    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.

    The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.

    While our education system is definitely flawed, many immigrants come to our country to pursue an education because of the quality of education available in the U.S. The big problem with this, however, is that "quality education" is generally expensive, or only available to the wealthy. With this in mind, how do our schools really measure up when comparing an urban, underfunded school with less-than-desirable educational quality to the "standard," as set by our society?
  •  
    I agree with this article in regards to what the issues are and how to address them. There isn't one magic solution, but I feel like better legislation and more resources going towards education can be a good starting point.
  •  
    I agree with many of the points and believe with the proper changes, and funding we can build a better education system. but also agree with dan that many come to america because we do have a great education system but most of it costs money.
  •  
    A lack of funds is defiantly a massive problem. If there's going to be a chance to fix these problems anytime soon, that should be a major one.
