Sample Script for History On-Camera Casting
Read Direction: The following is a section of script talking about the impact of pollution in rivers. The tone isn’t too heavy and down but it’s serious and mean to convey the importance of protecting the environment and righting past wrong doings from corporations and manufactures.
Despite all its uses, Mercury has also been found to be quite harmful to the human nervous system and eating fish with high Mercury levels is the most common way that people can be exposed to the chemical. Once it is in the environment, Mercury can accumulate in soil, plants, and animals. Due to Mercury’s health impacts, its use in many consumer products has been phased out. However, Mercury particles that are left behind can linger for many years. As you walk along the River, you won’t see little silvery beads or liquid like in a thermometer. Instead, in our natural habitat, mercury takes the form of tiny particles that are too small to been seen with the naked eye. However, these tiny particles have allowed Mercury to accumulate over the years in riverbank soils, fish, birds, and other plants and animals that inhabit the river environment. The solutions to the Mercury contamination are not simple, and it has required many years of scientific studies and monitoring to understand how Mercury moves through the environment and the best ways to clean it up.
