A great video created by the website http://good.is and submitted by Malishka for extra-credit. It will explain to you how much potable water is available in the world (a teaspoon full) and demonstrate how much water is used in the western countries compared to the rest of the world. Don’t get fooled by the old style, this was made for world water day in 2008 so all the numbers are recent and accurate. Great find!

Sree sent a very informative video about the changes taking place in the industry of fishing. New fishing techniques deplete entire areas of the fish regardless of sustainability. The trawler fishing boat are so destructive that their path can be traced by satellite! Nothing bigger than 3 cm make it through their nets.
Deplete: to empty out
Sustainable: capable of being continued with minimal long-term effect on the environment

This excellent song from Tom Lehrer (he has a few other funny ones such as his version of the tango…) was sent to us by Divina who is obviously making some great discoveries on the Internet and earning some extra credit. Well done Divina! The song itself is a stop-motion animation made with a lego character moving to the tunes do the Elements song by Tom Lehrer. You can easily do stop-motion animation at home with a digital camera and Windows Movie Maker.
