"If this never stops, I can predict what will happen in the next five or 10 years. Developed countries that continuously enjoy competition for power among themselves will forget about smaller, vulnerable countries like Kiribati who will suffer the consequences of their greed for power." 

This is a reminder that our every day actions as consumers have a large impact across the world. What ethical obligations does the developed world have to the developing world?]]> 2019-04-15 18:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/351771459 Miah Gray https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/351995996 http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170412-is-the-world-running-out-of-fresh-water

"Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8 billion people."

"As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people—they are exposed to diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne illnesses. Two million people, mostly children, die each year from diarrheal diseases alone."]]> 2019-04-16 15:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352012550 Opal https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352012626  https://www.wri.org/blog/2017/08/7-reasons-were-facing-global-water-crisis
"At the same time, clouds are moving away from the equator toward the poles, due to a climate-change driven phenomenon called Hadley Cell expansion. This deprives equatorial regions like sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central America of life-giving rainwater." I never knew that was a factor in creating drought.

Floods, landslides, tsunamis, storms, heat waves, cold spells, droughts and waterborne disease outbreaks are all becoming more frequent and more intense.

I never realized that almost all natural disasters manifest through water

Today, 1 in 9 people lack access to safe water and 1 in 3 people lack access to a toilet. We can change this.

"Humanity is facing a growing challenge of too much water in some places and not enough water in others. This is being driven not just by climate change, but by population and economic growth and poor water management, experts warn."

"Due to geography, climate, engineering, regulation, and competition for resources, some regions seem relatively flush with freshwater, while others face drought and debilitating pollution. In much of the developing world, clean water is either hard to come by or a commodity that requires laborious work or significant currency to obtain."]]> 2019-04-18 17:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352631527 Tannen Ontiveros https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352659904 2019-04-18 19:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352659904 caden cervi https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352660567 There is the same amount of freshwater on earth as there always has been, but the population has exploded, leaving the world's water resources in crisis.]]> 2019-04-18 19:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352660567 i agree those resorses are prettttttttty nicemate https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352660793 2019-04-18 19:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bscritch/ewjh8sgpl2d7/wish/352660793
