The Two-Legged Space Ship

In this educational film, a young boy named Mark learns about environmental pollution in school and draws comparisons between protecting the planet and protecting one's own body. A police officer named Harris visits Mark's classroom to introduce the concept of "personal pollution," explaining that the human body is like a two-legged spaceship that requires clean air, water, and food to survive. Officer Harris discusses the dangers of introducing harmful substances into the body, detailing how smoking tobacco and marijuana damages the delicate tissues of the lungs, how alcohol impairs the brain and weakens health, and how inhalants and unprescribed pills pose severe risks. Ultimately, the film encourages children to make smart, independent decisions to keep their bodies healthy and unpolluted as the first step toward caring for the Earth.
