Wow those photographs are scary but weirdly beautiful as in a form of art. It is true that our comsumption is putting us in a dangerous sitution and sooner than later we will not be able to get out of this destructive path. It is as Chris Jordan said "a slow motion apocalypse in progress", which means revelation in greek and to truly think about that fact in years to come it will be a revelation to every human that we destroyed the earth. Isn't that mind boggling, that one day there will be no earth because of consumerism that form waste that killed life. How do you imagine no earth?
I think we are heading to the point that everyone will have to change to do more for the earth, not just a couple but all 6.5 billion of us. Furthermore, we need to take blame for our actions as Chris Jordan said "we each are anonymous and no one is in charge or accountable for the consequences". It make us think its okay to pollute, it's okay to shop like wild people, it's okay to waste what others don't have, it's our thinking that need to be changed first then our actions and habits. We need a world not material stuff because that doesn't last billions of years like our precious EARTH! If we don't take care of it who will, we have the resources now, it's possible to heal the earth now if we got together and started, we can end the threat now!

blog 4
Hiii there...:) My blog is going to be about the leisure time i spend watching tv and shopping. To be totally honest, watching tv is what i do in my spare time. I go to school, come home and watch any show that's interesting at that moment or i babysit and watch tv until i go to class. But for the internet part, i don't own a computer so i get on my iphone and browse through Youtube to check out anything involving politics or comedy (yea i no kind of boring lol). Now i know that i will not watch tv if i have a assignment or homework due the next day and i haven't done it. Let's say per week...ummm i would say i watch television about maybe lol 15 to 20 hours if i don't have any plans.
The next part was about shopping, this is in all honesty, i do not shop at all unless i have extra money left over. I'm not saying i'm a freak of nature but shopping isn't my thing, if i need it then i'll get it but if i want it i wait until i have extra money to afford it. I guess i can say if i was flowing with money i would probably shop until my knee caps fall off but on behalf of all the broke college students out there, shopping for pleasure is not an option. The activities that i see that brings me joy is seeing my family and actually babysitting my niece but also gaining knowledge from different sources like reading, listening to things, and the news... it give me things to think about. I can say my time matches my priorities because when i know something needs to be done it gets done. Futhermore, i would change the fact that i stay in the house alot and i feel like i need to get out and have fun, just to enjoy different places and meet new people.

BLog 3
To be totally honest, i have no idea what will really stop global warming completely. But i heard last week on the second presidential debate, Barack Obama say, to stop the progress of global warming, we ( meaning Government) needs to invest in Fuel-efficient vehicles, Renewable energy, wind solar, clean coal, clean energy and others. I feeling the government is less involve and being that Sen. Barack Obama wants to as president to make government apart of reversing global warming by investing in billions of dollars is what needs to happen.
I think that's one of the major steps we need is government involvement and understanding that this problem is real and isn't going away. That's why i think if Mr. Obama gets in office, he will get the best scientists and also include Al Gore in solving the global warming crisis. Not to make this a polictical blog, which i think i'm doing lol, but i think if MCcain wins, drilling for oil will just make global warming worst and being that Mccain and Palin don't believe global warming is a man made issue, shows they don't believe how our actions effects the earth. It's sad how that slight difference between these candidates shows that with Mccain, global warming will never be addressed as a serious problem that our generation needs to solve now and just continue as being more of the same.
But of course, it's going to take us with the little steps to change a percentage of what's happening to the earth. We need to step up and stop putting it off for another day, we can change our habits and we can change them now like: polluting, littering, not conserving energy, not driving hybrids, not recycling, and hundred of more steps we are not doing. But i also believe to truly stop global warming, we need the big dogs lol (government) to invest the money we don't have and to change policies and to get the ball rolling in January:)
