Wall E
Wall-E essay
This should be big and obvious, considering this is what the movie is all about. The ship was created for the purpose of luxury and turned into an escape from the planet because humans had entirely destroyed and used up all natural resources beyond repair. This is supposed to take place in the future, but there are many experts that say we are getting very close to doing this to the earth (within the next 50 years or less). Trash is compacted, shooting it out into space. Apparently, the reason for being in space has long been forgotten. It seems there is nothing to wake up the sleeping mind. Humans cannot see the problem of being wasteful and what it creates. Ground: Garbage becoming so intense that plants could no longer grow larger or start growing in the earth. Water, became unsafe to drink or use, then disappeared. So why trash? Why was Wall-E left to clean up after the fat and lazy humans left earth? Are we the bad guys? When the editor came up with trash, it was honestly because it was visual. You didn’t need to have English to explain it. Even a little kid will understand that, you know, you have to pick that up. And it shows that he was interested in what we were all about. Since when is pointing out that taking care of the environment, encouraging responsible care of the earth, and respecting nature and its resources "leftist" or "evil?" Nature, left to its own devices, does what it needs to do. The damage is done by mankind, and that is a simple fact, it is not an opinion but a fact. Clear cutting, cheap mining claims bought by mega corporations who pollute the land and water supplies with cyanide and then leave it for the American taxpayer to clean up, mountain top mining, and the resulting poisonous river sludge, ocean pollution the size of North America floating in the oceans, untested GM crops being forced on farmers and the American public being denied the right to know what's GM or not, private farmers being denied the right to test

    In his speech, Steven Seagal discussed how the big companies destroy the environment just to gain more money in the process. Those companies do anything for the sake of money. It is true that the human wants are unlimited and insatiable. We, people are never satisfied. Whenever we achieve a certain goal we always tend to make another goal.…

    Everyday we throw out the trash we never really stop to contemplate where it all ends up like a landfill, a ship, or even the bottom of the ocean. On September 5th 1986, the Khian Sea was well on it’s way for becoming the World’s Most Unwanted Garbage. The ship had so many toxins, infestations, and many other unpleasants contents that no one would accept it. It must be horrifying and nauseating to even catch a glimpse of what was on the ship also to know they dumped it somewhere not worrying about the consequences is truly despicable.…

    The article “Trashing the Oceans,” by Thomas Hayden, which was published in U.S. News and World Report, states how the oceans are being polluted by the trash going within it. Another article “Managing Marine Plastic Pollution,”John H. Tibbetts, was published in Environmental Health Perspectives, demonstrates how the pollution is greatly impacting the ocean. The article “Trashing oceans” utilizes ethos, logos, and pathos in a superior manner as compared to “Managing Marine Plastic Pollution” because it holds factual information and draws the reader’s interest.…

    Though some of Barsanti’s comments, like calling the humans on the ship “a swaddled band of babies” are a bit harsh, they’re true. Although pointing out the hypocreciy of producing thousands of Wall-E and EVE toys was enlightening, it does not relate to my topic. However, this article will provide me useful quotes and…

    Since garbage is taken to landfills most people perceive the issues of their trash as out of sight-out of mind type of situation, but the amount of trash currently present on Earth is no big fuss because it would not cover much. In this article the support of this sub claim comes from A. Clark Wiseman of Spokane's Gonzaga University, he discloses “At the current rate, Americans could put all of the trash generated over the next 1,000 years into a landfill 100 yards high and 35 miles square. Or dig a similar-size hole and plant grass on top after it was…

    At the beginning of the film Earth is trash ridden, uninhabited by the human race centuries ago. This already in itself is depressing and evokes the idea of recycling and being green or else the Earth is doomed. This is implied personal responsibility from the film. In this heap of trash Wall-E finds a budding plant. This is the first sign of life in years on Earth and because of the way that Wall-E and Eve act out of pure joy and passion for this little plant it makes us think how crucial life really is. This employs the idea of personal responsibility for this planet we live on…

    There is really nothing that is made anymore, that you don’t throw away. The movie shows that when you the collection of items, that people just throw away, in Wall-E’s rotating closet. It is also seen when he compacts trash into blocks. Items that were once valuable are now worthless. In other words everything is replaceable by something better. So, what do we do? Throw the old item away.…

    Ecological Destruction is the degrading of the environment and resources such as air, water and soil. America make up 5 percent of the earth’s population and yet consume about 30 percent of its natural resources. So imagine the rest of the world using up the reminder of our natural resources. We all know that we need trees of which is responsible for the air we breathe. But yet we cut them down to make paper, if each person can recycled their paper for one day worth we can save about 75,000 trees. In the movie Idiocracy there was barely any vision of trees seen. However, there was wrappers, paper materials in the garbage spread all over the floor. In addition the abundance of cars that was driving the streets, giving out carbon dioxide, when it wasn’t even necessary for them to drive, they could have just walk. Billions of plastic material are made year but one percent finds it way in a recycling bin. Which is very dangerous if mammals and birds come across the plastic and ingest it, causing them to choke and die. Then there is the 16 tons of sewage that is dump in the water each day. That sewage contaminates the fresh and salt water and harming animals in the sea. A single quart of motor oil that is dumped in the trash can also contaminate millions of gallon of…

    We are destroying our environment only to change our surroundings into what we think is more esthetically pleasing. I agree with Thompson’s evaluation of the Nacerima culture and behavior. We cannot exist on only man made products. By altering our environment we are changing the quality of the very things we need for our survival. Everything that we do has an impact on something else. The cars that we conveniently drive every day are contaminating the air in which we breathe. Not convinced? Just take a look at global warming. We are responsible.…

    Trashed Response

    From the perspective of space you can barely tell the effect humans have made on the earth. As you get closer, however, you can see the trash and impact we have truly caused. “Trashed” was influential to me because it opened my eyes to a different perspective. It showed me real world people in real world situations. I’ve ignored the facts and was ignorant to not think of the fact the world is deteriorating around me. I never really thought of where all our trash goes not only as a community but as a entire world. I have thought of how we affect the world around us but not in this aspect. I did not understand it was this bad and to this level. It honestly scares me. This is an award-winning documentary movie. It was directed…

    Consumerism In America

    • 541 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The United States does not look good from an environmental standpoint compared to other countries. If every other country consumed at the rate the United States does, we would need three to five planets. That’s a lot of garbage and “stuff” to place on other planets. Another fact is that in just the past thirty years we have used up 30% of the planets natural resources. This is a mind-boggling statistic and very hard to imagine. In sixty years time, if we don’t change the rate at which we consume and the way in which we consume, the earth will have very few natural resources left for us to take. Our high rate of consumerism is a major part of this problem.…

    Littering Research Paper

    • 832 Words
    • 4 Pages

    This is probably the reason why the earth is being polluted with trash. Studies show that people litter because they do not feel responsible for public areas and that people usually litter outside of their neighborhoods where the trash becomes someone else’s problem. One example on how litter can affect the environment is that organic litter can cause water pollution and lead to algal blooms, and cigarettes could also start fires if they are not put out and then discarded in the environment. In Al Gore's speech he talks about how in 7 years the North Polar ice cap might “fall off a cliff.” This might happen in 7 years because of the Northern Hemisphere tilting away from the sun. This happened because of all the pollution and global warming we caused and because of our trash. So, people may argue and say one piece of trash on the ground doesn't really matter and that it’s okay to throw little pieces of trash on the floor but it’s not. Every little piece adds up and still causes damage on the environment. So think next time you're about to throw your candy wrapper in a nearby bush. Think about the consequences of that action and how it will affect the…
