    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

Major Problems in the U.S. Healthcare System: Can they Be Fixed - 2 views

  •  
    There are many major problems within our healthcare system. For instance, there is a huge shortage of healthcare workers. We need healthcare workers in order for hospitals to run smoothly. Not only is there a shortage of workers, there is an opioid crisis as well. Many things need to be done in order to fix the healthcare system.
  •  
    The healthcare system is a mess right now. A lot of healthcare workers were called heroes in the beginning of covid and now they're being fired because they don't feel comfortable getting the vaccine. The shortage is from them getting fired. I actually lost my best friend to an accidental overdose.
  •  
    Americans spend almost twice as much on health care then the average for the 10 most high earning nations despite having the highest rate of mortality and suicide. There are people who would just as soon try and deal with a broken bone on their own then risk thousands and thousands of dollars worth of medical bills.

Hunger crisis deepens in Africa | Africa | DW.COM | 15.03.2016 - 0 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the food shortage in Africa. Unfortunately, this is affecting many, many adults and children in many countries in Africa. The article advises that the main cause of this food shortage seems to be the drought in these countries. Now I think that if the governments of these countries had some help to get it together, this could really help the people. Some of the countries are also raising the prices of their food, making it harder to buy-- worsening the problem.

    I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.

    This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.

    This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.

    I've been noticing how many people are sharing their concerns with water scarcity in Arizona, which is scary to think about. Any state that has hot, dry or humid weather is at high risk of this because of how much water is needed to survive in extreme temperatures. I appreciate the efforts described in the article about projects that are contributing to water scarcity in the nation and how to conserve as much as we can. Water is truly an under appreciated thing essential for the planet's survival.
