Day 3

This morning we watched the movie ‘’An inconvenient truth’’.
This is a controversial movie worldwide, there is a lot of scepsis about this movie and some errors concerning environments changes.
Ofcourse it is a fact that temperature on planet Earth is rising but scientists are still debating on the causes of this. That is why we still have our doubts about Al Gore’s presentation.
One thing we concord is that the Greenhouse effect is a natural cause. Humans have influence in this effect but not as much as Al Gore suggests.
The global problems caused by the Greenhouse effect were well known by the participants. After the movie we discussed causes, effects, poluters and sulotions. Intensive discussion did’nt occur since everyone agreed  about the poluters and solutions. This was more or less a repeat of what we have have learned in school and experience in practice.
When we talk about solutions we can offer to reduce the Greenhouse effect we Dutch are more concerned of prevailing the sea level to rise, most part of The Netherlands will disappear under water if the dikes, dunes and dams break. We start with ourselves to safe the evironment, simple things we can do in our own surrounding, such as :
Conscious use of energy, such as don’t leave the TV on standby and turn off the lights when you don’t need it
Use of the bicycle when going for short distances
Instead of turning the central heating in the house, stop whining and put on an extra sweater!
Recycle garbage at home, instead of throwing on to the street!
We can protect the environment, the first start is always with yourselve. In order to protect the environment and mother Earth, the entire humanity has to work together to safe her. More use of natural resources, such as windmills and water dams, and better treatment of garbage.
If we don’t act now, soon we will poluter our beautiful planet.
