My Anti-Drug

At times when my mind has become condensed with the weight of over thinking, I enjoy doing anything that gives me an adrenaline rush. One time after a particularly bad rejection, I decided to search up a national park with a cliff diving location. The extreme adrenaline of the jump, and the rush of the water after a long free-fall gave me an extreme buzz for several days afterward. Although I am not able to copy the physical effects of the cliff dive, I search for different ways to find the adrenaline that will put me on a rush. Hiking also makes a big part of my anti-drug. I love nature and being surrounding by trees always provides me with the emotional ease that distracts me from all of my problems.

An Inconvenient Truth

In an Inconvenient Truth, the thing that surprised me the most was that climate change extremes and the lack of water and other vital resources for our survival is not far around the corner. These are issues that will be upon us in only a couple of years. The glacier problems and the sea levels rising are not something i had thought about previously as an outstanding global warming issue, however, i now know it is one of the main issues in relation to global warming. One of my greatest fears for the future in relation to global warming is he growing threat of the lack of water. An inconvenient Truth strengthened my fear. With the melting of glaciers, almost half of the population of the planet will be left without access to drinkable water. There will definitely be some retaliation against the nations who have greater access to that necessity. As an individual, i already have the ability to see the effects of global warming. It seems to me that each year that goes by seems hotter in regards to temperature. The winters seem shorter and colder, and we are also experiencing a severe drought in our state that has left many areas without water. When I went to lake Perris after three years since  my last visit, the park seemed to be an entirely different place. The grass was dry, there was less wildlife, the trees had no leaves, and everything seemed dead. An inconvenient truth is a film everyone should watch because thee needs to be more awareness about the negative effects we are having on our planet. It needs to stimulate the response from people to end global warming an its negative effects before it is too late to solve the problems we have brought upon ourselves.
