For my journal entry this week I am going to write about a part in the documentary "Green". The part I am going to be talking about is the end of the movie where the Indonesian man is shown flying a bird kite around. The man is surrounded by developing buildings and shops that are made of wood and located in what used to be a forest.
The irony of this part is that he wants to fly the kite to simulate a bird that they do not have in the village any longer after their homes were cut down, if there would not have been deforestation he wouldn't need to simulate the bird because it would still be flying around in it's habitat.
People do not realize just how long the chain or how many things they affect by using the things they purchase or use daily. In a rapidly growing civilization the resources for the animals are quickly becoming obsolete.
