Mercury Poisoning PSA

1. For this project, my group decided to create a PSA to show awareness of mercury poisoning. I was personally interested because I sometimes eat a lot of fish, and when I found out that fish contains mercury, I was shocked and a bit nervous. So I wanted to learn more.
2. I believe I played a significant role in terms of contributing to the project by editing the video as well as coming up with a script.
3. One thing I believe we did well was gathering the research for the project, but one thing I would like to change would be the video itself. 
4. The most meaningful part of this project was that I learned more about the harms of mercury poisoning and that anyone who eats fish are at risk of having it regardless even those odds are small.
