OUR WATERWAYS ARE POLLUTED.

Water pollution is a nationwide problem that threatens our drinking water supplies, food sources and beloved forms of recreation. Treasured waters are at risk from pollution and industry water grabs and can no longer support the needs of people or wildlife.

WE ARE PROTECTING THE NATION'S WATERS.

DEFENDING OUR RIGHT TO CLEAN WATER by restoring the full protective scope of the Clean Water Act to cover all important water resources, obtaining limits on water pollution from polluting activities, and forcing the clean up of polluted waters.

SAFEGUARDING OUR NATION'S WATERS in areas like the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Lake Tahoe, the Everglades and other Florida waters from rampant pollution and degradation.

WE'RE PROTECTING OUR WATER RESOURCES.

After Earthjustice helped generate more than 150,000 comments demanding clean water, in 2013 the EPA proposed a series of options for cleaning up the billions of pounds of arsenic, lead, mercury, and other toxic pollutants that power plants dump into our waters.

There were few opportunities to learn and talk with groups in China, so it's interesting for me to have a discussion in a group in class. Everyone in groups could share himself/herself with others, and we need not to be afraid of making mistakes because when somebody makes a mistake, others will correct him/her patiently instead of laughing at him/her. That sounds great, isn't it?
In addition, I will interview an American this afternoon to finish my homework.To be honest, I'm a little nervous because I hardly chat with people from other countries and my listening and speaking English both are not good. I don't know how to communicate with others in English. Maybe it's a challenge for me to finish it but I also think it's a chance to improve myself.

Today our topic is about water. Look at this word, then what do you think about? Who needs water? What is water used for? What are of some the main causes for water contamination and how to deal with water contamination and so on. There are what we dicussed at the class. We have a panel discussion, and because of this, we not only exercise our spoken English, we also come to a practical conclusion.For example: develop agricultural techonology, desalination and so on to clean water.
Besides of that, we also learned new words  and new syntactical structure.
new words: deplet, commodity , irrigation,  scarcity, peers and so on
new structure: the solution is to...

After the class of discussing the water resource I have improved my awareness of protecting water. Actually before the class I have never thought about the issues related to water, because I am not the one lack of water, but today I know if we don’t attach great
attention to the issue, we or our offerings may become out of water someday in the future, because water is a finite resource and it has no substitute!
I think the most useful thing we can do now as a college student is to try our best to save water in our daily life. For example we can turn off the tap when we don’t need it. What is more, we can also tell others around us to raise the awareness of saving water.

Today our topic is the water. The first thing I thought is hot water, Chinese can't live without it, because we think it's healthy. Through this class, I know more about water, water contamination, lack of water etc.
I also enjoy this class because of the group work, we share our thoughts with each other, maybe we have different opinions ,but that's ok, different people have different views on the same thing, and I think we will work better next time.

After six days of American life, I'm getting used to the jet lag. Though I still got sleepy in the morning, I can handle it. Adding today, we almost talk about Water and water issues for two days. Previously, I knew water plays a very important part in our daily life but I just don’t think highly of issues(like water contamination,shortage,low efficiency use) it have. Therefore, in John’s class I realized it is really high time that we should do something. We, young people should feel the responsibility for water use.

Like water issues, in our everyday life, there are many serious problems. They are hard to solve, hard to confront. They threaten us, scare us.Are we going to do nothing but wait for things to getting worse?NO! The world's most intelligent animals are human beings.It is never too late if we just take actions right now.

The main question in this lesson is the issue of water resources. Water is important to many things. Almost all of life on Earth can not be separated from water. The human’s agricultural production, industrial production, daily life, transportation, recreation and even energy development are all can't leave the water.
However, water is finite,and the problem of water shortage and water pollution in modern world is very serious. If there were 100 people on the world, then 13 people would have no clean,safe water to drink. Human pollution and water waste are important reasons for this phenomenon. But the shortage of water is not only for human reasons, but also for natural environment and weather. In the vast regions of northern Africa and western Asia, water resources are scarce because of geographical issues. A shortage of water would limit the country's development greatly, just as State of Qatar 60 years ago.
We discussed methods to solve these problems. For example, we can obtain freshwater resources by desalinating seawater and melting snow and ice. We can reduce the use of water in agriculture by improving agricultural irrigation technologies.We also can purify water with microorganisms. Meanwhile, besides technical methods, we should improve the protection of water resources through legislation and regulation.The government also should introduce policies to protective water. Of course, educating people to raise people's environmental awareness is also an important method.
If we hope the idea of a war between people for water scramble will not come true. If we want to get sustainable development.We must change the human's lifestyle.

The topic today is about water which is very charish for all mankind.But we usually take it for granted for we always think the lack of water will not be on us.However,this problem is going to us sooner or later if we use water sitll.in that way before.
The water problem may be caught by vast industral pollution, algrcultural reasons and so on.
I think the vital solution to the water problem is to build a series recycling mearues to save water or make water clean again.

These two video is mainly tell us water pollution situation in Chian.
And here are our solutions.
There are many reasons attribute to water pollution.One major reason is the industrial waste, the solution to this problem is that the government can establish strict laws to prevent the plants from letting out contamination,or ask them to process the waste to the safe level. Another problem is the waste from common residents, the most efficient way to solve this issue is to awake people’s awareness of water protecting, maybe we can organize some lectures in the community to ask citizens to protect water.

Group1
When it comes to water nowadays, we think about the critical global concern of water. So what can we do to solve this serious problem? Our group propose three solutions to deal with water depletions in some countries.

First of all, We should try to collect the water. take Karez for example. In Chinese ancient time, people living around the Xinjiang desert area because of the scarcity of water resources, in order to have a clean water storage, they created Karez, also known as canal, which built in various regions of the world, this is a kind of special irrigation system in desert area. Every year when the snow melted into the ground, people found the water at certain intervals after construction of many wells, and then according to the terrain height building through tunnel passage, can lead to water for irrigation, which eased people's demand for water in desert area.

Secondly, We can transport water from well-watered areas to water shortage areas. Take the south-to-north water project as an example. China for many years has been considering a south-to-north water project to move water from areas in the South which suffer from over-supply to large, thirsty, drought northern cities such as Beijing and Tianjin. Three routes are under consideration. Construction of the water diversion project will bring a huge improvement on the North’s economy, environment and social environment, economy and promote sustained development and stability of the national economy and society.

Thirdly, Water covers more than two-fifths of the Earth's surface. More than 97% of the Earth's water is in its oceans and fresh water represents less than 0.5% of the total water on Earth.
So we can turn seawater into fresh water by means of technology. Take Duha for example, the government of Duha encourage and give supports to technology development. Their country has advanced desalination technology. And because of that, they can use plenty of water even though their country is where with less rainfall. The process of desalination is complicated, but once we take steps to do it we’ll have less trouble in the future.

Here are my resources.

I really love the American way to study, cause everyone has his or her own saying chance, whatever you are introverted or extroverted, you need to have your own ideas, which means you become an independent-minded person.
With the lead of John, I started to care about the problem of water and food, we learn the fact from statistics and charts, we care about the water pollution and food safety and starvation.we know how to become a person with sustainable and global insights. Hope I will have this opinions forever and be a conprehensive person.

https://m.bilibili.com/video/av13388536.html

problem :the safty of food.
solutions:
1.the government should do something. Laws should be published toprotected the safety of food.Also there should be punishment to people who make harmful food.Furthermore, government should strengthen the supervison to protect the safety.
2. we can solve the problem is using technology, with the development of technology, we can track the source and check it more strictly so that if there happens some severe issues, we can track the source and prevent the similar problem next time.
3. publicizing laws and policies.Alert food producers should be severely punished for breaking the law. Besides of that, allow consumers to understand their authority and  enhance consumer awareness of maintaining their own benefit.

The first topic, water, I know, a large amount of people don't have access to clean water. At my living area, I don't lack of water. People usually don't cherish what they have until the moment they lost it. I saw a lot of people waste water seriously, especially at the public places. Because they don't need to pay for it. The same condition like electricity, water, paper, and so on. I just don't understand how could they do that? Does the reason is they don't have the awareness of saving water? I don't think so. We have been educated to save water since elementary school. Maybe they just don't want to practice it. So I think one of the possible solution is to let people improve their ability to control themselves and cultivate  their moral character.

Now, with economic development,         all sorts of problems follow, just contains food. To be live or to be die, that is a question. Now there are so many problems about food, just like the lack of food,  uneven distribution of food areas, food diatorbion and so on...So why there are so many problems  about that? Maybe inftastyucture, maybe  nongoverment, maybe lack of education and so on...But how can we deal with these problems? It is a question. Through the discussion  in our group, we thought about some solutions on technology, education, policys. What we can do is not so much, but we can do it from ourselves.

Same as the water problem, food waste is quiet horrible in China. Some people used to order many dishes at restaurants, though they can't eat out of them,  then just leave. Meanwhile, it is also a way of wasting money. The waste of food is  extreme on the dining-table. But recent years, this situation get better due to the policy of the president Xi Jin ping. But the amount of food being waste is still makes me feel worried. I feel pity for people who are starving. I hope one day everyone can be rational toward resource.

Today we learned about the topic of food. First time when I saw the the topic, I thought that it must be some things about all kinds of delicious food. But in fact, it's about some problems of food we are faced with. In class, we discussed about some of the food problems that we thought are the most important and tried to find the solutions to these problems in groups.
I learned that there are some events of starvation till now, and many elements result in it, such as a lack of food, wars, food pollution and so on. We are meeting with a serious food emergency. We need to take effective measures to solve the problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we talked about food. Also a Critical Global Concern. Though I knew this before, I hardly thought it seriously. Though I knew there're places lack of food, I'd never thought about what can I do to solve the problem.
On our paper, there has a question asked for how much money we spend on food for a month. Most of us gave a large number of money. It seems we have various kind of foods can choose and eat. But for the places that even don't have enough foods to feed themselves, I think we are a little extravagance.
We can feed ourselves and we have good education and that's our responsbility to give our help. And until today, I started thinking about the solutions for food problems.We need the policy, we need invest in infrastructure,we need technologies. And what surprise me is that nowdays technology, we may can made meat and feather! And after all, I think the most important thing is that we need more people aware of this problem.

We all know that food safety should be treated seriously. We eat food every day. To promise the quality of food, I believe that the government should take their responsibility. The first is legislation. They should establish an honest system and perfect legal regulation. It must be strict to produce food. The related department should check the food security frequently. When find some problem, punish them in different level according to their faults'condition. If the behavior is too horrible, quit their right to makes business about food. And when people meet food trouble, the government should provide them sufficient ways to protect them and deal with it in time and efficient.
Before eating food, we should clean it carefully. Buy it from legal places.  Raising our awareness of human rights. Then the food maker should use healthy additives and comply with their professional ethics.

In this class we talked about food. After some short group discussion about personal food question, we found some different vision about starvation, like nature disaster and pollution.

Then we watched a short video which showed a lot about starvation. I learnt that food lacking is more serious than I thought. The land is decreasing and the population is increasing. A lot of areas in the world, just like sub-Sahara Africa, it is really unfair, they still cannot be self-sufficient with food. Besides, it’s also a challenge to make sure the food is safe. So, many people die because of the food safety problem. More and more people move into the city cause farm decrease a lot. It’s necessary to find solution to face this terrible situation. In brief, investment technology and policy will play a role, it is not easy to be change.

At last, our group found a video about food safety. It is about rice problem in some countries. Through some investigation and compare, try to show us the horrible influence. We work together fruitfully.

When it comes to food, all I think about is those words like“delicious”,”tasty”,”palatable” which are full of happy feelings. These words keep popping into my mind even though there are problems about food safety. I don’t want to admit the fact but I know the food issues are getting more and more serious. Therefore, our group talk about food safety problems and try to do something to deal with the problems.
All members in our group proposed suggestions. We planed to solve the problem from four aspects. And when problem and solutions turned to be more clearer I felt a sense of accomplishment. I think the guys in my group are all very smart.I know sometimes I may don’t know enough about one problem and always make unpractical solutions. However, they all seem intelligent to make decisions and help me out.
So today, the most important thing is I feel the power of the team. Another rewarding day!

Food is important as water.I have never been worried about the lack of food. The scenes and data that were seen in the class really shook me.
Mentioned food, my favorite is hot pot.But today's topic is not this.
Our group focused on food safety. From four aspects of source, processing, production and diet, we talked about a lot of bad food, and suddenly we didn't want to eat lunch.
I was divided into the diet.Although I want to write about India used hand to eat, but not too good to search for vedio examples.Maybe I need to search for sth about eating habit....

We talk about food problem on the Friday. Our group discussed about the safety of the food. We think that problem of the food is a worldwide issues, and the safety problem is getting  worse now. Food safety is effecting everyone, so government should do something to make things better. First of all, there should have policy to protect the safety, and those who make  dangerous food must be punished. Also, it's very important to improve the technology, so that we can track the source of food to make sure it is safe. Anyway there are a lot we can do to change the situation, and I believe it will be better in the  near future.

Friday our topic was food. I have shocked by the Ted video and the 100 people video.

I think is horrible that humanbings kill other creatures in the  world in order to get things that we want. While the company using the technology to create the real skin and meats without killing an animal, it’s so impressive, and I think we need to spread this technic to the world then we can protect animals from being extinction.

The Ted has showed us the starving people in the world, it’s so unfair that our peers in the other place of the world starving while we are wasting our lunch. We set up NGO to help those people, at the meantime I also think our ordinary people need to respect our food and avoid wasting food.

Talking about food,it accurs me that the food safety issue in my country.
Every year,there are many kinds of food which are hamful to people appre in our market like illegal oil, pork,and so on. In the street which is close to our school there are several shops are pointed out that using illegal metiaral.
These are really terrifying because we eat.everyday.If,the,food cannot meet the standard,everyone's health is threatened
I think there are some solutions to.that problem.Frist of.all,the legislature should make more strict law or regulation for the food market.Then,the law enforcement should make tougher punishment to those who.dare to break the law.Besides the business should obey the law,to make safer food for the custom.

Food safety is a big problem, and our group will discuss it in four parts. They are food sources, food processing, food making process and habits. In every aspect, we have come up with specific measures to reduce food contamination and ensure food safety.

The first problem about food safety is the source. Where does the food material come from? Are they safe? The material is the first step, if it is unsafe at the first, not to mention the next steps. But sad to say, most food we used today is under industrial production. Take chicken production for an example, we all know there's many fast food restaurant in the world now, and most they provide hamburgers or hotdogs. And of course these restaurants need lots of chicken. Few days ago, KFC has been caught using chicken that only needs fourty-five days to grow up. The news shocked all of us. Here's a video talk about the safety of the chicken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe5CTjtAW70

We also use pesticides, fertilizers and so much chemical products when growing vegetables. And I suppose that it is certainly unsafe for us eating such food. It's reasonable that people use these way to producting foods. There are too many people in the world. We need to eat and for the business, they need to make profits. So in solving the problem, I think there're lots of thing that depend on the government to do. We need standards to ensure how much chemical products are able to use. We need to enact the law to punish the one who use too much chemical products for money. Otherwise, maybe we can give hope on technology development to create a way that can product safe and healthy food in large output.

Secondly, there are also a lot of problems in food processing, like using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process, adding toxic substances, excessive use of food additives, abusing of chemical additives and so on. American likes to eat raw food which may lead to headache and diarrhea. We think it’s not safe. Some food processing industry will add harmful additives to the food in China which cause lots of food safety problems.

There are a lot of causes for this problem, we think government should step up regulation, promise every step in the food production is safe and food processing industries should also take responsibility for the safety of food.                             https://www.bilibili.com/video/av8732756/?from=search&seid=13353871457309099381

And the third, food safety may be a problem in food making process. Take the production of Japanese sashimi for example. As we all know, Japanese sashimi are made of raw fish. However, eating raw fish and meat often cause disease.

Here is a news about the harm caused by eating raw fish

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4603614/Girl-8ft-6in-long-tapeworm-eating-sashimi.html

And here is an essay talked about the danger of eating raw fish http://www.nytimes.com/1981/09/30/garden/eating-raw-fish-the-dangers.html

Also, it is a vidio about eating raw fish when the fish is still alive

http://m.iqiyi.com/w_19rtn8hfhx.html

Therefore, maybe raw fish or meat are not good choices for people who want to live a healthy life. Eventhough they taste good, they have the risk of carring germs to which we should pay attention.

The last but not least, when it comes to food safety, most people will firstly think about factory processing and restaurant making the food aspects. In fact, maintaining good eating practice and habits is also the focus of food safety.

For example, before meals, washing hands, rinsing mouthpieces frequently, using fox or chopsticks and other clean tablewares at meals, rather than your hands like India, though it's their custom, it looks really bad for personal hygiene.

Video shows how to improve healthy eating habits, avoid eating and drinking too much, do not eat breakfast, and pay attention to the balance of nutrition to ensure our daily life.

In a word, we should improve the awareness of food safety, when shopping and dining should pay attention to the description of the food and developing good habits, it is important to adhere to.

today, homestay dad take me to his son's house to have fun with his son's neighbors. The super bowl is very nice. Our food is on the table, and anyone can eat it, either in the kitchen or in the yard. That reminds me of the food safety we discussed.  Avoiding eating and drinking too much is also a good habit we should keep. I'm full.

The reasons for the shortage of food are complex. There are many causes of food problems, such as war, backward agricultural technologies, overpopulation and natural disasters. Our group considered natural disasters as the main reasom of the decline in food output.

If we want to deal with the food issue, in addition to technical solutions, such as improving food production, we also need policy measures. For example, there must be a government that can deal with food issues in a timely and effective manner.
Food problems not only have shortages, but also quality problems. In response to the issue of food quality， firstly, the government should introduce laws and relevant government agencies must punish illegal activities strictly. Secondly, we must clarify the source of the food through the improvement of the technology to ensure that the responsibility can be implemented effectively. In addition, paying attention to the regulation of enterprises and illegal punishments is important.

Today our topic is about transportation. Traffic congestion is all over the world, but every region has its own problem and has its own solutions. The U.S. has AQMD and government revolutions to solve the problem. Besides that, they also have stricter pollution  standards on cars. But different from China, they made city more focus, not expand to the suburbs.

# data[].attributes.body
Taday is full of group study. In the morning we learned about the topic Transportation. To be honest, maybe this topic is indeed a little boring, but there is no doubt that it is significant.We talked about the transportation, traffic, carbon emission and so on in groups. To solve these problems, we need to develop urban greening and public transportation. Also we can use cleaning energy more.
After lunch, we had an independent study in groups. We watched the video together and shared own ideas with others.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we talked about transportation.No matter in China or American or other countries in the world, that's a big issue.In China, traffic congestion is terrible, so many people and cars crowded in the city,and people waste so much time on the transportation. In America, the instance from workplace to home spend too much money on the daily consumption. And the high speed driving causes a lot of car crashes.
Focus on the transportation problem, our group discussed about the solution. We thought government should take more responsibility for the situation. And people should change their mind to choose walk or bike to go out instead of driving a car.

# data[].attributes.body
Well,today we talked something about transportation, l think it was a little difficult but finally our group made some solutions about traffic jam. But after come to America, I made some comparison with China and got some conclusions.
While in China, we have traffic jams too, but we have more bicycles, electrombile and we walk more, but l think the number of car in China is less than America,but air pollution more than America, which is one thing we should think seriously. But all in all, l guess teacher John will love China cause we have really convenient transportation system.He can always walk to everywhere.That is all.Expectation for another day!

Following the development of human society, we are more dependent on traffic, it is totally influent our daily life. But to be honest, the traffic problem is getting worse. It not just limited to traffic congestion, but also cause energy issues, environmental pollution even the healthy problems.

The reality is that cars become to a necessary supporting in our daily life. A large number of people cost hours on their way to the office, plus the car can barely move because of the jam, the situation become more intolerable. More cars, the more energy they consume, the more pollution they cause.

However people use their cars to do everything, perhaps this is the inevitable result of the city becoming bigger, but we can’t ignore that it reduce the chances of people walking, the health situation is not optimistic. We should focus on that and solve as soon as possible.

How was my weekend? I just feel
time goes too fast.
Today we talk about transportation.To be honest, I do not like driving , it is dangerous for me.In the other hand, I have a lot of transportations for me to travel，not only cars，such as subway、bus and high speed rail.  Especially bike-sharing，it’s really a convenient way for me in my university. When I come to America, I think,wow! how  wide roads and many cars!

After that I just remember always sunday always sandwich always cars and highway,ok,it is just a joke.
In fact,It is hard for me to go other places without a car which is really a big problem not only in America.

# data[].attributes.body
With the development of the technic, more kinds of transportation come into our lives. It bring lots of convinitent to us, but it also bring some problems. For example, the pollution that the private cars bring to us. It's a important problem that need to be sovled. Besides that, more cars also cause much heavier traffic. Today my group talk about this satuation.Everyone mention fancy point about this drama, I realized there are so many ways to solve the problem.For us, walk as much as possible is the most effective way.It's much healthy and convince. If we need to go somewhere far away from home we can also use public transportion. Everyone sould do something to change traffic drama. I believe with our effects the traffic problem will get better!
