Mr.Ryan was trying to defend his property but Sasol wasn't putting up with it and bought him out.
Also he was trying his hardest but his health was getting the best of him and he couldn't even use his payment money to get his son away from that town he used it on medical bills.
My class recently watched a video on Mossville and the highest earth polluting company known to man! Sasol is stopping many lives from being happy, and living the American dream, and ending many lives too! Mossville is a old community which thrived before sasol gave them the bum's rush, something has to be done, even if it means bringing them down. >:(
Yes, there are things I wouldn’t change. That is high meat consumption, I like eating meat. My family is mexican and we eat a lot of meat with other things that makes a truly delicious meal.
I think that needing new technology depends on the person, some might need it due to disabilities. I get a new cell phone every two years, I don’t really consider the environmental impact. And I'm not addicted to the point where I need my phone everywhere.
I noticed the more c02 you use the more the footprint goes up
Something you can do to reuse cans, cardboard containers,glass,and plastics is turn them into fun crafts. Another thing you can do with things like empty soda bottles and things of that sort is use them as containers for other things, like beads, or marbles, you could also turn bottles and cans into plant pots.
I think there are some things that I just can’t change. For example, my showers. I have such long hair that it takes at least 15 minutes alone to wash it. I also can not change how much air conditioning we use in our house. We have two dogs. One of them is really fluffy, and her hair makes it easy for her to get hot, since she is a mountain dog. We live in a really hot area, so we have to keep it on for her. I also can change my note taking habits since it is a literal requirement to use it how I do.
Normally,my family and I travel by car to Colorado,that most likely puts a lot of carbon into the air, but this is not a tradition my or my family is willing to end.
Many things you own create waste as it's created, from chips, to your whole car! And what do people do with that waste? Well, they waste it! We need to put that waste to use, by finding some way to recycle it and vastly lower the high Co2 content in the atmosphere. Scientists and green organizations should start experimenting with ways for some of the most common waste products to have a not-so wasteful use. For example, sewers get rid of the waste by just throwing it in the ocean! Biological waste that doesn't belong in the ocean can harm the environment, leading to more Co2. why don't people at least extract any ocean harming biological waste, and use it as a healthy fertilizer for land? Yes, it would be gross, and people wouldn't want to do it, but they should also consider the way it can positively affect future generations, and themselves. In conclusion, healthy reuse can lead to a healthy society, ecosystem, and world for all. 
my grandma lost her house to a hurricane a couple years ago and we had to help her pay for it and we had to not have a lot of for for a lil bit but is aight we up
I believe that having the latest technology is a need for some people, like those who have disabilities or conditions and need certain technology, having the latest technology is a need. But if it’s someone that is perfectly healthy, there is no use for the latest technology. I’ve had my first phone for around 3 years, and I haven’t gotten a new one since. If I were to get a new phone, I would consider the environmental cost. I am not addicted.
I personally think that you do not need the latest tech. Sure it might be funner or a little more efficient in the long run, but in no way do you need it. I do not get a new cell phone unless mine is outdated to the point I can’t use it, or I break mine (Luckily hasn’t happened!). I have not personally thought of the effects this has had on the environment until I did this. I think if you’re addicted, it’s helpful to look at nature, and remember why the world around us is so beautiful! You know? Thanks for reading!
