Monday, September 10, 2007 | The Red a Black
Film invites
Univ. to ‘make
a difference’
By RACHEL WEBSTER
The Red & Black
Rituristic movies usually give a
sneak peek of sights coming in a few
years flying cars, laser guns, tight
metallic clothes. “Planet Earth - The
Future,” however, showcases what
won’t be around endangered ani
mals and habitats likely to be extinct
in. a few years. The film, part of the
popular documentary series known
for its cinematography, will show for
free tonight, jointly sponsored by
SEA and SOS.

f What are SEA and SOS? \
These on-campus organizations work to raise awareness of
environmental and animal rights issues.
SEA. Students for Environmental Awareness, and SOS,
Speak Out for Species, have joined forces to regale the campus
community with a presentation of global proportions —a Blue
Card event complete with snacks.
•Here in our iittie environment at UGA, we don't see how the
way we live affects the world in general," said SOS president
\Claire Rice, a third year student from Decatur. j
' What is "Planet Earth’’?
‘lt shows beautiful scenery with luscious plants and animals we
haven't seen before." said a series’ fan Eric Katz, a third year student
from Charlotte, N.C.
He said the show’s appeal is broader than just sandal-clad hip
pies and ultra-studious science majors. "I’m glad the show is captur
ing the attention of people who wouldn’t normally be interested."
Showing never-before photographed animals in their natural
habitats, the series took years to produce.
“It’s like a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said SEA president
Ashley Dronenburg, a second year student from Lawrenceville. “You
yOet to see things that you’ll never see again." >

f Why You Should Go \
Dronenburg said seemingly trivial actions can have a massive
impact on Earth in the future. "We need to care more about future gen
erations than about, ‘lt’s more convenient for me to throw this water
bottle in the trash can than to walk around the comer and put it in the
recycling bin,” she said.
Katz said although the movie lacks futuristic hovercrafts and holo
grams, he looks forward to it and hopes it will have an impact.
‘By raising awareness, more people will know how special and
unique our world really is," he said. “Hopefully, they’ll gain more sense
t of pride for our planet rather than want to destroy it." 1
* What You Can Do
The environmental extravaganza is designed to entertain and
inform the audience, but also to empower them to make a differ
ence. Dr. Robert Cooper and Dr. Michael Mengak, both of the
forestry school, will discuss conservation -and what students
can do to help.
SOS president Claire Rice said students can ‘pick up small
practices, like recycling or cutting up those plastic things so the
dolphins don't get their noses stuck in them." Students can con
quer global problems and still have time for Facebook. “It makes
people feel important," she said, “like you can do something.”
