Energy Conservation is the Key: Lisa Jackson.

“Energy Conservation is the key"

This video is about an interview done, days
before the Earth´s international day 2009, by Madison Hartke in which she interviwed Lisa Jackson, a very important member of the United States Enviormental Protection Agency (EPA) and in this video she explained the Epa´s function and job: protect human health. She also explained important facts that are affecting the word such as Pollution and its consequences; how EPA was created; the U.S. labor in this aspect; and what is doing EPA to give green jobs with the economy.

The main idea of this video was to know what is EPA doing to protect the world. It seems Lisa is a very kind person and she applied all her notions in this aspect for answering all the questions Madison did to her.
Finally, I want to end this summary with a sentence I liked a lot: “Energy conservation is the Key, IN THE 2010 EARTH DAY WE ARE GOING TO DEMOSTRATE THIS!”.


My opinion:
First of all, I think that EPA has a big responsibility, not only in the United States of America, also in the entire world.
I also think that EPA is doing a very good job not only for our Earth also for us and our environment. I also think that EPA was to be a global society, that means that it was to be around the world teaching people how to protect our environment correctly. I agree with Lisa that Environment and regulation has a cost, but we have to think about is when you do not control environment there is also a cost.
Colombia, I think, has to in some aspects the same, but in some others has to continue how it is doing, because Colombia, has also develop a good use of Energy during the last years with our Energy minister: Hernan Martinez .
Finally, for my, the moral of this interview is that people has to protect energy because it is the only way to have a good, healthy and durable word.
United States (EPA) for me is doing good things for the people and for the planet....
