A Civil Action Paragraph Response

What we do to the earth reflects back onto us. By polluting our earth, we pollute our food and water source, and make it an over all more difficult place to live. In the film A Civil Action, John Travolta's character, Jan Schlichtmann, comes across a case where children are dying of leukemia. He finds that one of the reasons they are getting it is from the water supply to the town. There are plants all around that have dumped chemicals into the water. People don't think of the effects that they have. If there is an easy way out, like dumping chemicals instead of properly disposing them, people will tend to take it. If we are not careful, pollution is going to take over, and earth will no longer be a place where we can live.
