By Deisy Ruiz

The hour radio show I performed last March 17, 2012, was about “Caring for the Future & Reducing Pollution” which is a very important topic I wanted to share because that is an issue that is affecting our planet Earth. I invited two students who gave us lot information about what is pollution and green house effect. For example, they explained how pollution occurs at the atmosphere at all levels. Also, they taught us how it can affect human health and the climate, oceans, rivers, ground water, and how the land can be damage by pollutants. Moreover, we learned how Energy from the Sun passes through the glass and warms up the inside. Then, the two students informed us about the different number of pollutants. Among them are: carbon dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), and Chlorofluorocarbons (CCL2F2). My hour had an (UC) Urban Contemporary format considered the “melting pot” format, which attracts a large numbers of Hispanic and Black listeners as well as white. I used this format, because I know this area fall in this kind of population being me one of those too. I programmed my hour show by four quarters; I started my intro show in which I Introduce myself in the show, and the name of my show. Then, I gave an advance about what the show will be. Then, I sent a legal bumper ID, after that there was a song “Mami Ven Conmigo” Then, I started my show with the first part of the information about how pollution is affecting our planet Earth.
