Pollution

What is pollution?

Bottles, cans, diapers and bags,

Computers, ipods, cell phones and more.

Waste, how we treat our Earth.

What is the message that we share?

Buy it, use it and throw it away.

Clog our rivers, dirty our lakes, fill our oceans,

Kill our insects,

Say goodbye to farm life,

See the grass turn to trash.

Our children what will they do?

Where will they play?

What will they eat?

Will it be safe to drink?

Watch as our world gets smaller and smaller

Pollution.

What it does.

It's time to clean it up!

I picked an advertisement of a new, morden white car with a white background. If I didn't see the documentary, 'a convenient truth' in our class, I could have thought that this looks fancy or attrative. However, I immediately thought about that people badly destroyed natural resources to build the infrastructure for cars. It seems like that people ruin their permanent habitat for the shortterm convenience.

Turn Your Living Room into a Great Room

This advertisement for Cisco umi, a camera on top of your TV with a remote to make your "experience" watching TV better as a family, disgusts me. The very fact that a camera and a TV make up a LIVING room does not mean living for me. I remixed this image creating an outdoor world in the TV to signify that families can benefit from being outside together. There is also an emphasis on the tree and how it can offer so much - fruit, nuts, shade, beauty, air, homes, etc. GO OUTSIDE and plant a GARDEN!
