Blog #4


In my opinion, the biggest environmental issue we are facing today is with water. Water scarcity, pollution, over-fishing, the obstruction of water ways are just a few to name. It is said that water will be our most scarce resource in the days to come but yet not many actions are being done to ensure that doesn't happen. There are issues in both salt water and freshwater that worry me. The big dump out in the ocean that seems to collect all the plastic and objects that aren't biodegradable. All the things that mankind are doing disrupts the natural flow of things, no pun intended, but it causes animals migration trails to be messed up and is wiping out species that are vital for other species to survive. The pesticides being used that make it into our drinking water, the list is pretty much non-ending. If I was given 100 billion I would disperse it across these issues, because I don't think that solving one issue alone will have any effect when it is all the different water issues that compile to make the disastrous problems we see today.
