Earth Day
The Film "A Fierce Green Fire" is based on and tells the story of the environmental movement in America and how it spread all over the world.It largely started in America when earth day was established in the 70's. A large part of what Earth Day advocated for was pollution and Love Canal had a very large pollution problem. A business had been dumping their waste in a canal near their town and the amount of chemicals had gotten so bad that they were seeping into the towns soil and all of the basements. It caused many children to get sick much easier and 18 out of 22 newborn children were born with birth defects. The fight to get permanently relocated took time but eventually it happened. This idea of make our earth a better place spread to the Amazon where deforestation was a large problem. After a very long fight the locals were able to establish seringueros reserves where they could live and the land was protected. All of the pollution and environmental awareness around the world sprung up from Americans standing up for the land they were living on.

Solar Power is the conversion of sunlight into energy. It can be direct or indirect. One way is Concentrated Solar Power systems. These types of systems collect sun from a large area and focus it into a small beam that is then transmitted into energy. the other type is called Photovalics. This is most commonly found as what powers our calculators and homes.
Due to the fact that we have found ways to power our homes and all electronics in our homes off of energy from the sun is pretty astounding. It is a new way of not only limiting our electronic uses but also taking the chemicals that add to the greenhouse gases in the environment out of the air. Solar power panels are what are most commonly used. They allow for a decrease in need for burning fossil fuels and thus allowing a decrease in greenhouse gas buildup. Some places where you can but solar panels and then have them installed are sometimes general stores like Target and Westsidewholesale.com.
