To what extent do you thin this was deserved?

Mr Al Gore deserved to win a noble price because of his concerned he has for the world. He was not only thinking about the present but also about the future. in the next 90yrs and above he will be gone but his son or grandchildren will still be alive and they will also be affected greatly by the global warming.

Having watching this film in class did you feel that your opinion (or perhaps) the opinion of others to issues of the climate change could be positively influenced?

I thought that my opinion and other that have watched the film was positively influenced, although i hard some others critics over the film. I think the film has educate us about what climate change is, the consequences that we will suffer because of climate change and what will happened to the earth in the next 90yrs and above. We take 30yrs back and see how the earth has been affected by climate change is so fast that we cannot believe it will happen so quickly. Watching the thick ice melting down so quickly it was a shocking thing to see. Could you imagine what is going to happen to some of the species (example like the polar bear) here on earth, we are going to loss them. Again thinking about hurricanes, floods, droughts and diseases that are cause by climate change, i become more worried about the future.



What did you think of the film? Was it effective?

I think the film is another way to educate or bring people to awareness of global warming. Although some people are having comments over the film but i think that the younger generations in the western world need to be more educated about global warming, because they are not taking it seriously about climate change. Al Gore did measured about the different part of the world that are affected by climate change, for example take places like Asia, hurricanes and floods are more common there. Also in the US and Europe countries, there are also heavy stormed and floods. In Africa, drought is affecting them greatly to the extend that they are losing there major rivers and also famine (losing animals, tree and plants), because the earth becomes dried.

I don't think it was that effective in the world, because i believed there should be so many ways to educate people about global warming. I known it was effective in western world particularly in the US because they have also suffered from hurricane Katrina. Take, for example the third world countries (like Africa and Asia) and also especially to the younger ones around the world, think of way to supports and encourage them to improve on things that will sustain them and the entire world. Encourage people in Africa and Asia to plant trees and reward them for every tree they planted, they will receive a sum for it. Because this people suffer a lot and there is no way they can get help from.

learning for sustainable environment

Sustainability is about taking what we need to live now, without jeopardising the potential for people in the future to meet their needs.

What actions could you (in theory) undertake that would improve the sustainability of your lifestyle? What might be preventing you from doing these?

Actions that would improve the sustainability of my lifestyle are the way I do my shopping.
As a mother of two toddlers it is import when shopping to buy product that can easily be recycle. For examples buying products like whole life milk, plastic bottle oil, cereals, can drinks and plastic bottle juice. After using the milk container I always washes them before putting it away in the recycle bins. I tied old newspapers and cereals empty boxes nicely. Because I wanted to improve on be friendly to the environment, I don’t want to put people life at risk. The reason why I will make sure that all my recycle and my house waste will be put away nice and tide so that my rubbish bags will not be tore easily by animals before been decomposed.

Reason that will prevent me from recycle properly is how I do my recycle. To put glass bottles, plastic bottles and empty drinks cans in the same recycle bin is due to the reason that there are no place in my area where I can do proper recycle, so that the reason why I have to put them in the same recycle containers or pink recycle plastic bags.
