Water Planet

These days everybody seems to be concerned and worried about CLIMATE CHANGE and other environmental issues. Politicians and many other famous and public people such as singers or actors express their opinions about those problems. They invest money and time on it. A good example is the ecosite of Leonardo DiCaprio. There you can find a lot of information including some videos where he details the situation about "Climate Change" and "Water Planet".

Your task here is:
1st: watch the video about WATER once, if you watch it on the YouTube version posted on this blog you will be able to control it and go backward and forward as many times as you need.





2nd Take a note of the main words and ideas that appear on the video

3rd Watch the video again and read the transcript by clicking on this link.

4th write a comment on this blog to tell us:
- a) Your opinion about this video.
- b) Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of our planet? Why?

To get to know more about climate change go to this page where you can watch several videos about this topic. Greenpeace Videos

Some words:
Run off
Groundwater
Shaping weather
Limited resource
Ecosystems
And others
Xao people excuse the mistakes!

Hello!!

I think that this text is quite right, wars, pollution, everything that humans do has an impact on the land, and little by little we are destroying the planet.

My personal opinion is, what the planet has very short life now,I believe that within forty years the planet will be nearly destroyed, unless something is done, and I also think that governments have the authority to do something and so inculcárselo each of the citizens through fines, or simply withdrawing from circulation cars and other vehicles that pollute by more ecological, this is my opinion.

I am pessimist about the future of our planet because the people don´t help for this problem.We know,the people are destroying the planet evereday but we don´t do nothing for to help!!We are provoking a lot of problems:pollution,climate change,rain acid,global warming...
Thats problems are finishing whit the planet.
Other problem is the persons are dirtyng the WATER.There isn´t water,there isn´t life.The water is life.For those reasons I am pessimitc about the future our planet.
It is easy to help,I wait the people reason and all do somenthing.

Hello!
I like this video and I think the same. I saw the video several times. I think this video is interesting because it shows the problems of climate change. I don´t understand some words and expressions:

-run off: desborde
-groundwater: aguas subterráneas
-finite substance: sustancia agotable
-limited resource: recursos limitados
-stuck: atascado
-supplies: suministros
-careless: negligente
-flooding: inundaciones
-droughts: sequías
-supports everything: apoya/soporta todo
-treaty: tratado
-matter worse: peor cuestión
-mismanagement: mala gestión

The video reflects the importance of water for the survival of the planet. Water is very important for the world and we need it in our lives.
Water is a finite substance, a limited resource and it will take care. We are constantly hurting the planet(pollution, wars ... ). Everybody are destroying the planet. We don´t help. All the people must help to save the planet (animals…plants). Each person can help with a little bit.
I am optimistic about the future of the planet because I am not aware of the environmental problems.
Bye!

Hello!
I think this video have a lot of reason about the Climate Change.We will have a dangerous future if we don't solve the problem.From my point of view if we agreed to slow down the problem, we will avert a great alterations in the ecosystem:losses of forest, extintions of animals and the most importan,the problem of water.We have only a 3% of water in the Earth.If we don't kick to consume, the water will scarce. The pollution will destroy the ecosystem with the acid rain; and in the future, a lot of people will dead.
I think that if we agreed, we can able to slow down the Climate Change.Now we should cooperate to kick our consumption. Fight for the cause please!!!!
Bye and good lucky!

-tiny: diminuto
-entirely: completamente
-run off: desborde
-stuck: atascado
-supplies: suministros

I think the video is very interesting and his message is very important for presents and futures generations.
I’m pessimist about the future of our planet.
Water is very important for our live in the world and we mustn’t squander it.
Earth have one severe problem... we are the problem. The humans are destoying the planet and water is being threatened by pollution, climate change, global warming, mismanagement and war.
We can help our planet but we don’t do it...

Each person can help with a little bit!!!!
YOU CAN DO IT!! SAVE WATER!!

Bye!!!
Kisses!!!

hello!!!

I have seen this video,though I don't understand.I think this video is entertained and very important. This video speaks about the importance of the water and the hydrological cycle. The climatic change is a universal problem. I think that we would arouse aware and to help looking after the environment.

First,sorry for writing the commentary so late.

I like this video, it’s so interesting, but I didn’t understand many things. Thanks to the subtitles I can understand better this video. Some people are destroying our planet with motors cars, pollution and other things that are not always large scales. Only with a little tin you are contaminating the environment. I hope that in a no longer future this bad practice will be disappear.

See you!! ;P

HELLO!
After watching the video, I realize the big problem we have nowaday and the worst is coming.Our political leaders are blind about this problem.I agree with all the ideas that appear in this video.I hope it isn´t too late and all the people stop this barbarity.Behind this serial problem there are other economycal interests.
The man is the principal cause of this issue and only he is able to stop it.People think that what a person do is futile.
What if a person do something to help the world, and another one do the same,and another one...
We would save the humanity

Ana Teresa González Muñoz dijo...

I`m pesimistic about this problem. I think that human is the first cause for water pollution. We use very bad the water, we spill water when:
-We have a shower
-We wash dishes
-We wash our teeth
-We watering plants
-We cook
etc
We won`t be aware of this problem.

Governments not doing anything because solving the problem is very expensive. The most of water is contaminated and we are guilty.

Factories is others problems for the water pollution. They pollute river anda seas and kill many marine animals.

We must use water as treasure and we must be careful with it.

I think that human evole and we live in a pollution world in the future.











I saw this video and read this texte and I learn:
-run off: desborde
-careless: negligente
-droughts: sequías
-severe:severo
-finite substance: sustancia agotable
-limited resource: recursos limitados

Hi!!

I saw the video and everybody are destroying the world, people don´t realice that the world is reaching his end. We should work so hard to save the world.
We should give the planet in good donditions to our sons.

Francisca Pizarro dijo...

hello,i saw the video and i think that it is good that famous people like "Leonardo Di Caprio" devote their time in help to make aware of the people about this problems, that are so big and that affects us all. I am optimist i think that the people can help to improve this situation, when the problems are so big, it really hard to believe that one person can do something to help, but are thing that we can do, for example: save water.
The video allowed me learn new words that i didn´t know o i had forgoten like:
trough: a través de
shaping: dar forma
providing: proporcionando
unevenly: de modo disparejo
permafrost: capa subterránea de hielo
encroachment: invasión
aquifers: acuíferos
diverting: desviar
straining: forzar
poisoning: envenenamiento, intoxicacion
squandering: malgastar, despilfarrar
overburden: sobrecargar
leaders: jefe, líder
fulfil: realizar, satisfacer
pledges: promesa compromiso

Well.. bye ^^!

Hello Isabel! This is my comment
I saw the video and I agree that the water is very important in our lives and I think the same we must save the water.
The pollution is important too because the humans break ecosystems and we are contribuying to global warming and this is bad for our planet. The consequencies are people die if there isn´t water.
We must change this situations for ourselves and future generations.
I searched some words:
Supports everything: apoya/soporta
Treaty: tratado
Matter worse: peor cuestión
Groundwater: aguas subterráneas
Limited resource: recursos limitados
I really like this video We should save the planet and I hope so!
Byee
