By simply describing what is happening to the Colorado river we do not feel a personal connection while if the river is 'talking' it appeals more to the viewers emotional side. The first person did not really surprise me but it was a little weird because it seems a little bit naïve or childlike. Ethical implications of describing personhood to water would mean that we must value a river the same as human lives which is obviously not the case.]]> 2020-11-19 18:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/mufjpe4futl4sahf/wish/942944415 srzadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/mufjpe4futl4sahf/wish/942965006 The green grass, animals and trees around campus, I think I may take somewhat for granted. I also take for granted the water that I use every day. In all honesty I use way too much water, taking showers, washing hands, using the restroom, etc. I believe that my drinking water comes from the Colorado river I think that most of the drinking water used in AZ, CA, and CO comes from the Colorado river which is being drained at a substantial rate. I think that the technology used for extracting water from the Colorado river can be seen as a great success or great failure. It is a success because the technology uses the natural resource of the river in order to supply life to four states while also extracting insane amounts of energy through dams, specifically the hoover dam. But on the other hand all this technology pollutes and drains the river which can be seen as a huge failure.]]> 2020-11-19 19:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/mufjpe4futl4sahf/wish/942965006 srzadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/mufjpe4futl4sahf/wish/943004639 In all honesty, I dont think much would change if the river ended in CA rather than Mexico I am not sure if anything would change. In this case, the US would just use more water than they are now since they are not bound to leave the river for Mexico. What I mean by this is that I still think that the river would be dying and action still would need to be taken in order to save the river.]]> 2020-11-19 19:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/mufjpe4futl4sahf/wish/943004639
