Start Recycling, Stop Littering

Stop littering, Start Recycling 

 

This tree looks awesome! It has no trash or litter hanging on it!
This tree looks awesome! It has no trash or litter hanging on it!

      Wow this tree is absolutely beautiful! The green leaves are all bright and showing!

      Trees with litter hanging all over them don’t look as beautiful right? 

      If you don’t want all of our trees to start looking like this, don’t litter. Instead of littering and causing damage to beautiful trees like this you can start recycling.  Recycling is a good option if you want to continue using plastic but help the environment. Although the best option would be to stop using plastic bags such as the grocery store plastic bags and use reusable bags that last you longer and are even better for the planet. 

      According to oceanconservancy.org the United States has a recycling rate of about 9% since 2012. Europe has 30% and China has 25%.  We are missing the point. The point is that we only have one home, no its not the house we live in. It is Earth. We are obviously not doing our part to better the planet, we are doing things to worsen it, such as littering and using plastic materials that harm it. To make up for this the least all of us can do is recycle as much as we can in every area we can. We should also be spreading the word and stating the facts about the impacts of not recycling. 

      One sad but indeed true fact is that about 100,000 marine creatures die from plastic a year, these are only the ones found, and about 1 million sea birds also sadly pass away from plastic. These facts are from oceancrusaders.org. This goes to show that not everyone is recycling, and many many people are still littering because they don’t realize the harm they cause.One example of this is ,our beloved sea turtles mistake the plastic bags for jellyfish, their main source of food, and accidentally consume it. As a result of this, well you can imagine what happens to them. 

      One person being lazy or perhaps deciding not to recycle can contribute to these animal’s deaths. It can also contribute to the world losing its beauty because of litter and trash in the sea and pretty much everywhere around us. 

       Believe me, an 11year old girl who has already started to recycle because she has realized that we have got it ALL wrong. Do your only home a favor and start recycling today, right now, at this instant, mother earth will thank you.

The World Below: Time-Lapse | Earth 2 from Bruce W. Berry Jr

The World Below: Time-Lapse | Earth 2 from Bruce W. Berry Jr on Vimeo.

I never thought that I’d be making another one of these, but with all of the new footage from the International Space Station (ISS) that has been made public, I decided to give it another go.

All of 4K video and Time-lapse sequences were taken by the astronauts onboard the ISS (NASA/ESA). All footage has been edited, color graded, denoised, deflickered, stabilized by myself. Some of the 4K video clips were shot at 24frames/sec reflecting the actual speed of the space station over the earth. Shots taken at wider angels were speed up a bit to match the flow of the video.

Some interesting facts about the ISS: The ISS maintains an orbit above the earth with an altitude of between 330 and 435 km (205 and 270 miles). The ISS completes 15.54 orbits per day around the earth and travels at a speed of 27,600 km/h; 17,100 mph).

The yellow line that you see over the earth is Airgolw/Nightglow. Airglow/Nightglow is a layer of nighttime light emissions caused by chemical reactions high in Earth’s atmosphere. A variety of reactions involving oxygen, sodium, ozone, and nitrogen result in the production of a very faint amount of light (Keck A and Miller S et al. 2013).

Hope you enjoy and thank you all again for watching!

Hidden miracles of the natural world | Louie Schwartzberg

By: TED

Published on Apr 9, 2014

We live in a world of unseeable beauty, so subtle and delicate that it is imperceptible to the human eye.

Jane (2017)

By: Abramorama Inc

Originally published on Sep 25, 2017

“One of the best documentaries of 2017. An astonishing accomplishment. Morgen is setting the bar for profile documentaries and changing the rules for his field.”

BRIAN TALLERICO, ROGEREBERT.COM

“Few films this year offer up such lush and formal components. Morgen has made a film of deep emotional beauty. Required viewing for anyone seeking a classic in the making.”

KATE ERBLAND, INDIEWIRE

“Transcends the boundaries of both nature films and biographies. Its epic elements of adventure, romance, and spiritual connection possess a sweep equal to any narrative film. A wondrous, moving, and truly stirring portrait that puts us right there with Goodall to share in her discoveries, propelled by the majestic sounds of Philip Glass. This is a truly stirring legacy portrait.”
