Desalination is the process of removing salt from saltwater so that it can be used immediately and drunk. You can boil the water in one of two methods, then catch the steam that evaporates the salt. The second would be that water can be forced through filters to remove salt while still passing through. Water that is clean and fresh is essential for human survival. Desalination has the advantages of providing safe water, water for agriculture, and drinkable water for people. Desalination transforms seawater, a resource that is relatively abundant but unusable, into something that is beneficial for locations that lack freshwater. Desalination is criticized for harming the environment in addition to cleaning water for human use, according to some. Desalination can produce a paradoxical result and release greenhouse gases that exacerbate the effects of global warming.

I chose Yanisel's topic because it promotes peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable developmemt, provides access to justce and builds effective, accountable and inclusive instututions at all levels. What cuaght my attention and made me pick this topic was when she pointed out the research. "Based on the U.N sources one third of the worlds population, mostly women, fear to walk alone at night in their neighborhoods. A record of 100 million people had been forcibly displaced world either for, war, political fear, etc. The peace grow louder as the world is witnessing largest number of violent conflicts since 1946 and a quarter of the global population lives in conflict affected countries." Yanisel did very good in her padlet. it is very easy to understand and provides so much clear information. It is also extremely visually pleasing and organized.

I selected the topic of ending world hunger, especially in children because of how grand the problem is. This affects so much of the world yet it is often overlooked. The statistics is so heart breaking and I wanted many people to be aware.
I didn't realize the affects climate change had on this topic until doing research. Extreme weather is a driver of world hunger. As global temperatures and sea levels rise, the result is more heat waves, droughts, floods, cyclones and wildfires. Those conditions make it difficult for farmers to grow food and for the hungry to get it.

Rising at the border of Tibet and Nepal, Mount Everest formed from a tectonic smashup between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates tens of millions of years ago. The collision crumpled the landscape, raising mountains along some 1,5000 miles, a range we know as the Himalaya.

Hi my name is Jazlynn Perez. I was born and raised in Miami and this is my last semester before finishing my associates degree in Miami Dade College. I am really excited about starting my bachelors and eventually getting my degree in Exceptional Student Education. I want to be a 9th grade teacher and the next generation is where my heart is. I am very passionate about loving people in the way that God designed us to. My favorite hobbies are to be at the beach or on a boat or do anything with the water. My dad lives and is from Key West so I grew up always in the ocean which is why I have such a great love for it. I would describe success as living a life that is fufilling and full of purpose, love and joy.

The topic I have chosen is "Zero Hunger." The goal is to end hunger, achieve food security, and imporved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. I love this topic because it is talking about the the importance of nutrition and how we can help those that do not have easy access to food, especially children.

The Story Of Cosmetics is the video that cuaght my eye. I love make up, hair products and skin care. It is so important to make sure we are using the best ingredients we can to take care of our selves, if we dont it could possibly do the adverse affects and harm us. This video opened up my eyes so much more to just how toxic the ingredients are in the parducts we use daily, even baby shampoo. According to the video only 20% of the chemicals are assessed by the FDA and for me that is very concerning. This video opened my eyes to the way that big consumer products will use labels and nice words to cover what they really mean. For example, on cosmetics labels, words like “herbal”, “natural”, even “organic” have no legal definition. That means anybody can put anything in a bottle and call it natural. I am grateful for people like Annie Leonard who expose the truth.

What caught my eye the most was how much damage our trash does to the enviornment. "Each year humanity produces roughly 400 million more tons of plastic, 80% of which is discarded as trash. Of that plastic waste, only 10% is recycled. 60% gets incinerated or goes into the landfills, and 30% leaks out into the environment where it will pollute natural ecosystems for centuries. An estimated 10 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, mostly in the form of microplastic fragments that pollute the food chain." Hopefully we can do better to combat these problems.

The thing that caught my video was what Dr. Vaitheeswaran said about nuclear energy. I had no idea that nuclear power was considered a clean energy source since it has zero carbon in it. I am not sure if I would be pro nuclear power because of all the previous accidents such as phokashima and three mile island. If there was a way to ensure safety then I would be all about it.

How is world hunger affecting children?

World hunger affects everyone, especially children. The research shows that 49 million children under five are malnutritioned and 45% of all child deaths world wide are from under nutrition. When children are not getting enough food, they are not getting sufficient minerals and vitamins they need to survive, much less grow. This is causing so many illnesses such as asthma, anemia, weakened immune systems, along with so many other chronic sicknesses. This also leads to delayed development and many behavioral problems such as anxiety, hyperactivity agression, etc.

A lot of these big companies and building owners do not genuinely care about the citizens and their well being. Its very sad to see how climate gentrification is affecting our very own city and, whether they are being aware of it or not, people are supporting it. Many lower income families move to areas with dangerous sea levels and they have no idea and no one educatates them on the decision they are making. It makes sense now why the properties on the inland of Florida are rising in prices because the wealthy people know they will be less at risk
