My Anti-Drug

My Anti-Drug would have to be writing. When I want to relax and forget about everything going on around me I write. I always have hundreds of details in my head about stories, plot lines, something I can write down. So I get those details and create worlds and characters when i want to focus on something else. It relaxes me and I am able to lose myself in the worlds I'm creating. When I finish what I am working on I feel accomplished and proud of what i created. I usually don't finish any long term story lines because I always have another idea popping up that I have to write down but I think that helps me even more because when i get bored of an idea or get lost on my current story I always have a dozen others I can start on. I love writing because it keeps me busy, it lets me put my imagination into words.

The Inconvenient Truth

What stood out to me the most from the film, an inconvenient truth, is the rising of the heat in the atmosphere and how that would melt the ice so much that sea level would rise. The sea rising up to twenty feet, enough to engulf the coastal cities all over the world, scares me. I live in the coast and to think that my home might be flooded, that land, businesses, resources, and people might be taken underwater, is absolutely terrifying.

It has made me realize what is at stake, how much we can lose if we don't try to stop global warming. So much land might be taken away, so many people might be displaced, and there is already such a big population on earth. If our land is reduced we might end up being very overpopulated and that could bring in many more problems economically, politically, and environmentally. We might not have enough land for crops, and cattle, and homes. This could lead to more people hungry, more people without jobs, more people without homes. It could actually lead to fighting within countries, even to a war, and then we will have much more than global warming to worry about.
