One Day on Earth part two

Today in computer class, we saw two films about one day on earth. This film has many powerful images like the one with the guy jumping with only one leg in the Olympics for handicapped people. This image was very powerful that touched my heart very quickly. When I saw that, I started thinking that if he could do that< i can do it and other many things. That anything is impossible. Another image that was very powerful was the two army guys entering a house. I like that image a lot because it remind me in the video game Call of Duty. This film make me reflect in many things about my actitude with others and how I need to appreciate what I have.

One Day on Earth

The video that we saw in today's computer class was a video made of many little videos of maximum 10 sec each, or clips. I really like it because it showed many cool photos and clips about people laughing, suffering in war, praying, running and other many things. The message in this film is to show us that we aren't the only one in this world with problems, to show us that there are many other cultures, that everything happens to everybody and not only to us. This film make me think in many things relating to my problems that I have in school, with my friends and with my family and that it doesn't relates with the problems that the world has.

Liters and miles

During this past days we made a project using excel and we measure the distance and time we made from our house to school and how much money we spend per year. I had discovered many things about what I spend by going 5 times a week to school and other things. For example, I spend a lot of gasoline and I realize that it contaminates a lot of the environment. Imagine how much waste of gasoline us used everyday in the entire world. This contaminates a lot. I also realized that my parents worked a lot only to buy gasoline to do our daily activities. I really like doing this project because it helped me to think much about what i am doing everyday by using a lot of gasoline.

efficient cars

Mercury Marine Hybrid Per year:318.9
Toyota Camry Hybrid per year: 1.41

Measurement chart

We worked on measuring how much gas our car spends each year by going from our house to school and back. The gas that my Escalade 2009 spends each year is 962 liters. This is incredible of how much gasoline we as humans used in a year. Now I am considering how much contamination we put to our environment and that we are wasting a lot of oil, nonrenewable resource. My dream car spend less gas than my Escalade because is smaller. My dream car is a jeep wrangler 2011 and is spends 640.1 liters of gasoline per year. Compare with my Escalade 2009, my car spends 321.9 less per year.
