Water Sanitation

 There's so many problems with water around the world but one big problem is the sanitation of water. Two million people a year die from the water not being able to drink because of how unsanitary it is but people still drink it to survive. Eighty percent of disease in developing countries is caused from the lack of water supply and how dirty the water is. Not only is the sanitation of water horrible but women and girls in different countries have to travel every day to get water for the whole day for their families. The trips they take to get water take up to six hours to travel to the water spot and back. Of the lack of water in countries it pulls girls out of schools to help their families with water supply, since the women have to drop out of school for this it leaves the boys to stay in school because they need to be educated so they can provide for their future families.

    It is crazy to learn about how the water in different places is not sanitary enough to drink, when that is a number one source of nutrition we need in our body. The saying “don’t drink the water in Mexico” is true because our bodies are not used to that kind of water source. The walk for the women and girls is so far sometimes that I feel like a lot of it would fall out of the pots before they even made it back to their family. I think a lot of the water would be saved if place would be more cautious of what they put in their water source.

    I posted about the same topic, but it is really intriguing to have another source and another statics. Every person should have access to clean and drinkable water. Without this post I would never know that the trips affect so much of everyone who is in need.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
