It is basically about the damming of rivers as these people paddle rivers that are in the process of being dammed or will be soon. It raises the question of what is worth more, keeping the rivers intact as they are or harnessing their energy and changing them drastically. Also the people displaced that rely on the river are something to consider. Anyways, look around at the movie's website and watch the trailer. Comment with your opinions on the topic. In today's world we need an alternative energy source, but are these things worth giving up for it?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6953040289453214429-1524363300442842359?l=paddlefasterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>acooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806874609355131572noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953040289453214429.post-82484010061329103122008-10-02T21:44:00.006-04:002008-10-02T21:53:33.492-04:00So here it is...My first post on my Senior Exhibit/Kayaking blog. I have chosen the title "Paddle Faster" for now (I'm not sure, it could change) for its comedic reasons and it seems rather fitting considering the purpos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kq8_jiVZ9GY/SOV66RfnFTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/8YvPNgQL1PE/s1600-h/P8120129.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kq8_jiVZ9GY/SOV66RfnFTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/8YvPNgQL1PE/s200/P8120129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252739681944540466" border="0" /></a>e of this blog. Anyways, I am just trying to figure out how to blog, so this could be a struggle for a little bit but hopefully not for long. That's it for right now. Oh and here's a picture from my Rapid Experiences trip this summer while we were at the USNWC in Charlotte. It is just a test too.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6953040289453214429-8248401006132910312?l=paddlefasterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>acooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806874609355131572noreply@blogger.com2
