1. The main topic of our video is all the harm that comes from simple things like littering which it normalised because people do not know its consequences. We show how a small piece of trash has a huge impact on animals, humans, plants, and water as well. We chose this topic because waste is a serious issue at our school, with many students throwing trash outside in the grass or just in the street. Many of them do not know that protecting the environment is necessary in daily life.

2. I think the best thing we did was our story in general since it is creative and will keep the viewers entertained. We could have recorded some parts differently by choosing better times to film.

3. the most meaningful part about this PSA is targeting the young generation so that they can make our earth better and that is why we focused on relating the video to school

Basically, the major theme of our film was lead poisoning, and it was more of a pros and cons discussion. The explanation for why we chose to focus on the issue of lead poisoning was that I joined the group after the topic was chosen since I was a bit behind. Furthermore, I accomplished recording and being recorded on the subject of lead poisoning while portraying facts and statistics about the issue. Moreover, there were other things I might have done differently, such as being more productive within the group while the majority of the members were absent, as well as contributing to the editing process. Finally, the most rewarding aspect of crafting the PSA was being able to convey the facts and statistics that accompanied it while working together on the mini-project.

Aliou, Shimaar, Vincent, as well as myself have created a miniature public service anouncement for our project. We chose to cover the topic of lead poisoning in the inner city because we live in a large city that has a problem with lead paint being used in house that are unfit to live in. This is the most prevelant issue in the life of inner city kids right next to overheating of living spaces. Our video was created with short production time due to 2 people being sick with covid for a week and one member suffering an injury. We got to learn about this issue while recording it as another teacher gave us examples and facts about lead poisoning as well as the dangers of mercury. We hope you enjoy the video and stay safe. 😎💯🤝🏾🤞🏾❗️👁👁

Overall, making this PSA was a fun experience. Most PSAs I’ve watched were always boring as a kid and made me forget about the issue the next day. The funnier/ more creative ones have stuck with me to this day so I think that’s the best way to reach people. Oil spills seemed like an interesting topic just from pictures of the ocean on fire alone, so we figured that’d be one people would like. Overall I think the only thing we would do differently is add more info, but we did get an unexpected dose of information from Zoe, and that whole part wasn’t planned at all.

As I provided a summary that would understand our video has a relation to plastic pollution. This has gone over many cities and many states for the last time. It’s time for a change and it’s time to give back to our communities and to our planet. Some of the many things that I had thought that our group has done well, that could have come with a different outcome was the transition between two different sets of what plastic pollution is. What are the most meaningful Parts I had thought throughout, creating this TSA is the idea of the class coming together presenting different types of pollution, and trying to give their understanding as well as their point of view of it all. https://youtu.be/xbgEx5ZASY8

Our video consisted of the problems that the production of plastic creates. The only solution really is to stop the problem at the source and stop plastic production altogether which is a really hard thing to do. I chose this topic because we didn’t really discuss it in class and I liked being able to talk about it here. What went well was being able to find a lot of information on the topic. A lot of people talk about it. What could’ve been done differently was the way we edited the video. Perhaps he could’ve done it in a more professional kind of way. The most meaningful part of creating the PSA was getting to do it with the lovely Cyni.

A reason that I wanted to choose this topic is that I was interested in finding out just how much plastic pollution affects the earth. What our video was about was basically throughout the video we explained how plastic pollution affects the earth and we showed many examples. We showed how they affect sea life and sometimes kill them we showed how plastic is just used as litter and is all over the ground and how we use it every day.

Something that I would have done differently is that I would have added more about how plastic pollution affected sea life. I think that would have been better to add more.

The most meaningful part of this PSA project was finding this new information that I had never known, and it was interesting and devastating at the same time to find out.

In our PSA we talk about how much plastic is being used and how it affects our environment and Animals. we also address how recycling doesn’t really help with the issue as it usually ends up in landfills or in the oceans. we chose this topic because it was something new we didn’t learn about in class and because it was something that we see every day in our communities.

I think that we did a pretty good job on the video but something we could have done better would probably have to be on our script and planning what we wanted in the video. we didn’t really know what we wanted and just made up as we went.

I think the most meaningful part of creating the PSA is in my opinion realizing how much plastic we use and how bad it is for the environment but not really being able to do anything about it because getting rid of plastic entirely would take a lot of time and money. and recycling doesn’t always guarantee that it won’t end up in landfills.

Reflection: I find it crazy that people have to pay 200 dollars for water that looks like a cloud. Also that the Water department pretty much said that the water was contaminated with bacteria that will give you nausea and headaches yet you don’t have to clean it

Is the global water crisis an environmental justice issue? Why or why not?

Yes I do feel like the global water crisis is an environmental justice issue because you need water to live. You can go a couple days without food but you need water in order to survive. About 60 -75 % of water in the human body so water is one of the most important things to keep our bodies going. People not having clean stable water is super important to keep health up and also just stay clean and not get dehydrated. I think it’s very important and it’s an issue that needs to be resolved.
