The more we get into this book the more its hitting home that we need to do more to help the environment. It makes me sad that people are so unaware of the problem, including myself. I just don’t understand why we keep using chemicals in our products that are harmful not only to the environment but to ourselves as well. This has to have something to do with the outrageous number of people contracting diseases each year. If each product has something in it that can harm us, then all of the products we make as humans each year is also killing us.
Last week's classes were really cool. I enjoyed learning about Girl Talk and how what he is doing is illegal but that is not going to stop him. I think it is a bit ridiculous that he is facing charges for sampling music when what he is doing is just as creative as what the original artists did. I think that initially artists make a ton of money off of a new song, but come on, its not like these old bands are out on tour or selling millions of albums every year still. You might as well let someone else play with your work to allow it to continue to make people and listeners happy. Also when he was talking about the patents and holding on to knowledge and doing nothing with it I got a little angry. I think there should be a time limit on patents and if nothing happens with it then it should be released for someone else to move forward with it.
