Description
Bill uses his wacky antics, mini-clips and simulations to demonstrate how important it is for all of us to prepare for the future by developing solutions to combat the worldwide pollution problem. This entertaining and insightful video examines non-point sources of air, water and land pollution, emphasizes how human activity negatively affects ecosystems, and promotes sustainable practices. Bill encourages individual action and planet stewardship by drawing attention to the consequences of ecosystem destruction.
General Assessment
