"A Fierce Green Fire" summary
This film was about the history of how the environmental movement started. It showed protests and speeches and many other things that people did to get the attention of the public and hopefully get more of them to join in the movement. The film went through the different stories of different people that were trying to save the planet in different ways. For example: the Sierra Club supported the environment and tried to save the Grand Canyon and other rivers from being dammed. " A Fierce Green Fire" was basically about how the environmental movement began.
Environmental Movement: Solar Power
2013 was a great year for the solar power movement. They gained much momentum and many more followers since 2012. The whole idea of using solar power is to lessen the use of normal electricity and lower the costs of normal electricity. By the end of 2013, 100% of new generated power was not related to coal, oil, or nuclear power. All they are trying to do is gain popularity and expand their movement. On the website, they even have ways to save power without using solar power, since they know that not everyone can afford to install all new technology. Different companies are coming up with new and better ideas for solar energy. for example: "New Energy Technologies Inc." came up with an idea to make windows that collect solar power from the sunlight shining through them. Their main idea s to install these windows in skyscrapers or very tall buildings to collect the most power they can. I think that the solar power movement is a great idea because the amount of energy that people use is crazy, and they know that people wont give that up. So, they invented a way to still us all the power that we want, but make it earth-friendly.
