The movie "A Fierce Green Fire" dealt with the issues of our environment that we've struggled and fought for throughout our life. Such struggles as the battle over love canal. A polluted still water canal that endangered the residence near by and how they fought to be relocated and for the issue to be dealt with. Along with that there was the whale aspect, in which they endangered the spotted leopard seal from over hunting. All aspects no matter how big or small affect our world and its up to each and every individual to benefit our world for the better.
The amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly
constant over time, continually recycled through the atmosphere and back
into our cups, the population, however, has exploded. This means that every year
competition for a clean, abundant supply of water for drinking, cooking,
bathing, and sustaining life increases. Due to geography, climate, engineering, regulation, and competition for
resources, some regions seem relatively flush with freshwater, while
others face drought and debilitating pollution. In much of the
developing world, clean water is either hard to come by or a commodity
that requires laborious work or significant currency to obtain. Wherever they are, people need water to survive. The human
body 60 percent water and water is also essential for producing
food, clothing, and computers, moving our waste stream, and keeping us
and the environment healthy. So with out clean fresh water, there is no us.
