https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo How can we help to conserve our recourses, and how can we help to inform others on the issue of waning recourses? en-us 2018-02-21 17:30:12 UTC 2023-10-19 16:44:10 UTC hello@padlet.com kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/233872213 How much water do you think you use a day? Take that and double it. Recent research done in California and other states shows that most people use double the water they think they do. Today there are many solutions to conserving water, but many states and countries are still neglecting to try or test these new solutions. One water saver is low filled toilets. You may not know it but every time you flush your toilet you are using roughly 3.5 gallons of water! Now there are low filled toilets that use about 1.3 gallons per flush, just switching to small things like this could be the simple solution many overpopulated places need]]> 2018-02-21 17:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/233872213 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/234796871 As states and county’s get busier and busier our recourses run shorter and shorter. There are so many simple solutions that can save our recourses! I already mentioned low filled toilets, but there are so many more! You can car pool or ride your bike to nearby places. You can shorten your showers, you can do so many things to conserve recourses!

Not all of these are things you can incorporate into your everyday life, but there are some interesting things that I think would be great if we could add them to our community.]]> 2018-02-23 17:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/234814003 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/235505570 2018-02-26 17:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/235505570 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/235511420 This article is one of the coolest things I’ve ever read! In at least one part of the world there is a storm going on right now. Imagine how much lightning strikes in just one day, now imagine how much energy that is! Well scientists have come up with new ways to take that energy convert and transfer it. Scientists are also trying to work up a efficient system of storing the energy, so that in the future we will still have plenty of energy just in case]]> 2018-02-26 17:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/235511420 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/236534846 While I was reading this I was so shocked at how people could be so selfish. Wealthy people in Southern California are refusing to conserve water just because they “can afford the droughts”. It was truly disheartening to read this because people still lack to understand the seriousness of saving our recourses! I hope that other audiences that read this think about their recourse usage. I can also only hope that these people choose to change their ways.]]> 2018-02-28 17:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/236534846 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/236542573 This article is all about new mandatory water usage in Sierra Nevada. Whenever I read this I was applauding the governors decision, but at the same time I was thinking how I would feel if the law affected me. In this article the governor passes a law that requires you to only be able to use a certain amount of water monthly. How would you feel if this law was passed where you live?]]> 2018-02-28 17:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/236542573 kate_burke https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/237035151 This is a chart made in 2016 of the water usage in California compared to the water usage world wide. Whenever I saw this I was pretty disappointed in the ways that the people in San Diego chose to use their water , compared to the way we use it worldwide

It is interesting to me how other countries priorities is mainly food, whereas ours and other high income places aren’t. What do you think?

I have always had a little bit of general knowledge on the fact that we our slowly running out of resources. I am so happy that I did this topic because I want everyone to be informed on the fact that we need to keep conserving. I now know so much new information about our environment and I know all of the areas in our environment that need the most help with recourses. As well as the places that are doing great! I hope that I can keep learning and informing]]> 2018-03-08 17:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kate_burke/6acm8t5ydbbo/wish/239778868
