Today we continue watching the movie Planet in Peril:
Amazon Rain Forest:
- People have killed people just to be able to continue illegal logging in the Amazon
- They now use the Lady Killed: Sister Dorathy as a symbol, and have set aside thirty thousand acres to protected in her name
- People who live in the area near the Amazon work hard to protect their forest, and are scared about what's happening to it.
- They own areas of the Forest given to them by the Government, and people have been illegal logging on their land, they rely on the land for food, water, and shelter.
- The Amazon holds twenty percent of the worlds water, and supplies seventy percent of our chemicals for medicanes.
- About five hundred square miles of the Amazon are lost every year
United States of America:
- Kids living within a two mile area of a ship channel (factory that puts tons of chemical into the air) have a greater chance of comming down with Luchemia
- In many other countries, the poor living neer pollution and in bad enviorments are more likely to come down with diseases and sickness
- There is no law that requires companies to limit the amount of hazards they put out into the air
Once the movie ended, we talked about it a little bit, then went over the European Map again, the test is on Monday and Tusday! We will go over what our project wich will be over Africa.
