one day on earth

One day On Earth
The video is seriously amazing, because it shows
you many parts of the earth, in 6 minutes. And
it shows you how is earth in a resume.
I enjoy the video a lot, its simple, quick and seriously amazing.
The song and the pictures are what really get you interested. The
message of the video is to demonstrate how the eath is,
the good things about it, and the bad things that we have to deal with.
But mostly, the nice things on earth that make life beautiful. The video
its pointing out whats happening all around the earth, and its demonstratnig
the details of life which
make it perfect. Its similar to a wake up call, but more
like stop and look around whats going on, take a picture.

Measurement Chart


We were, working on measuring the amount of gas our car spends each year from going to our house, to the school. And its quite difficult to know because its not only the ride to school,but the way back.
The fuel that my car ,a GMC Yukon,spends at a year 460.84 Liters, which i find absolutely ridiculous amount of gasoline to be put in a car, to be burned so it contaminates the environment. I rememebr telling my mom about this yesterday, and disusing the issue of amount of money we spend of gasoline per year, and only on our way to school. I'd say,yea out car its transportation but what a great way to spend the money while contaminating the environment.
We did a measurement of our dream car also. I chose, a Jeep Liberty 4wd, which i realize that it spends 307.88 liters per year, believe me when i said, although i love this car, the fact that it contaminates that much just disappointing me. I'd rather have an hybrid car or something, its better to be comfortable, but while doing something good, meaning not contamination the environment.
