On the New York Times website, there was a video on the enviroment in Russia. It was called the "Trouble on Russia's Lake Baikal"
This video is about a factory that, to many enviromentalists, is poluting one of the natural wonders on Earth, Lake Baikal. Enviromentalists fight to have the factory closed to stop destroying the natural glory, but citizens who live there oppose that idea, for that factory is pretty much the ONLY job available for many miles.
This video is controversial because it shows the two sides of the problem, which is still going on today, and not many know what to do. For now the factory is again open, coming from the fact the it had been shut down for a while, but then again reopened by the Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin.
The reported presents this information by video taping, and talking about, both of the sides of the problem. He explains the reason for both parties, and let them explain them selves too. He also included the history of the factory and the town that proved how important the factoy is to the people, and the rest of their economy.

ReplyDeleteI think that government money should be spent to create alternate jobs for the mill workers so that they can make a decent living without contributing to the pollution of the lake.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think about Ana's blog is that I think the factory owners should give everyone their jobs and for them to stop polluting the water. Its become an issue for the people that need to work in the factories. Or for the government to create more jobs for these people.
ReplyDeleteThey should make a factory somewhere else, or create more job opportunities to the people who work there. I agree that the factory is bad for the lake but these people need jobs. They need to come up with a solution!
ReplyDeleteI think this is very interesting because it's amazing how the Soviet Unions communistic government is still affecting people's way of life. It shows how people will need to be payed more in a capitalistic government because they need to pay for health care, education, etc.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Anna's video was very controversial. It is hard to know what to do because the issues are both very important. The people of the town need work and it isn't fair to take away the only source of work they have. The other side is that since the lake is such a important water supply for the whole world. We need to keep it clean or it will be a huge blow to our water. More jobs need to be available for the workers of the factory that do not pollute the important lake.
ReplyDeleteThey should create/build new jobs.
ReplyDeletei think the factory should invest in being more envirmentaly friendly. the workers need the jobs.
