Saving Species of Planet Earth

In globaloria we were watching a video called Saving Species of Planet Earth. It was talking about how animals are endangered and about to be extinct. There are a lot of animals that are endangered, amphibians, polar bears, and lepards. Frogs are mostly dying because of a dealy fungus spreding through the trees in the forest. Polar bears started to act wierd because there is not a lot of fish left in the sea, so they started to attack walruses and eat baby seals that are in the ice. Another animal that is becoming a very rare animal is the Amore Lepard. There are only 37 lepards left in the world. Some people are trying to get the Amore Lepards DNA so they can keep the number of lepards in the wild up.

Possible Game Topics

The two topics that I might do are environment and teenage pregnancy. I might do these topics because they are some really big problems happening in East Austin and all over the world. Teenage pregnancy is real big, there are alot of people doing this and don't know what they are getting them self into. We need to tell them and other people before they make this mistake or make this mistake again.
I would also like to make my game topic environment because that is another big problem in East Austin and all over the world. The environment is getting destroyed by people, buildings, cars, trash, and machines. Trees are getting cut down and get turned into paper then get thrown away. If we contiune doing this there will be no more trees and plants, that means no more oxygen and no life.

Possible Game Topics
These are some game topics that I found on
www.Kids.yahoo.com/directory/Around-the-World/Social-and-Political-Issues

Web Sites

http://www.care.org/ - on poverty and starvation and on how they can stop it. http://www.worldwildlife.org/ - on trying to save the plants and trees and future nature http://www.thegatehouse.org/ -on trying to end child abuse www.nick.com/thebighelp/ - tries to show kids that they need to get outside and play instead of watching T.V all day

I picked these websites because they are all really big issues that are growing really fast. If we don't do anything to fix these things the human population will slowly go down. These websites are the things that are helping us realize that it is happening and they are helping us start changing it, we have to join them to stop it. That is the reason why I choose these websites.

Game Topics from Wiki

Some other things that I would consider on making my game topic is Recycling, Pollution, The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and Teenage Pregnancy. I would choose these things to be my game topic because they are some major problems too. They are things that need to be fixed and we need to put the word out because it can destroy the earth and the human race.

An Inconveniant Truth

In Globaloria we have been watching a documentary called An Inconveniant Truth. It is about global warming and how it is effecting us on earth, for humans, animals, and plants too. Global warming is working fast, the video was talking about how the 10 hottest years has been in the late 1990's and early 2000's. The documentary is getting a little scary because all of this is happening really fast. Things are getting destroyed and melted down. All the ice on mountains is melted down. And they said soon all of the water, food, plants, and trees will be all gone if we keep living like this. They also said if the population goes up too there is a more likely chance this can happen quicker. To stop this we can use plastic, paper, gases, oils, and machines with lots of smoke coming out a lot less.

I chose the picture on the right because it has the color purple in it, which is my favorite color . It also has a pretty big yet small twinkling star on the bottom left corner of picture. I chose the picture on the left because it is very pretty. I think it is pretty because it has this big circle surrounded by a thousand little stars.
