eating healthy. There is still hope to make change in the world today; the government should be more forceful in making people live sustainable. There should be a law put in place, where people are made to recycle.

Although many people are lazy to do live a sustainable life, by putting the laws in place it will stop people being lazy. One way of thing the government can do to improve people being lazy and living a sustainable life is by building new houses and changes the areas that are not sustainable. I am sure that deep inside people want to live sustainably but don’t know how to.

All the local authorities should have a centre where people can get information on living more sustainably, they should also have the community all join together and work towards building a better sustainable community and life.

An Inconvenient Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The purpose of the movie is to show people how global warming is effecting the world and how their action effect everybody around them. When the movie first stared it did not interest me but as I continued to watch it, it caught my attention. In addition what made me lose interest in the movie was the tittle, as I did not understand how it linked with the purpose of the movie.

But as the video went on I began to get the link between the two. I like the fact that he starts of by having a picture and talking in the background. This is very effect as it makes people see how the environment looked before global warming started. From the beginning of the movie the message was very clear, throughout the movie I did not forget what the message was about.  He uses powerful images to get this point across. The most effective part for me in the movie was when he showed the picture the South Pole and other famous place, of how they looked before global warming and how they look now.

Images used in the video played an important part in making sure that the movie is effect.  I disliked the fact that he had personal stories in the video, I don’t think that it has anything to do with message he wants to get across.  The movie made me think of how my actions affect the earth and the people round me.    The right information where used in order to get people to see how their actions have affected the earth. Some parts of the movie I found boring, for example when he talks about the research  his teacher did.  

The reason why the movie is effect is because it points out how the world has changed. Even though I knew how my global warming affected the earth, the movie made me it more real to me. Furthermore I got to see how badly global warming has affected people, making me think of what I can do to help reduce these effect.   I learnt the reason why the rate of carbon dioxide goes up each year.   The movie was not too technical or confusing, it is very clear and goes straight to the point it wants to make. The movie is very irrelevant as it shows people the impact of global warming and what will happen to the earth if they don’t do anything about it.
