Mission Blue

I recently watched an amazing movie for my AP environmental class in school and here is my response/review. PLEASE WATCH IT. SO SO GOOD. Learn more  here  (mission blue.org) The movie is on Netflix too! When Sylvia Earle said “No ocean, no life. No ocean, no us.” she meant that as humans we often don’t classify ourselves or give ourselves the responsibility and equivalent relationship with Earth (as we do deer or snakes for example), and rather see Earth as a tool and a burial ground for waste and mistakes.

On the tree I put sticks on, and for the moon I painted with nail polish.  This was made when I painted my banana, but I made it too big, so I made it a pregnant banana on its way to banana prenatal yoga. This painting I made in my history class. My friend shares her snacks with me and so I drew my chip and her orange slice.  This painting/journal entry was from when I was sitting in a succulent garden feeling very very lov
