"Watch Film: A Fierce Green Fire." PBS. PBS, n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2014.In this documentary, "A Fierce Green Fire," different environmental movements are featured in order to project the severity of our acts and their consequences on the environment/health of the human race. Separated into five separate acts, the movement of the 1960s and the Sierra club's fight against dams in the Grand Canyon are featured in Act 1, pollution in the 1970s and victims of the Love Canal are featured in Act 2, Greenpeace and its campaigns to halt whale hunting is featured in Act 3, the effort to save the Amazon Rainforest and the rise in global resource crises are charted in act 4, and finally climate change is discussed in Act 5.


"Green Student U." Green Student U RSS. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2014.This article defines different types of pollution, their effects on the environment, and how we can take steps to reduce pollution. This article is helpful because it gives specific statistics to accompany reasons to fix pollution, and is very informative.


"What Is Recycling?" Benefits of Recycling. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Apr. 2014.This article defines recycling and its important role in the effort to conserve and reuse resources. The article also describes scenarios and places in which recycling can take effect, such as schools, work offices, and more. Many recycling programs have already been created and adopted by such organizations and are encouraged to be taken seriously.

I would like to see people recycle their waste (if recyclable)because it takes little to no effort, but makes a very lasting impact. I would also like to see the world lessen greenhouse gasses by cutting back on automobile transportation and placing limits on factory CO2 emissions.
