Topic for final project

I was interested in delving into the world of media with a focus on the "Green Movement" or environmentalism and sustainability. Films such as An Inconvenient Truth (presented by former US vice president Al Gore), The Day After Tomorrow, March of the Penguins, and even children's movies such as Ice Age are trying to open the public's eyes to our effects on the planet. Series such as Planet Earth or Blue Planet (created by the discovery channel) show viewers nature at its finest and implore upon its audience to help save the planet. Even commercials on television, such as Esurance, tell consumers that if they use their insurance company, they don't tell the audience how to help save the planet. Also, the cost of becoming green is high, which leads us to wonder whether it's worth the trouble if our planet is already doomed to ruin anyway.
