Home Project Movie
Trailer
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Pollutions
Labels: PollutionsSummary/title:-
Some basic Pollution we are causing every days that are boosting Global warming are: Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Soil Pollution, Light Pollution and more...
These basic environmental pollution always has negative effects on nature (humans, wildlife, earth, Basically Everything....) ...........................
Here Are Some Information On Some Of Them And Some Tips tips to decrease these pollution.....Air PollutionAir Pollution is the human introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damage the environment. Air pollution comes from a wide variety of sources. Some of the most Common sources (Anthropogenic) include : Use of Fossil Fuel, Motor Vehicles, Fumes from paint, Varnish , Aerosol spray E.T.C., Landfill, Food Processing, Power Plants, Oil Refinery, Industries, Aircraft, Prescribed Burning, Nuclear weapon, Chemical warfare and more...
Now I suppose you want to reduce Air Pollution so here are few things you can do!
Drive Less - Carpool,Walk or ride a bike, Ride public transit. also Modify Your Transportation. (Choose Air-Friendly Products) when you buy some thing read the descriptions, many products are nature friendly, only buy nature friendly products. For Example buy recycled products/products with recyclable packaging,Reuse plastic/paper bags, Use water-based paints, Look for paints labeled zero-VOC, Paint with a brush, Use a push or electric lawn mower, if possible use lawn mower less than usual, Don't smoke, Have your gas appliances and heater regularly inspected and maintained, Reduce Waste -Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Donot use Toxic Chemical,Plant leafy trees and shrubs e.t.c....Light PollutionLight Pollution is excess or obtrusive light created by humans. It is caused by unnecessary use of artificial light. Light pollution causes damage to the environment. Makes it impossible for city dweller to see the night sky or the stars. There are many types of light pollutions, some of them are light trespass, over-illumination, glare, clutter, and sky glow.
Sources of Most Common Light Pollutions are Lighting (Not lightning) Street light, Large cities, Billboards and advertising , Nighttime sporting events and other nighttime entertainment e.t.c.
To Reduce Light Pollutions: Talk To Your City Mayor or your community to have all the streetlight faced down, Turn of the unnecessary lights, use Fluorescent Light Bulbs, Install lights only where necessary, and use motion-detection fixtures if possible .......Water PollutionWater pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater caused by human activities, which can be harmful to organisms and plants that live in these water bodies. Some Water Pollution categories based on their origins are are Point source pollution, Non-point source pollution and Groundwater pollution.Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants, factories and ships. Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff, mining activities and paved roads. A Groundwater Pollution is when a Substance reaches an aquifer, makes the water unclean or otherwise unsuitable for a particular purpose. Some Example of Groundwater Pollution are: Improper disposal of chemicals, oil, pesticides, other wastes, used containers, household chemicals, such as paint thinners Lack of disposal facilities for small amounts of hazardous wastes e.t.c..
To Avoid Water Pollutions -
Correctly dispose of harmful / hazardous household products,Use nontoxic household products whenever possible, Recycle and dispose of all trash properly, Conserve water - turning off the tap when running water is not necessary, Don't throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans, Help Clean your neighborhood water sources, Avoid over-watering lawns and gardens, Be Nature Friendly when washing your car.Soil PollutionSoil Pollution is caused by the presence of man-made chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. This type of contamination typically arises from the rupture of underground storage tanks, application of pesticides, percolation of contaminated surface water to subsurface strata, oil and fuel dumping, leaching of wastes from landfills or direct discharge of industrial wastes to the soil. Soil Pollution has a lot of effect on Ecosystem etc.... Soil Pollution can lead to poor growth and reduced crop yields, loss of wildlife habitat, water and visual pollution, soil erosion, and desertification.
Prevent Soil Pollution by doing the following -
Apply lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to directions, Dispose of used oil, antifreeze, paints, and other household chemicals properly, Clean up spilled brake fluid, oil, grease, and antifreeze, Take unwanted household chemicals to hazardous waste collection centers; do not pour them down the drain, Plant the plants that have low requirements for water, Leave lawn clippings on your lawn so that nutrients in the clippings are recycled and less yard waste goes to landfills.
Don't forget to get involved

This Was Written By My Friend Courtney.
Save The Earth
Did you know
On average, a person in the United States uses energy 2x's more than a person in Japan or west Germany does, and 50x's more than a person in India. Cars and Pick-up trucks are responsible for about 20 % of the CO2 release into the air. The average American makes about 3.5 pounds of trash a day.What you can do to help the environment.
You can start by turning off lights you are not using, use less hot water, buy recycled products. plant trees, especially if you have cut one down. Instead if air conditioning use fans. If you are going to work or to school whenever possible, use a public bus, subway,carpool, ride your bike or walk.Things not to do for the environment
Don't waist products made from natural materials(trees etc..) don't buy products that may have been made at expense of rain forest. don't buy products if an living things were killed to make the products. And Remember REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE.Read More......
Man or Nature..
Labels: Man or Nature..Summary/title:-
this is just a essay i wrote on for school hw......
its not perfect but i hope it inspires you..... :)
Imagine how it would be if the whole world was a desert where our world is inhabitable for living things. If we don't start doing something right now it might be too late to save our earth and save ourselves!
Global warming known as Greenhouse effect, is the gradual increase of the earth's average temperature. The Greenhouse effect is affecting our daily life. When all the industries release huge amount of carbon oxide and many harmful gases, they forms extra useless layer of atmosphere. Usually a sun light bounces off the earth but because of the extra layer atmosphere the heat is trapped inside the earth and it causes the temperature all around the world to increase, like greenhouse. Because of the greenhouse effect, the Arctic ice is melting, which caused the sea levels to rise and Arctic shrinkage (the marked decrease in Arctic sea ice). Many living things that were found near Arctic sea are disappearing from our world because of Arctic shrinkage. Good or bad, every little thing adds up to be big; everything you do every day is contributing to global warming, which is making it worse. For example when you go to market, your school or anywhere in a car you are polluting the air by releasing harmful gases. Of course a car ride won't affect the whole world but everything adds up to be huge thing.
Many People steel believe that global warming is manmade concept that is not true. But, How can you say that when the environment around us is changing every day. We all have seen all the worse changes around us, For example we all have noticed all the sudden unpredictable climate changes around the world or the recent hurricane that accrued near gulf of Mexico, which was stronger than before (all the heat and the pollution is releasing carbon oxides on the air which makes tornados and hurricanes stronger.) and all the rising of the sea levels. People believe that it's all natural cycle but, I disagree. There are many proves and records that shows the sudden increase of the temperature and climate changes. There are some natural climate changes but never huge ones like current changes. Other people also believe that it's a god's doing and there is nothing we can do but I disagree again. I think it's our doing and I think there is steel some time to correct our (ancestors) mistakes. No one is going to save you from your mistakes the only person who can save you is yourself.
If you start to do little things everyday to help prevent global warming or save the nature, you are on your way to save the whole world, A building is not made by a single brick it is made by many little ones, if everyone does a little of something it would be a huge help towards saving the earth. I don't think we can take a risk by waiting for god to save us or the natural cycle to be back to normal, it is a dangerous decision to make. So I think we all should keep all the difference a side and start to save the earth. No matter what road you are walking they all end at the same point, in the global warming arguments.

1. Get Educated
* Educate yourself about Global warming. You won’t be able to tell other people about it if you don’t have knowledge of the topic yourself!
2. Act Collectively
* Acting individually is not enough to solve this global problem. We must bring pressure to bear on power holders and decision makers in government to promptly and decisively act on the national and international levels to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Use Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
* Replace 3 frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
4. Keep your Car Tires Inflated
* Keep the tires on your car adequately inflated. Check them monthly. Save 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $840 per year.
5. Change Your Air Filter
* Check your car’s air filter monthly. Save 800 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $130 per year.
6. Fill the Dishwasher
* Run your dishwasher only with a full load. Save 100 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.
7. Use Recycled Paper
* Make sure your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
8. Buy Products Locally
* Buy locally and reduce the amount of energy required to drive your products to your store. The consumable products we all purchase represent over half of the average family’s carbon footprint!
9. Spread the Word
* There is a logo called CarbonCounted that companies can put on their products to communicate their carbon footprint. Look for products that have a low CarbonCounted footprint number.
10. Buy Energy Certificates
* Help spur the renewable energy market and cut global warming pollution by buying wind certificates and green tags.
11. Buy Minimally Packaged Goods
* Less packaging could reduce your garbage by about 10%. Save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide and $1,000 per year.
12. Buy a Hybrid Car
* The average driver could save 16,000 lbs. of CO2 and $3,750 per year driving a hybrid. Plug-in hybrids can save even more and give cash-back (see V2G).
13. Buy a Fuel Efficient Car
* Getting a few breathe. Save 2,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
14. Insulate Your Water Heater
* Keep your water heater insulated could save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.
15. Replace Old Appliances
* Inefficient appliances waste energy. Save hundreds of lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.
16. Weather Strip your Doorways
* Caulk and weather strip your doorways and windows. Save 1,700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $274 per year.
17. Use a Push Mower

Simple Things You Can Do.
Labels: Simple Things You Can Do.Summary/title:-
Here I have listed very simple things you can do (in your daily life) to fight Global Warming.
Step1
Drive less. Take bikes, walk or carpool whenever possible.
Step2
Consider investing in a hybrid or electric vehicle to help prevent against further global warming.
Step3
Replace all the lightbulbs in and around your home with energy-efficient fluorescents that use fewer watts for the same amount of light.
Step4
Clean or replace your filters monthly.
Step5
Choose energy-efficient appliances when it's time to buy new ones.
Step6
Decrease your air travel.
Step7
Wash clothes in cold water and line-dry whenever possible.
Step8
Use a low-flow showerhead, which will lessen the hot water used but not drop your water pressure in the shower.
Step9
Cut down on your garbage—buy fewer packaged materials to prevent further global warming.
Step10
Unplug electronics when they are not in use, because they still take up energy. At the very least, turn items off when they're not being used.
Step11
Run the dishwasher and clothes washer only when you have a full load, and if available, use the energy-saving setting.
Step12
Insulate your home better, and don't forget to repair or replace worn caulking or weather-stripping. Insulate your water heater.
Step13
Buy recycled paper products and recycle as much of your waste as possible.
Step14
Bring your own reusable canvas grocery bags when grocery shopping.
Step15
Plant a tree.
Step16
Have an energy audit done on your home so you can find the trouble areas and fix them.
Step17
Use nontoxic cleaning products.
Step18
Shop locally for food. A farmer's market is an excellent place to visit. And choose fresh food over frozen foods. Fresh takes less energy to produce.
Step19
Keep your car tuned up, and check tire pressure often to save gas.
Step20
Eat less meat and more organic foods in your diet to do your part in preventing global warming.
Step21
Use both side of the paper when you print if possible.
Step22
Use both side of the paper when you do home work or write something if possible
Step23
Turn the light off when you are leaving the house
Step24
Try to recycle every thing you can, if you do so you will get some money and help the environment ;)
step 25
When you print something try to print one size smaller if possible
