CarbonNation: Movie
Today
in class we watched a section of the movie CarbonNation. The movie hopes to
find solutions to the growing worldwide carbon footprint. The movie showed us a man who had a wind
powered farm and how he had been working on it since his family passed it down
to him. This hardworking man showed me the benefits of wind power and how it
can help a community and the environment. It talks more about climate change
and what people need to do to fix that.
The
main part in the film that I thought was the most interesting was the military
base in the desert and how it was hard to keep the tents cool without wasting
money and energy. The tents let out a lot of the cool air being distributed
inside, and this ultimately was a waste. Being in a desert, you kind of need
cool air to keep a comfortable environment along with your health and sanity. What
they decided to do was turn the tent basically into a cooler with a certain
spray which hardened the walls. This way, the walls of the tent wouldn’t move
and the cool air would stay inside and cooler longer. Through these little
changes, we can save a lot of energy and money next to helping the environment.
Climate change is a big deal, and if things aren’t done to help this problem,
the world can be in even more trouble.
