 In the show ~A Fierce Green Fire it shows some of the largest movement in history. The 1920's and the 21 century. .Connecting all the major parts of environmentalism was a huge part of american history, the more people knew about it the more improvement was done.  Conservation of our planet also made it into peoples mind. This movie shows that many eyes were caught of peoples eyes. The more people know about this the more people will understand the problems that can become of the world.  People wanted a change and it was happening, saving their homes from fires, protecting everything around them as well. We still do this, which shows the events in the past carried on.  An exploration of the environmental movement and global activism showing fifty years of climate change. From people doing this it helped us out to where we are now, i feel as if this show showed me how serious people took global changes more serious than others. Nowadays more people actually celebrate , parading around the streets having a good time. There are now more people that are super involved in the global enviorment. There are many jobs that became of this as well. Public works has people who check your houses for to much gas being released, there are also many people that go around to the streets and just pick up trash as well. Environmental realizations are very important in the world in general.

Every day especially in other countries, people are killing whales. The whales them self don't have much human accessible meat to eat but the fact in general their are more killings than safe. If we don't want our whales to be extinct than we need to stop. Hunting them has became a serious problem and it kills me on the inside knowing they are dying left and right for now real reason. 

Seabiscuit : An all american legend

Everyone has a soft spot for an object. Charles Howard has one for a race horse called sea biscuit. The horse had some problems with his legs that weren't major but you wouldn't expect him to be racing. Charles does whatever it takes to support sea biscuit , by running a shop to trying to figure out his next move was always on charles mind. In 1906 there was an earthquake most wont forgeet. In san fransico the 7.8 earth quake kills hundreds, injuries thousands of civilians , destroys towns and cause major fires that couldn't be contained.Could you imagine what would be going through your head of the time of this catastrophe? When tom smith comes into the picture,the lives of an average man and horse change. Mr. Irwan notices the man who goes from job to job and he resizes the potentially this man as a whole. He soon makes himthe trainer. Irwin's a very wealthily man who  happens to own a racing station. When Irwan died , mr. Smith is in a cruddy situation. He has lost a job and must go look for work. There were many horses along the way to sea biscuits success.The more work and time that they put into sea biscuit was worth a life time.
The guys decided to unleash the beast and show their secret to everyone. The people of world knew about seabuscit. He became quiet  a celebrity if youaskme. The more people heard about him the more the publicity came.The men soon were overwhelmed with the attention of the horse and in my opinion so was sea b . Items in honor of the horse were soon be ing produced all in sea biscuits name. The love for the horse kept growing and growing. The american dream relates to this because se biscuit came fromnothing. He rose to the top and caused his owner riches that im sure he could never have had imagined a few months ago. All in all the legend of sea biscuit reallwas a true store. The 1900's needed some action and sea biscuit brought it to them .
