    This article states the benefits of recycling. Although this isn't quite directed into laying directly into an issue, it's laying out the foundation on how to prevent future issues. The Earth is currently unsustainable for how much waste the human population creates right now, and one large way to help reduce one's footprint on Earth is to use bio products, and recycle.

    Recycling is a huge thing right now that everyone needs to start doing if we want to save the world. I wish more people would hop on board and realize how much danger the earth is in.

    Everyone should recycle! Not only as a "save our planet" kind of rant but to save ourselves as well. Don't you want to live in a clean environment. These 9 benefits should open your eyes.

    I agree that recycling is very important because when trash covers the ground, it takes away from the beauty of the earth. We need to take better care of this planet because when we do we also take better care of ourselves.

    The article gives credible information regarding the recyclability of solar panels and Wind Turbines. The authors supply factual information regarding what percentage of solar panels can be recycled. In addition, the authors describe the hurdles to overcome in regards to recycling wind turbines. The author also includes information on the current research in turning the fiberglass of wind turbines into cement.

    This is a really great resource, I read it and couldn't think of any questions that the site hadn't already answered about the topic. I think it is reliable because I couldn't find any bias, it is a somewhat recent post, and it provides factual information with credible support.

    In this site it is explained how plastic effects human beings, more so the poor. The poor are targeted by pollutants in the plastic that are burned in open incinerators. The effects of plastic is an issue not many of us consider because we all take recycling as a good deed but it is shipped to Asia where the poor is effected by pollutants.

      A way to prevent food scarcity as much as possible while water shortage becomes a real time issue
  • rely on groundwater that’s already overpumped.
  • The nation’s largest reservoir already has hit the level that triggers mandatory shortages — 1,075 feet (328 meters) above sea level.
  • most deeply felt in Arizona
  • exchange for U.S. funding

  • reservoirs dipped to historic lows across the West. Scientists blame climate change for the warmer, more arid conditions over the past 30 years.
  • melted snow from the Rocky Mountains
  • drinking water, nourishment for crops and habitat for plants and animals
  • storing water underground and in Lake Mead and through conservation.

    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.
