Find a Solution Video Proposal
Proposal
PSA about Miwok park
Playground, bathrooms, grills, trails, concrete affect environment?
creek is dry
parties/concerts = litter
How infrastructure (e.g. piping underground) affects environ./carrying capacity
How different time periods have affected the land (prehistoric vs. 1800’s vs. 1900’s vs. now)
Different conservation methods
How the community as a whole can help (Solution) :
Less littering
Less use of chemicals near the creek/trees/field etc…
Better use of materials-use to full extent before throwing away
Recycle and compost (recyclable and compostable items) rather than throw in the garbage right away
Make more people aware of our impact on the ecosystem
Less crawdad capture (by small children)
Less construction in the area
Scenes:
Get videos of park and different problems there, us talking, narration
How we can fix the problems, facts about Miwok
Nearby parks compared to miwok
How humans have changed it vs. nature
What humans have done to help
Signs to forbid things that are harming the environment at Miwok
Reflection
This project was, for the most part, amusing, though at some points it did get a little tedious. But I feel that is because of my lack of participation in the making of the video. At the beginning I was helpful, proposing ideas and giving input. But during the video-making, I felt somewhat aloof. My group members worked together well when we were on task though. We did get a little off topic throughout the project, going to other groups, listening to music, wandering, et cetera, et cetera. We were also a bit out of sync as a result of this. But, we did work efficiently when we were on task. We were also very compatible group mates.
Keeping our local ecosytems healthy and operative is extremely important. Its importance lies in that it helps to preserve Earth's natural biodiversity. By maintaining local ecosystems, we give more organisms habitats in which they can go about their normal lives - competing, eating, hiding; finding their niche and continuing their lives in that alcove. Biodiversity is important because it shows off Earth's beauty, it can give humans different medicines that are desperately needed to combat disease, and because it boosts ecosystem productivity. Though it is important to save Miwok Park, it is more important to save each and every remaining natural biome.
