Earth on Edge Video

Although we didn't get to finish the "Earth on Edge" video in class, I was very intrigued with the information presented. I learned many new things; however, some of the information I already knew and a lot of things that I thought were so were actually not. I am glad this video was presented to us because I ended up learning something and correcting misconceptions I had about the world I live in. One of the most shocking discoveries I made from this video was the fact that planting trees is not always a good thing and can actually harm the environment if it is not native to the land. The main message I got overall from this class session was that no matter how well intentioned man is to better the environment, if the right precautions aren't taken, the effects could be catastrophic.
