Some Environmental Documentaries You Must Hear About

By Alyce Powell


There are a lot of documentaries out there that people get to hear about and watch on a daily basis but then there are those that you simply have to see. These environmental documentaries are those that affect parts of the environment that you actually care about. Given the fact that people can only stay healthy when they take good care of the environment, these documentaries ensure that you know where you go wrong so that you make the necessary changes.

One documentary tells on how dolphins are killed in large numbers by the Japanese. It tried to explain that these fish form an important part of the food chain of the sea hence it is very important that they are not eliminated entirely. It also educated the public in the effects of taking the meat of fish that is contaminated with mercury. The major source of the mercury is pollution from the activities of most people. This is known as The Cove Documentary.

Sustainable development is considered to be the main agenda by Who Killed the Electric Car. This tries to inquire on how the ideas behind designing a car that will rely on electricity for its source of energy quickly vanished. This was considered to be a development that is sustainable since it did not rely on a non renewable resource. The fact that this was completely forgotten inspired this documentary.

In the future water is seen to gain more value that what oil has now. This is then likely to cause a war that will involve big nations and large corporations. It sees water as a grenade that is just waiting to go off in a matter of small time. This is referred to as the Blue Gold: World Water Wars and also sees water being scarce in the future as a result of how people use it irresponsibly right now.

The Food Inc documentary goes ahead to try and explain that agribusiness produces food that is not suitable for human consumption. It views the production as harmful both to the employees who work there and the animals that are used. It also focuses on the production of meat and chicken and argues that the production is done unsustainable. The food that is supplied by the companies is cheap but also contaminated. This means that they pollute both people who eat and the environment.

In the mean time, people were once being offered money by natural gas companies so that they could lease the lands that they live in. The main reason for this was so that their lands could be drilled from natural gas. Among the affected areas include Wyoming, Texas and Colorado among many others. This action caused a lot of environmental impacts that impacted on the health of many people. For instance, the water was polluted and as a result people suffered respiratory problems. This is referred to as the Gasland documentary.

It is therefore very important that people take good care of their environment so that they stay safe from any health complications. By doing so they will be taking good care of themselves too.

These environmental documentaries play an important role in delivering information that people can use so that they make the environment that they live in better. It educated people on the dynamics of negative effects on the environment on the well being of people.
