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.

The climate costs is already a strain on Arizonans, the heat is very much devastating, and nobody wants to stay outside in the sun for too long. The website expresses the message that there needs to be something done to resist and fight back against climate change.

The tone of the article is urgent and presents a fear in the reader by the emboldening of death tolls and seems to be biased. It does come from an organization based on environmental change, however the article does not instruct or offer resources to enact change for the better. Was the point of the article to inform readers with the intention of causing fear or was it to get the reader to look further into their organization.

This article targets those who deny the existence of climate change, despite the fact that Texas is experiencing a hurricane.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.
