The Film "A Fierce Green Fire" is about the beginning of the environmental change and how it has to do with life today. It showed the start of Green Peace which people thought a small group of individuals could make a huge impact on us. It demonstrated the original individuals that tried to stop Japanese whalers. Moreover The Love Canal incident was also seen, how it effected the town because of how toxic it was and how it was ruining the community. We need to start taking care more of our planet because it's where we live. Reuse, Reduce, Recycle are three words that are helpful in the process of making our planet better.
