computer graveyard in Ghana : An example of a very specific environmental concern. What do we do with our old computers? (
watch the slide show), and then...
Post a Comment: find out how many tons of computers we dispose of each year in the US, and what happens to it; does it present an environmental or ethical concern; what ought we to do? (Answer one of these questions, or your own, on the topic.)
So poke around to
find a topic for your media essay on one small aspect of environmental concern.
One thoughtless action x multiplied by many
causes catastrophe
for some.
(a small poem by me)
Perhaps also you could be on the lookout (give an ear?) to a piece of music that would be good background.
Start collecting quotes, facts, and images as you research your topic.
Give thought to what computer resources you have available or feel comfortable working with. You may get as much help as you can finagle from your moms/dads/older siblings/friends.
Read: Comic Book Guide to the Environment, chapters 3-5 and please take notes of vocabulary terms.
btw, I think it is very appropriate to care passionately about the environment, and I do allow myself to feel strongly about many of these issues, even as I try to be objective and check facts. "The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof" and we are the stewards of His creation.
