The Age Of Stupid
I really liked the movie because they are explaining why is the world been changing.Like for example,Global Warming is affecting to the Glaciers because they are melting down and for the people is sad because they are seeing how the world is changing.They were also talking about how Oil is the main problem of why the world is changing.Some of these people don't know about these things,but the groceries that we buy are from oil because the food needs to be transported because that's what trucks need,they need oil to run.Nigeria which is in Africa that country is very poor because of the oil that is killing off the fish and instead of having a lot of fish,they have little because they are already polluted.A company named Shell,wanted to make a company there,but people from there,they didn't want them to put one.The military came and started shooting people and some of these people hided on the forest which they didn't even eat a whole week.When they were thirsty they would drink of water that had been dirty,and some of these women that had hidden were pregnant and because they had been drinking that dirty water their children died.I think that oil is the main cause for having too much disasters around the world especially for the species that live on the water.Some people don't even know about why these disasters happen.The people of Nigeria want to have the kind of life that America has because they want things that we want like bedrooms for example.There was also a Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans,so it destroyed many of the things they had.Some people were talking about having wind farms,but people did not agree with the idea.Some people protested because it blocked their view,but that doesn't make any sense.Other people in other places protest too because they wanted to double the tunnel,but other people disagreed and they got onto the street and didn't want any transportation like trucks,but that wasn't enough.Still people disagree in many things.I really liked this video it tells so much how is the world changing even more.

Hi my name is Ana, and my topic that I chose was Pollution because there are a lot of places were they are polluted.I also chose this topic was because I think that Pollution is the worst thing that could ever happen in the Earth.Here are some of the stuff that I researched.
- Some of the links that I found for the Wiki Pages that will help me with my research are:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution#Forms_of_pollution
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution
- I chose these 2 because they both have to do with Pollution,but they also tell you about it.
- For the other websites I chose:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution#Environment
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution#Greenhouse_gases_and_global_warming
- I chosed them because there you can find any things especially for pollution and that is information that helped me with choosing my topic.
- For the News Sources I chose:
- http://ireport.cnn.com/search/ireports?q=pollution
- .http://www.sciencedaily.com/search/?keyword=pollution
- I chose these 2 because they tell you about the information that you are looking for and because they are really informative especially The Science Daily News because it has to do with the things that we have learned about the topics.

Coral Reef Adventure
The movie about the Coral Reefs was basically about the Coral Reefs why are they endangered,what are they,and what is causing it to be in danger.Coral Reefs are made from tiny organisms,which they are found in the South Pacific.Even though they look like just plain coral reefs that don't do anything,they are also beneficial or help us with things.They are beneficial because they restore health,provide fish,they have chemical compounds which they are produced for the chronic pain,people rely on food,they give medical cures,and they protect the land from the violent seas.Coral Reefs are endangered and the reasons why they are endangered is because of Ocean Warming and for cutting down forests,but the main cause is for Ocean Warming.The reason why coral reefs are affected because cutting down forests is because,the dirt or the silk from the trees fall off when a forest is cut.There are these kind of trees that prevent from the silk to not move,and these are called mangoes.The Coral Reefs have lived over 60,000,000 years of existence.Coral Reefs are pretty because they sway like flowers,all corals are animals.One of the interesting fact that I think was interesting was that the Great Barrier Reef is one of the largest of them all.The fish also protect the corals from the seaweeds.Corals basically eat algae and it's one of the most important things to the coral.People that go diving underwater also get affected by the bends because when they go deeper in the ocean,there's a short amount of oxygen if you go deeper and darker into it.Corals are also beneficial to animals like for example,the octopus.Since crabs most of the time live on corals,the octopus main source of food is the crab.Without the crab,the octopus will starve to death and have a short amount of energy.Corals are white when they starve for not eating algae for a long period of time.For this not to happen we can also help prevent Coral Reefs from being destroyed by not cutting a great amount of trees because the dirt will fall and then go into the water.Coral Reefs are beneficial to any kind of living thing in the world.

Saving Species Of Planet Earth
Some people are getting the adaptation to not care of what what happens to the wildlife in many places.Some animals are endangered already.The majority of them are the leopards,since there are only 30 species left around the world.Some of the reasons they are being endangered is because poachers are poaching other animals,and because of the loss of their habitat.Polar Bears are very rare because they are chasing after the walruses and because they are very endangered because ice caps are being melted,so now Polar Bears are in danger because if that keeps on happening,then they will probably die because of too much water.There is maybe scarce of animals because they said in the video that the Golden Frog is now extinct and they had also said that the Forests Elephants are smaller in population than the Savannah Elephants too.Well the animals that are endangered now maybe they are aprehended because too many of their species are now disappearing.Many people use conservation to help many of the species in the rainforest because it's not like we need the elephant most,but we need all of them species because every single of them have an important thing in themselves.The animals need sustainable living because if they don't have it they will die from not eating anything that they are used to eating.There are many things that are natural resources and we want to use them properly because in now days this world is changing,so quick that people don't know what's happening to it.The human population has been changed too because not many people care about something that it's really important and that we have to do something about because animals don't get count off,they also help us,so it's not really fair that animals do something for us,and we don't do something for them. It's time for us to make a difference in some places,and because it's our Earth,and the only one that we are ever going to have,we need to take care of it.Lets make a difference around the world!

Well,since I have my 8 game ideas,I am also interested in putting some additional resources in the game,so I think that I am most interested in Pollution and Natural Disasters.I'm really interested in them because those 2 topics are very common all over the world,so I thought if we make the game about those 2 topics,it will be an educational game because you can't just pick your game about Global Warming,you have to know about it and you have to like create it,so others can play it,so it' not just playing the game,it's about thinking about it make it more realistic,and I think that way they will notice what is happening to our world.I think that I am going to do Water Pollution because in all over the news there has been many problems in the wate6r and even animals spred all over the news,they have been contamintaed by other fish that they were already contaminated.Natural Disasters happen in many other places too that's why I picked it too!
