McDonalds/Littering
My movie is about the obeseness from eating too much fast food like McDonalds. McDonalds is making a large majority of Americans fat and extremely unhealthy. It is a threat to the children because kids these days are eating more and more of it making there future lives very dangerous and it makes it easy for them to have many heart attacks. Many people can die from over eating fast food and that goes for all of them not just McDonalds. I hope that my film can influence people to stop overeating fast food and try to become a healthy nation together. Another topic is the fact that most people throw the wrappers on the floor and highways which cause littering which not just hurts people's health it hurts the planets.

 * Script**


 * Detailed Description**

( Scene one starts with everyone in commons eating vending food)
Connor: (Throws rapper on floor) Alessandro: Hey Connor you can't do that it's bad for the environment. Lucas: Yeah do you know what a waste that is you need to put plastic in the recycables. Connor:But how is it such a big deal it's only a piece of plastic. Lucas+Alessandro:How is it such a big deal, plastic harms the environment it could take thousands of years to decompose. Lucas:Also the plastic rings that hold cans and bottles together can get all sorts of animals caught in them and then get strangled. Alessandro:Lucas raises a vital point animals are killed everyday because people throw trash into water. Connor:Wow I never thought of it that way now I understand that littering is a huge problem. Connor:Now that I know I will never litter again. Alessandro:Now that we both understand each other me and Lucas can now explain littering a bit better now. Lucas:Yes like where it is and how it affects the area it's in and much it does. Connor:Thanks now I can learn more about this serious problem on our planet. Lucas:Look around you what do you see. Connor:Well I see a few pieces of paper and plastic bags. Lucas:Right, thats because people don't care about the environment. Alessandro:Well you see Connor when people do this it makes the people who clean up commons work harder so next time remember they have to work harder when you don't throw out your garbage. Connor:Gee I never thought of it that way. Connor:Hey can you tell what things afect the environment the most and then to the least. Lucas:Sure in fact there are some things that barely do anything to the environment when littered. Lucas:But of course we can't really name them all. Connor:Aw man. Alessandro:Well Connor the thing that affects the environment the most are paper bags the take the longest time to decompose and are very harmful but if everybody would just bring their own reusable bags paper bags will be void. Alessandro:Next would be those plastic rings that really infect sea creatures like fish and penguins, in order to take care of those you need to break them into circles and then throw them away. Lucas:Then lastly paper which decomposes pretty fast and even fertilizes the ground, but just throwing it on the ground is bad because paper comes from trees and we have a limited supply so paper must be recycled. Connor:Now that I know this I want to go outside and see nit in action so I know how to help. Alessandro:Sure lets go right now.

(Scene two starts with me and Lucas explaining littering to Connor by the playground and ponds)
Alessandro:As you can see people litter everywhere. Lucas:Look at the sidewalk and streets do you see all of the bags of fast food and cups and all other types of garbage. Alessandro:Oh that reminds me another vital point is that Americans should stop eating a lot of fast food it's harming the health in todays youth. Connor:But I already know what fast food does, I mean who hasn't seen __Supersize Me__. Lucas:Yes but people still don't understand that too much of it can actually kill you. Alessandro:Don't get me wrong you can eat every so often but too much is deadly but let's get back to littering. Connor:What would happen if those garbage bags were ripped open and there garbage was spread all over the place. Lucas:Oh thats an easy one, first of all the fish and turtles would die from pollution. Alessandro:The ducks might die if they drink the water and the rabbits could die from eating the garbage. Connor:Thanks now I understand how ecosystems can be destroyed so easily. Connor:Could we start cleaning up any garbage. Lucas:Sure I didn't think you would be so interested. Connor:Of course I am I mean this is such a vital issue. Alessandro:Well then lets get started Connor:Oh boy I can't wait. Connor:Oh boy this is really fun it's like a new hobby. (mixes paper with plastic) Lucas+Alessandro:(In total shock) Lucas:Hey Connor you can't mix paper with plastic. Alessandro:Yeah it might confuse the machines or something. Connor:Man this recycaling stuff is pretty confusing I guess I need more practice. Alessandro:Yes you do but we don't have any more time left. Lucas:Thats right boy time sure flies by when your having fun learning. Connor:Awww thats not fair I want to learn more please please. Connor+Lucas+Alessandro:We hope you learned something useful and liked our film.
