Pollution in People By Jonathan Stanton

How did you hear about Citizens for Global Solutions Flash Contest?
One of my teachers informed me of this, THANKS KAREN!

Was this your first Flash piece? How did you first learn Flash?
This was not my first flash piece, I have been toying with flash for several years.

How did you choose your topic –OR- Why is your topic important to you?
My topic is important to me because I have been working with pollution in people for all of 11th grade so far, I actually helped get flame retardants banned!!

Before the contest, did you consider yourself fairly knowledgeable about global issues? Has this contest opened your eyes in any way?
Like always I have learned a lot more about this topic, browsing the internet really enlightens you and this contest almost forced me to (even though they didn't have to).

Did you have any weird, funny, horrible, or in some other way memorable moments during the making of your Flash piece for this contest?
11 straight hours once that hurt, enough said on that.

Any last words/Anything else you’d like for us and the flash viewers to know?

I learned a lot about animation and the different pollutants that go in my body everyday! Sadly it is life threatening and people die every day from these effects, but I am glad that progress is being made to prevent all of this. Did you know that when a company comes out with a new product it is innocent until proven guilty? By that I mean unless there isn't anything harmful known about the product it is perfectly safe even though it could still be harming us and even killing us? Kinda of a scary thought. A big thanks goes out to Global Solutions! Check my website for more information:
