After researching the effects of dirty drinking water, I now have the following question: What can be done to help people have better access to clean water?

Mrs. Lucin

I plan on contacting famous athletes and Sports Teams to help sponsor poor towns, host fundraising events and prepare Public Service Announcements to raise awareness about the dangers of unclean drinking water and the need to provide clean water for all.

Why do people use clean water for taking showers because i just don't know what they use it for?

Alondra

alondral28 — 2020-05-07 16:56:36 UTC

we use water to drink it take a shower or a bath. If the water in to dirty water we would all die from it that's why we need to be careful of cleaning the water

2020-05-07 17:08:28 UTC

one of the questions I have is how does therapy help with depression

- What can we do the help people stop habitat destruction?

fionaw26 — 2020-05-07 17:08:58 UTC

- How many trees get cut down each year?
- How much does it affect the animals and plants?

My questions are...
-Which kind of area's are destroying habitats
-Why are people destroying habitats
-Are animals only dying from habitat destructions or are humans too?

Genevib

genevib12 — 2020-05-07 17:14:11 UTC

One of the symptoms of the Coronavirus is that you can have trouble breathing.People can go outside by social distancing by wearing gloves and masks.It's easier for people that are older to get extremely sick from the coronavirus because if they get Covid theres a higher chance of them getting serious complications from covid-19.

Are animals only dying from b=habitat destructions or are humans too?
Habitat loss is perhaps the greatest threat to organisms and biodiversity.
Why are poeple destroying habitats?
Habitat destruction through human activity is mainly for the purpose of harvesting natural resources for industrial production and urbanization.
Which kind of area's are destroying habitat's?
Habitat destruction occurs when natural habitats are no longer able to support the species present, resulting in the displacement or destruction of its biodiversity. Examples include harvesting fossil fuels, deforestation, dredging rivers, bottom trawling, urbanization, filling in wetlands and mowing fields.

Jacob Cordero Type 1 Diabetes

jacobc181 — 2020-05-08 15:24:23 UTC

The problem I am passionate about is type 1 diabetes. I see how much my sister struggles to live as a diabetic and I hope we can find a cure one day. I want to find out more about this problem by doing research and getting more information on how we can find a way to cure it.

Jacob Cordero

jacobc181 — 2020-05-08 15:29:56 UTC

My solution to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes is to start a lemonade stand to raise money for scientists currently researching a cure.

Jacob Cordero

jacobc181 — 2020-05-08 15:34:04 UTC

I will use flipgrid or Google Slides to make a presentation to share my project.

I want to know the following:

Does it hurt to get stabbed by a needle when you get injected with insulin?

Does a seizure affect your memory?

How do you get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?

When a diabetic gets an insulin injection, is the insulin from humans or animals?

Jacob Cordero

jacobc181 — 2020-05-08 18:01:56 UTC

After researching about type 1 diabetes, I want to understand what makes a person's beta cells attack its own pancreas?

Jacob Cordero

jacobc181 — 2020-05-08 18:17:50 UTC

No one knows for sure what starts a person having type 1 diabetes. It is autoimmune which means the problem starts with the white blood cells. They are supposed to protect your body and only fight against diseases. But autoimmune means the white blood cells messed up. They started attacking a healthy part of the body instead. For type 1 diabetes, the pancreas gets attacked. This means the pancreas can never produce insulin again. When a person with type 1 diabetes eats, there is no insulin to help the sugars get broken down for energy. So either there's too much sugar in the blood, or not enough sugar. In both cases a person can get very sick or die. So they need to test their blood many times a day and take insulin from a needle or a pump. It is very hard to live with type 1 diabetes because so many things can affect the blood sugar level. That's why we need a cure for these people.

Questions for my topic:

-What ages do depression usually take affect on?

-What does therapy do to help stop depression?

-Do pills really help?

-Why does depression make people do self harm?

-Can babies get depression?

Anna

2020-05-11 16:32:48 UTC

How can we stop people from destroying the habitats around the world?

Ariana

arianad66 — 2020-05-11 16:34:29 UTC

my topic is about depression. I want to focus on this topic because, there are a lot of people in the world who take their lives or do self harm because of depression, and it hurts to see other people sad. I just want to see everybody happy :)

-Usually, depression starts around the age of 18 or 17.

-Therapy can help improve symptoms of many mental health conditions. In therapy, people also learn to cope with symptoms that may not respond to treatment right away.

-Yes, depression pills do work. Antidepressants work by balancing chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters that affect mood and emotions.

-People self harm during depression because they either feel very self-destructive, it helps them cope with anger, or they do it to cope with past abuse.

-No, babies do not tend to get depression because they have nothing to be depressed about at all. This doesn’t mean they are always happy it’s just they do tend to get depression.

1. We should stop killing the animals who are becoming extinct
2. Not cutting down trees
3. Not polluting the air
4. Not performing ways to prevent fires

Ariana

arianad66 — 2020-05-11 16:49:42 UTC

After researching depression, I want to know: “What’s the main cause of depression?”

-Answers for my questions

fionaw26 — 2020-05-11 16:52:45 UTC

-Help reduce pollution that can damage wildlife and habitat. Before building on your property, learn about the natural habitat that may be impacted. There may be options to modify your project in order to better protect sensitive ecosystems on your land, and allow you to enjoy the wildlife that lives there.

-As for how many trees are cut down each year, IntactForests.org concludes that intact forest landscapes from 2000-2013 were reduced globally by 70,000 square kilometers per year (about the size of Costa Rica) for a total of 919,000 square kilometers. As to the “number of trees” this represents, it’s impossible to get an accurate count. Tree density in primary forests varies from 50,000-100,000 trees per square km, so the math would put this number at 3.5 billion to 7 billion trees cut down each year.

-The primary effect of habitat destruction is a reduction in biodiversity, which refers to the variety and abundance of different species of animals and plants in a particular setting. When an animal loses the natural home or habitat that it needs to survive, its numbers decline rapidly, and it moves toward extinction.

Ariana

arianad66 — 2020-05-11 16:53:58 UTC

1. We should stop bulling people.

2. Parents should stop physical and mental abuse.

3. Some people should stop being toxic.

4. We should look out for the people who are depressed so they know they have somebody they can express their feelings too.

5. People should be nicer to others.

Fiona

fionaw26 — 2020-05-11 16:56:23 UTC

I want to know how long has habitat destruction been happening in our world.

Fiona

fionaw26 — 2020-05-11 17:00:50 UTC

-We should stop destroying forests for building cities.
-We should stop pollution so the animals don't die.
-We should stop taking down trees for buildings and destroying animals homes.
-We should reduce the amount of poaching animals so they can live happily in the wild.

How people can use the 3 R. Reduce Re-use and Recycle.

Why it is important to do recycling?

How people can start taking care of the planet?

Anderson Umanzor

2020-05-11 18:44:17 UTC

recycling is important so that aquatic animals dont  die. and we can start recycling things like the bags and bottles of water. we have to stop contaminating the planet if we dont do it we dont going to have where to live.

anderson

2020-05-11 19:25:54 UTC

what is contamination?
how we can stop extinction of humans ?
how to protect animals?
why humans are destroying thing that are more important than anything?

mi solutions is to people stop throwing trash in to the Water because many animals can die and we don't have food

we should start saying at home more and not go outside as often and if we go outside then we should start to social distance.
