1.          Which of these situations impressed you the most?

The most shocked me in this movie, when a man hit a seal and made a fur from her skin, when he cut off the bear's head, hung it and took a picture with her, and put the little bear in the cage so that he could dance and when he jumped on the tiger, doing from it a rug, also when he experimented on rabbits.

2.          What connection can you find with the world we live in?

The earth is becoming more and more polluted and mechanized, which can be seen not only in this film. The world is becoming one big landfill. Plants, animals and even people die as a result of all pollution caused by man himself.

3.          Are you the kind of person who does this?

I think that I am not such a person, however, man does not always do everything consciously and voluntarily. He is not always aware of the deeds he commits. I am certainly not in favor of propagating the things that were shown in this film.

4.          What do you do in order to avoid this? In your family/ at school…

I try to produce as little waste as possible, use renewable sources, buy cosmetics and other chemicals that have not been tested on animals, do not buy bags, shoes or clothing made of animals or natural bristles, I use reusable bags, I do not take every day to school a new bottle of water, I only use it several times, I have my own garden at home and I use its crops, instead of buying everything in the store, also if I buy vegetables or fruit I do not pack them in separate nets, I just leave it loose.

5.          What is the significance of the end of the movie for you?

Someday man will be treated the same way he treats the planet.

6.          Find 3 solutions in order to become responsible student who is able to made a sustainable school.

 1. To reduce tree felling, you can buy electronic equipment needed for learning. This will relieve not only the environment but also the students.

2. All bio waste should go first to the appropriate container and then to the composter. Schools can make space for planting their own vegetables or fruit and then encourage students to look after this garden. Crops can be used in school canteens or sold to volunteers.

3. You can create watering holes. In order for students, teachers and school staff not to carry their own water in plastic bottles, or to limit the sale of bottled water in shops or vending machines, a waterhole with potable water can be installed in the school so that everyone can use it. This will reduce the waste of plastic bottles and the consumption of sweet drinks.

1) Which of these situations impressed you the most?

All film impressed me but for me the most moving scene was this about hunting wild animals . I am manage to understand when we gain sources which we really need.  But killing animals  to make something useless  but pretty. For instance jewellery from ivory. It is really horrible.

2) What connection can you find with the world we live in?

Whole film is reflection of our world . Film shows exactly our behaviour.We destroy our planet and don’t realise that.

3) Are you the kind of person who does this?

No I try to be responsible person.

4) What do you do in order to avoid this? In your family/at school..

In school we recycle rubbish, in home we save water, and electricity

5)What is the significance of the end of the movie for you?

It significant for me  that future isn’t easy and for whole  humanity and our behaviour might cause destruction.

6) Find 3 solution in order to become responsible student who is able to made A SUSTAINABLE SCHOOL

Recycle rubbish , Save water , Save  electricity.

1.          Which of these situations impressed you the most?

·       The situation which shows idle brutality of the human impressed me the most. Each of us must satisfy our needs but not in such a terrible way. Animals are living things and a part of our environment, so we should take care about they instead of harsh killing.

2.          What connection can you find with the world we live in?

·       By our irresponsible behavior we are directly heading to the world shown in the movie.

3.          Are you the kind of person who does this?

·       I think I’m not. I try to protect the environment. I recycle the waste, I take shower instead of having a bath to reduce the amount of wasted water.

4.          What do you do in order to avoid this? In your family/at school..

·       I try to life sustainable live. At home I have eco-dishwasher ( it use only 6,5 litres water for cycle and save energy). I always turn off the light when I leave the room. At school I collect rubbish and save water during washing hands.

5.          What is the significance of the end of the movie for you?

·       The last extract, which shows the arrival of the aliens impressed me the most. It images how small we are in comparison to the whole galaxy and we can also be treated as we treat other beings on the Earth. So it’s a warning for us, to change our demeanour.

6.          Find 3 solution in order to become responsible student who is able to made A SUSTAINABLE SCHOOL

·       a) Using energy from solar panels which could be mounted on the school roof

b) Using hand-dryer on solar energy instaed of paper towels in toilets

c) Using paper from recycling in toilets.
