(Shanice)- Yesterday we watched Al Gore's documentary on global warming. It was very inspirational. It made me think a lot about how much we need to change. I encourage everyone to watch it. check it out!!
($tan the man)- after the al gore documentary, we watched "Recycling in Ghana". It explained to us what E-waste is and how countries are getting polluted by it. some examples of places were India, China and Africa. they also found computers from school district of philadelphia that were dumped in Ghana. overall it explained how companies are lying to consumers about how they dispose of electronics.
(Vinny the Pooh)- The way these companies try to recycle is just stupid. Just so they could save a few dollars they dump all their rusted metal in not only Ghana but in other developing countries like China and India. It doesn't just stop there, people who are in poverty are forced to burn these metals in order to make a living, but as they burn these metals they're breathing in toxic which can kill them.
(Ant)- The video on Global warming gives lots of facts on the consequences that can happen if we dont try to make a change. Scientist say that in the next 50 years the sea level can raise up to 20 feet. If the sea level raises 20 feet, half of new york will be swimming under water. The video shows alternatives and solutions to help reduce this catastrophy..Imagine that in fifty years philadelphia will be under water..

Its good that you all took the time to discuss the issues with global warming. today people don't seem to realize that recycling has an impact on America. I believe if people take the opportunity to recycle things will start to change.
