It has finally caught up to us and we got ourselves deeply into a drought. However with the cut down of water use through laws, we are no longer in that condition

Desertification can be caused by global warming. The increasing heat drys up land  once suitable for farmland and everyday life.

About 1.4 billion pounds of trash enters the ocean per year. Most of that trash gets eaten by marine animals which is mistaken for food. 100,000 sea mammals and 1 million seabirds get killed every year.

In california, Los angles, Fresno, and Bakersfield are ranked in the top ten. Fresno suffers from a trifecta of traffic, sunshine, and agriculture. The ALA says, "breathing pollution near busy roads may not only worsen diseases over time, but also increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and COPD." Also, the region of San Joaquin ranks amoung the worst for ozone and short-term particles (2nd and 4th).

This is because the number of births in a year is far greater than the number of deaths in a year. This could be prevented if everyone, or at least most people, were only allowed to have 2 kids. This would keep the population under control because the 2 kids would replace the 2 parents, with no extra kids to add to the population over time.
