One Day on Earth

I liked the video very much. I love that kind of media where you get to see everything. You get to see what goes on, on other people’s minds. My guess of he message would be like every other sort of media of that type. Save and help the world. Or maybe how much the world has changed from what it used to be. Even the music gives it that little touch of humanity and change. There are some very strong images on the trailers. Clips about fires, poverty, and births. Those sorts of things are what really reach out to people. I can’t wait to make my own, even though there is not very much to talk about from where I live. It is very entertaining to see those very creative and personal videos. They are definitely something that expresses the emotions of people.

The whole fire and poverty scenes were very powerful. It is something that makes you think that you are not alone in this world. There are other things, and bigger problems. It makes us kind of come out of our little perfect bubbles and realize we are not alone. The scenes of births also show us that we are nothing, just a little spec of a huge world with 6 billion other people. So what will we choose to do with our lives? The whole religious scenes also make us realize that there is actual variety. Kids from all over the world happy no matter what their situation is. That is what I call interesting.

Car Fuel Saving

Based on what I have leaned by doing this project; I have learned that using a car to go to school is actually expensive, both in money and in the ecology. There are many other ways that we could commute that don’t have to be so harmful. Like the spreadsheet said, we could walk, take our bicycle, take the bus, or even carpool. Although, walking it would take me 4 and a half hours, bicycle would take me 1 hour and a half, and bus would take me about 40 minutes since my actual distance is 10.31 km. All of these other options help us in economical ways. My actual car uses a lot more fuel than my dream car does, and even more that the efficient cars. My car costs me:

$6,214.15 per year.

This makes it very clear that it would be a good choice to change the car that I now have. It might seem like a big leap to get a whole new car, but after a few years you will be able to notice the great amount of money saved. Help the environment help you.

Liters each Year

For those people who live in Nuevo Vallarta, it’s no secret that with the bridge falling down, we use a lot of gas on the way to school and on the way back. On average with my mom’s Toyota Highlander we use 690.4607 Liters per year. This is a lot of Liters for only going to school and back. My dream car however, only uses 598.9079 Liters per year. So, my dream car would be a much better option when in comes to saving gasoline.
