Today's post is about another news article, titled "'Planet of the chickens': How the bird took over the world." This was published on BBC News by Helen Briggs on December 12, 2018. I decided to look at this article because of the amount of documentaries I watched that either focused mainly on chickens or included …
“Climate change is ‘shrinking winter'”
This week, I was planning to watch another documentary to blog about, just as I have done for many weeks now. However, the first documentary I planned to do was no longer on Netflix when I checked a few weeks ago, so I chose a different one to do and added it to my list. …
“A Plastic Ocean”
This documentary, "A Plastic Ocean," was released in 2016. This film looks into the environmental impacts of pollution and how it is impacting animals and our planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zrn4-FfbXw The relevance of this documentary has only grown throughout the years since. Just this year, the use of alternatives to especially straws, but also other plastic items …
“Before the Flood”
This week I watched the documentary "Before the Flood," which was produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. This documentary basically encompasses all of what human action is doing to the planet. DiCaprio travels all across the world in this film to talk to world leaders, climate change experts, and to discover exactly what's happening to …
“Food, Inc.”
This week, I watched a documentary called Food, Inc. I watched this documentary a few years ago when I was taking an Environmental Science course in high school. This was one of the first food related environmental science documentaries and one that had really encouraged me to change my eating habits at that time. These documentaries …
“Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret”
Here is the week I have been waiting for since I watch the episode from Rotten about cows. I had started Cowspiracy a few years ago, probably when I was a senior in high school, but never got around to finishing it. I'm glad I finally did. This document is packed with tons of statistics and facts …
The Finale
This is a post about the sixth and final episode of Rotten. My first thought is that I am glad it's over. After the fifth episode (and my last blog post), I am negatively biased toward the series. I don't like it. I don't see the point of it. I believe the point was that …
A Quick Break
This week - as I have been doing every other week up until this point - I watched the next episode of the series, Rotten. However, this episode bothered me and made me reflect upon the series as a whole, so this post is going to be a little different. "Milk Money" the fifth episode in …
“Big Bird”
On January 5, 2018, a 6-episode docuseries was released on Netflix by the name of Rotten. This Netflix-original docuseries looks deeper into the food industry as it faces new challenges throughout the years. The third episode is titled "Big Bird," and dives into the poultry-raising industry, a very popular topic of environmental documentaries recently. However, this episode …
Update: “Garlic Breath”
Since posting about the third episode of "Rotten" last night, I was fortunate enough to receive an email from a farmer at Christopher Ranch and member of the Christopher family. I voiced my confusion about the situation to him, and he was gracious enough to explain their side of the story: which was not well …
