The movie “Crude Impact” is a documentary film written and directed by James Jandak Wood in 2006. In the movie, we get to learn and know more about why using fossil fuels and oil changes our environment and climate and the ways we can help out.

  The film lets us know how fossil fuels and natural oil have made an impact on the environment. In the beginning, the movie shows us the history of oil and fossil fuels, how and when it was discovered, and how it was used in the industry. However, the impact of all the fossil fuels and oil on our environment has become serious. The burning and usage of the fuels and oil have released all the greenhouse gases, which contributed to Global Warming. All these are what we will get to know in this film. Also, other than the topic of fossil fuels and oil, the film also explores the topic of climate change, solutions to all these problems and the economic problems about the fuels and oil.

  That’s not all. It also includes interviews and many different views from experts on this topic. If you want to get to know more about crude oil and its impact on the economics and environment, you must not miss this film!

  In this movie, together with views and ideas from many other, Leonardo discusses what humans have done that damaged our Earth. Evidences of global warming, extinction of species and pollution are shown. We must do something to lessen the damages caused during the last decades, or else not only will our environment, but we too, will be in danger. The film gives us solutions to all these problems. Although the damages have already been done, we can still do something to reduce it. Experts have suggested that instead of controlling and destroying Earth and its environment, we should be able to accept and protect the Earth and environment.

“We all have to do our part to raise awareness about global warming and the problems we as a people face in promoting a sustainable environmental future for our planet.”

The 2006 film, “An Inconvenient Truth”, is narrated by Al Gore, the Ex-USA Vice President, and directed by Davis Guggenheim. It tells us about the “truth”- Earth is in danger. We have to do something to help earth recover from all these damages that we have caused.

  In the movie, Al Gore lets us know about some of the disasters that had happened recently all around the world. He explained that most of these disasters (e.g. flooding, heat waves, abnormal climate) are actually caused by global warming, and significant climate changes that are happening all around the world. He has also discussed ways of preventing global warming and how helpful they are in helping the situation. Economical changes due to Global Warming are also discussed.

  If you wanted to understand how global warming affects our life, and some amazing facts about global warming, be sure to watch this film!!

“My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis, it's not a political issue, it's a moral issue.”

  On 7th July 2007, a 24-hour non-stop concert was held worldwide in many countries (7 different locations across the world) such as London, New York, Shanghai. This event was called “Live earth”. Its purpose is to fight, prevent climate changes, and spread the message that we should protect our own environment. All money collected from the concert will be donated to help battle global warming. During the concert, there were more than 100 bands and singers performing.

  Al Gore was the one who thought of the idea for Live Earth, as there were also concerts in the past that were held to promote the idea that we must prevent global warming and others. During the concert, people were asked to take a pledge saying that they will promise to help save our Earth whenever they can. This also reminds us that we should find a solution, or else Earth will be in danger. The Live Earth concert is certainly different from other concerts, as renewable energy had been used to power the whole event.

  Although the event/concert is already over, you can still get the DVD. If you enjoy listening to music, get the DVD! I am sure you will enjoy it!!
