Great piece!

The way it started off was very good. It's a great attention catching statement. The interviews were good and put in good places in the piece. This piece is very informing. I like how you mentioned common stores/brands that carry eco-friendly clothes. One thing you could improve on is telling more about cost efficient eco-friendly clothes.

Review

This is a very good subject all together. The research and idea of this piece is interesting, because it's something every person does based off of their thoughts, not facts. This piece also has research, and real life examples to back up the facts. Everybody drinks water, so it makes this piece relatable. The producer could have added more facts, such as stating how much energy's used to make water bottles, compared to how much energy to drink tap water. If there was more excitement, or emotions in this piece it would be excellent. It's a little dull to listen to, because the lack of emotion. Overall, this piece catches your attention, and is good.

Winter wonderland!

This piece is very opinionated, which makes this a very good piece. It is convincing. I like the winter, so that I can relate to this piece. She shares her love for the things that go on in the winter which can give everybody else ideas on what to do.
The piece is a little short. It would be even better than what it is if it was longer.

pollution

The title is every capturing. The beginning of the piece catches your interest with the music. The topic is broad enough to have many diverse people interested. Something as common as a razor, can get almost anyone interested. The piece was well put together, and was short enough to get the point through,but not bore listeners. The speaker in this piece mentions different types of razors, which is a good way to make people think about the topic. The piece could have had more information and other ways to prevent the pollution.

Comment for "Climate change in Shishmaref Alaska"

Your point got out !

Being a teenager who isn’t very conscious of environmental issues is something very common. The topic is very relatable, and a lot of people can apply this to themselves. This piece speaks to me, because a lot of people live in an area with water. In Alaska, houses are ruined because of the new higher tides. This piece catches peoples attention, because it’s not just one person talking the whole time. The people making this piece are basically making the statement that they have to stop global warming, or they’ll have to move a lot of things in the city. It’s very well put together.
The interview is constantly changing between multiple people, which keeps the listener interested. The stories in the interviews were very real, which made them relatable. When the interviewer tells about wanting to make her town last, it makes people realize that the climate change caused by global warming is a live or die situation. The topic is very well developed. This piece is kind of lengthy. It could be cut down by a minute or two and have the same meaning, and could come across the same points.
