This is the website for an interesting project that details how nations compare to other nations based on certain social progress - including categories like health, ecosystem sustainability, basic education and personal safety. Though the United States ranks high in advanced education, it ranks significantly lower in basic education measures.

With only 3% of world's fresh water, this causes the threat of water scarcity. Some of the main causes are water pollution, agriculture, population growth, overall climate change. This is overall damaging our ecosystems and lack water for everyone all around the world.

Water scarcity is one of the biggest concerns of our time. The photos and videos on this site do a good job of conveying how dire the situation is, and how we should be paying more attention to such a precious resource.

This is a huge concern especially when companies are starting to sell water for profit

The article explains how important biodiversity is when maintaining life. The author explains that since 1970, human activities has destroyed 75 percent of all ecosystems. The article also talks about how our agricultural and fishing practices have driven 1 million species to extinction.

This is truly sad. It's horrible that people are causing species to go extinct, and it's even worse because it seems like most people don't care.

Work crews are cleaning up a spill of nearly 140,000 gallons of a diesel mix from a broken pipeline in north-central Iowa. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that the leak from a 12-inch Magellan Midstream Partners pipe was discovered around 8 a.m. Wednesday north of Hanlontown. Another pipeline breach sends 140,000 gallons into the ecosystem of north-central Iowa. These breaches are all to common and the consequences are extremely high for a resource that in my opinion will be obsolete within the next 50yrs. Why are we still using it?

This article talks about since Italy went into lockdown, human waste and agriculture spilling has decreased by 30%. Since Italy has less boat traffic marine life has returned to its usual migration pattern.

The article talks about how climate change is affecting the biodiversity all over the planet. It also explains that the oceans carbon dioxide is increasing due to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Their is also an increase of the ocean that is uninhabitable to marine life.

This is a good article because it talks about how climate change is causing so many issues in our ecosystem and the oceans.

This article explains that the Brazilian president is speeding up the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. The scientist's explain that we are reaching an irreversible point if the forest continues to be destroyed. The article also explains the attack on indigenous people who want to protect the forest.

I feel that this is an important issue, the environment is such an important part of the world we live in. Especially such a big rainforest such as the Amazon. So many animals will lose their homes and way of living.

In this article, it shows us how wildfires and it's smoke effect the environment and the people around the incident. These fires pollute the air. These fires can cause serious health issues.

Wildfires have seriously hurt our ecosystem and everyone/everything's health in the process. Lots of the fire could be prevented had people not be goofing around with flammables too.

Wildfires are so damaging! I've witnessed the problems its caused up in the northern part of Arizona by Pine and Strawberry, so thankful for the firefighters who risk their lives to stop them.

Conserving water is a must. We need water to do most of our living. We really don't think about water when we wash our hands, taking a shower, or even watering our lawn.

Agreed! Water is essential for everyone and we are wasting tons of it. Lots of us not even knowing! We recently had a person from our water company come to our home and tell us we were using too much water. Turns out we had a toilet constantly running. Makes you wonder how many other places are affected not even knowing.

Wow, the US used 170 gpd per capita while other counties like Australia only use 36! That is crazy. I completely agree that we should limit our water usage not just because it is wasteful, but also in my article it pointed out the benefits on our ecosystem.
