                                                            ''Strange Days on Planet Earth''
Here are  some notes I took on the documentary we watched
Part 1
- Plants and animals are being found where they don't belong.
- Some people in new Orleans can't trust the floors in their houses because of the termites the main reason it's so bad is because almost everything is made out of wood termite food.
- when the termites want to communicate they vibrate their body's and they share their food.
Part 3
-at least 7,000 species are in motion
-collecting plates have been under water for 2 years
-earth will be the only planet without a cousin
-any animal that can't adapt will perish
-deeper snow makes it harder to avoid wolfs
-If people didn't do anything to help the earth nothing would change

In the documentary we watched during hurricane Katrina the oil rig was knocked down and until this day some people in new Orleans still don't have a house to go to after they get out of school or out of work so they can't go to their house and and people don't have family  that will let them stay with them because they live far away from their family or the don't talk to their family because of an argument. All the sources we use in our everyday life is made of oil for ex: hairspray, gel , shampoo, water, packages. Drink dirty water but they boil it to get the germs out the water they get diseases from drinking dirty water.oil was worth fighting for back then. Iraq started fighting over oil. Water bottles are bad for the earth. The scientist are trying to tell the people something but their not listening even though the scientist are trying to give them important information. People are trying to fight to take down wind turbines some people are saying that they don' t want wind turbines in their back yard because it make to much noise. Police stopped had to stop a wind farm in victoria and that person got in an arguement with his neighbor. some people are worried about the view. In india whatever possition your raised in that what you will be when you grow up and even longer. shutting down stores because they don't have anything to sell except for one but people have to sit in a long

The animals are endangered We are killing animals very slowly but soon there be none left all the animals will be extinct and the human population will go up as the animals die little by little. Animals are being poached. animals are one of Earths natural resource's. When ice caps fall they sometimes fall on animals and that kills  them. The ice caps fall into the water and kill any animal that's in the water whether it's a walrus, seal, and penguin.

The 2 topics I was most interested in were Teen pregnancy and Drugs in social issue because it shows me what age people usually get pregnant at and shows the different substances such as beer, wine, and some mushrooms. If I can do anything that helps with preventing people and kids from using drugs and from getting pregnant young. What would you tell them?

My thoughts about the documentary is that people need to clean up after themselves and stop  litering. I think global warming is harsh because hurricanes and tornado's knock down houses and some people don't have anywhere to go. The information I heard from the documentary made me angry. We can go and pick up trash to clean up the community and ask people to help stop pollution.

This is the bengal tiger. I like this image because i love tigers. It's my chineze zodiac. A chineze zodiac is a schme that relates each year to an animal and it's reputed attributed according to a 12-year cycle. They are cool. They also have different color like this one it's a white tiger.image retrieved from http://www.freefoto.com/
