A Fierce Green Fire

      The film A Fierce Green Fire by PBS focused almost entirely on current around the world pollution and environmental hazards like whaling in the oceans, the cutting down of the world's rain forests and chemical pollution of the ground and its water. The film includes several different sections all following different people trying to drive a point across their governments and try to enforce change. The film really focused on the different groups and organizations that sprung up in times of environmental disaster all around the world. The film was very well done and extremely inspiring.

Trying to Move Towards Solar Energy: Today less than one tenth of the energy produced worldwide comes from solar panels. Solar panels are used to capture the sun's energy that it gives off and turns it into electricity. This way of capturing energy is extremely clean and if used properly could power entire towns and maybe cities, it also makes virtually no sound when in use. Today the US, Germany, and Japan are the leaders in the production and use of solar energy. The solar panel companies like SEIA are working on ways to improve solar energy and bring it to the majority of people in the US. Solar energy would be great replacement form coal energy when it creates no pollution wile coal burning emits harmful substances into the air and water. Hopefully one day the leading form of energy on the planet will be from solar panels.
     
One way to help would be to donate to the various solar companies and/or buy and install solar panels for your home or business.
