"The earth is our mother...The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth." Chief Seattle,1854

After discussing about how to avoid pollution and protect the environment, I would like you to have a look at a couple of videos.
The first one is called "An inconvenient truth" and the speaker in the documentary about global warming  is the former American vice president Al Gore. The film was released in 2006. You've all heard about him in class.
Long time before, in 1854, the Indian chief Seattle gave the most beautiful speech on behalf of the environment and human kind.
This was his wisest answer to the President of the United States, who wanted to buy their native lands.

    Del primer video he entendido palabras sueltas, pero lo que mas me ha ayudado a comprenderlo han sido las frases que aparecian entre las imagenes.
    Del segundo video tambien he entendido palabras sueltas, pero menos que el primero. Las imagenes en este caso no me han ayudado a comprenderlo bien.

    Que nadie se haga ilusiones de que la simple ausencia de guerra, aun siendo tan deseada, sea sinónimo de una paz verdadera. No hay verdadera paz sino viene acompañada de equidad , verdad, justicia, y solidaridad.
    Juan Pablo II
    En el primer video, he entendido menos que en el segundo, ya que hablaba mucho mas rápido y solo he cogido algunas palabras.
    El segundo video lo he entendido mejor, habla mas lento y se le entiende mejor, me ha parecido un buen video.
