The contents of the video include the causes of water pollution and some added statistics to back up our claim. I feel this is an important topic to touch on because we use water for everything in our lives. It is extremely vital to our existence and way of living. I feel like we did our script very well and included good facts throughout the PSA. What we could’ve done differently was the approach. I feel it could have been recorded differently. All in all it was meaning full because we all learned something new

When I think of water pollution I think of plastic in the oceans, trash, and all of the waste that has been blown out into the water caused mostly by humans. Water pollution is the release of substances into bodies of water that makes water unsafe for human use and aquatic ecosystems. This could be caused by runoff, animal medicines, slurry, sewage sludge, and manure, Water pollution is a huge problem that affects not only animals but humans as well. The video that we’ve created allows us to identify what water pollution is, who is affected by it, and other information that was needed. I feel that overall my group did a good job with creating the information but we could have worked on time management a little bit better. The only thing I would have done differently was to think out the video more thoroughly even though it’s good there is always room for improvements. Looking back at our video there wasn’t a most meaningful part. I feel that everything we said was meaningful because water pollution gets talked about but not as much as it should. Just learning about new ways water pollution can affect many different factors was the most meaningful part.

We feel lie water pollution needs more attention and is a serious topic. This is a widespread problem and is jeopardizing our health. Having unsafe water is killing more and more people each year than other forms of violence combined. Poor water quality has a direct impact on aquatic wildlife, plants, and other mammals. Water is essential to life and is a serious ecological threat we face every single day. Water is life and we need to protect our water quality for the health of our environment and our own quality of life. I feel like the video me and my group created was an understanding of why water pollution is very dangerous. I believe even though we didn’t have a lot of time my group did a great job. I believe the most meaningful part of creating this PSA was learning more about water pollution. I didn’t realize the effect and the dangers of water pollution and how many lives this pollution is affecting till this day in other countries.

In the video that we made about Oil spills and Pipelines, we explained the oil industry’s impact on the world and its economy. After that, we went into how it negatively impacts the oil industry has on not just the world, but on the wildlife. In the video, we also mention one of the biggest negative events about Oil in history. I chose this topic because this is a topic that has been recently re-brought up in the news and that still today the world is reacting negatively to the impacts that the oil industry has on it.

If I could say what we did better was to make the video altogether, not in different places, and we could’ve been better at uploading the checkpoints.

I find that the most meaningful thing about creating this PSA is hoping people listen to why what we are talking about is important and have them feel inspired and want to solve the problem.

My group and I created a PSA about lead poisoning and how it impacts people, especially children in Philadelphia. As I have learned about the harmful impact of lead poisoning in class, this made me choose this topic. I liked the whole process of making a PSA about issues that people are facing in our community. A good thing was that we communicated well as a group to finish this video on time. If I were to do this PSA again, I would’ve like for us to be in the video for at least part of the video. I think the meaningful part of this experience is that I was able to be a part of spreading awareness that might possibly help someone.

This video is essentially a news broadcast that covers air pollution as a whole. The video features information about what air pollution is, the dangers, how to prevent it, as well as supplemental aspects. Each person introduces a topic within the realm of air pollution while another person expands upon it. I chose this topic because I had a sufficient amount of information regarding air pollution prior to this project, so I thought it would be efficient for us to make great use of it. My group did a great job of saying each of our lines and providing information. However, one thing we could have done differently was a record at a table to make it seem like a news broadcasting desk. The most meaningful part of creating this PSA was gathering the information and seeing how air pollution affects us as a whole.

Our video includes the effects of lead poisoning, who it affects the most, and what causes lead poisoning along with solutions. We chose this topic because of how prominent lead poisoning is in Philadelphia. Lead can be found in paint, pipes, and more all-around Philadelphia. Lead poisoning is a crisis happening in our city today. Spreading awareness about this topic is detrimental to warning our community of the dangers of lead. I wish we had more time to edit to make our video more stylized. The most meaningful part was seeing people’s stories and experiences with lead across Philadelphia and how prevalent the problem was.

First, we wanted to introduce the PSA with an interesting fact that would grab our audience’s attention. Then we described what lead poisoning is, common sources where people can obtain lead poisoning, and some of the long-lasting effects that can be correlated with obtaining lead poisoning. We also described people who are affected the most by lead poisoning, why lead poisoning is an environmental justice issue, and potential solutions to the lead poisoning issue. I think our group communicated well and our PSA turned out as planned. I think something we could have done differently was how different cities were facing lead poisoning issues but in different ways than Philadelphia. I think the most meaningful part of creating the PSA is creating a professional final product that could be used to influence positions to take a bigger stance on the lead issue we are facing in Philadelphia and all over the United States.

The topic is important because lead poisoning is a very serious problem, especially in Philadelphia. Many people have to deal with it and there’s not an easy fix, so bringing attention to it is very important. I definitely could’ve done more to help with the project, even if I wasn’t in I should’ve done something. I think the most meaningful part of helping with this to me is just being able to do my best to help, even if it’s not much.

I think this topic is very important because the problem isn´t just ignorance, it´s more about complacency with lead poisoning. Lead poisoning is a huge problem that affects a lot of people, mainly children. Our video is a message to politicians, the people in power who can enact laws to protect us. I think the video is well done, if not just a bit short, but so are most commercials. Politicians have a short attention span. The most meaningful part of this project to me is that it´s the last project I get to do in Environmental Science with my friends.
