 The Refraction of An Inconvenient Truth

After watching this film, we think people are environmental killer. Because of time change, it brings development-making people live better and wealthy. People invent new technology to make their life more convenient. But they also make some crises in environment. There is much pollution in our life. People’s convenient life makes a lot of garbage. For example, the effluent from factories often contains chemicals which can lead to the pollution of water supplies. The high standard of living, which the people of many countries now enjoy, has resulted in huge increase in waste material. This could have a terrible effect on the ecology of the planet. We have to do urgent action to save our Earth from possible disaster. We have some methods to solve problems, such as doing recycle, driving hybrid automobiles, bringing you own chopsticks when you eat outside, and planting more trees etc. If we do these things well, we can reduce some pollution. Then our offspring can continue living on Earth.
