Do not pick your own response. You must agree or disagree, with the statement or simply answer the question. eboyce8 https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/795644209 1. “I don’t see how this could be a sign of racism so maybe I need some clarifying on that.”


2. “When dr. Wojchik said by 2025, we are going to see a lot of heat waves. It made me think what we gotta do to fix that?”

3. "The heat of racism and of temperature. To have both those at the same time, in a global pandemic: It is an ugly, ugly moment. But I think — I hope — it is causing a reopening, as well." ‘I have heard something very similar to this like the real pandemic is the racism that the black community and  people of color are faced with.’

4. “A local food expert saw that stands of fruit trees were abundant in neighborhoods where whites-only covenants had been common.” reminds me of the white area in the heights because the buildings are much nicer and the area is much cleaner.

5. "I’m really wondering about the point where they said that the heat will continue to spread. I know that the extent will be around 90 degrees some days, but will that only be specific to places with this sort of heat?"

6. “Today, researchers think of the
heat island as more of an
archipelago: In any city, hot spots
appear where concrete and asphalt
prevail, while cool zones emerge
around trees, parks or other open
space.” I would like this part
explained further.

7. “Covenants were in use until 1968,
when the Fair Housing Act made
the practice illegal.” What exactly is
the fair housing act? And how did
this connect to making the practice
illegal?

8. “One thing that stood out to me from the reading was that air quality is often poor when temperatures are higher, leading to more pollution-related illnesses because that is very important and that affects people.”

Only thing we can do now is prepare for the oncoming heat wave, and prevent other events such as this from happening again by unifying and by overall being more planet friendly.]]> 2020-10-02 12:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797417786 Anthony Lucas https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797442892 Question five, My answer: It's not only is a specific places, it's where they don't have enough tree to grow and the center of the city because in the text it say 'Minnesota, is a historical center of Black life in the city. It's also one of the city's hottest neighborhood s'.

In the heights there is a white area that is much nicer and not much diversity. There is also a Hospital around there and it is such a difference from where most Hispanics/Latinos live.]]> 2020-10-02 13:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797448780 Hilary Farias https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797452557 In statement 7 asked what the Fair Housing Act is , it protects people from discrimination when buying or renting a home, getting mortage etc ]]> 2020-10-02 13:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797452557 Giovanni Gil Sosa ggilsosa3474 https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797489696 In Statement 8 - Higher Temperature Dry's up the area leaving it very dry and leaving the air less cool and moist which makes it hard for others to breathe if they are struggling with that problem. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797489696 Shania Alvarez Perez https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797514983 In response to Statement 3: 

This statement is summed up in the most accurate that I've heard. It is a very difficult moment in time for a lot of Black and POC in America, especially in the midst of this pandemic, which has seemed to bring out the worst in people. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797514983 Jadine Anderson https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797516530 In statement 7- The Fair Housing Act was supposed to protect people from discrimination when they're out trying to get a home.]]> 2020-10-02 13:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797516530 Maximo Martinez https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797517444 to add onto claim 7. it made it ilegal because the government, banks and other entities realized that these people had worst living conditions. i would also like to add that because it was ilegal it does not mean that it stopped. un 2018 a bank was actively blocking people that resided in black comunities from taking loans ]]> 2020-10-02 13:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797517444 Alijah Brodie https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797518599 In response to statement 7]]> 2020-10-02 13:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797518599 https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797523582 Kevin Carino

In statement 5 I also thought the same thing, but the main causes of heat rising is because of greenhouse gases and because of that it causes global warming]]> 2020-10-02 13:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797523582 Gianna Diaz https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797548830 I agree and share the same concern as presented in statement number 2. As our heat increases, I always think what can I or simply everyone in our community do to help with this rapid climate change. Is a serious problem but it seems like we have no to little time to help it. Some people believe it’s a lie but science shows other wise. If any action to help our global climate needs happen, it should be now! ]]> 2020-10-02 13:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797548830 Dekoi Gordon dgordon6462 https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797598096 Statement 8 talks about how the air quality decreases when the temperature rises, this happens because the environment dries up due to the extreme heat, less moisture in the air results in the increase of pollution-related illnesses.]]> 2020-10-02 13:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eboyce8/fh828c47gdlzpi4t/wish/797598096
