It looks like they picked an area with people of lower socioeconomic status in relation to other parts of the world. Why is water more limited in places like Kuwait as opposed to Canada? https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2071487556 2022-03-01 13:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2071487556 https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2071617636 If the scarcity of fresh drinking water around the world is becoming greater every year, wouldn't that result in higher water prices? The film talks about how desalination of water costs a lot of money to execute, resulting in higher water prices. If so, wouldn't the price of water rising be inevitable?]]> 2022-03-01 14:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2071617636 https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2071684672 Does race play a role in deciding which locations the government choses to work on environmentally?

One's current socioeconomic class (a result of historical racism and neglect of reforming law) is another large factor for environmental injustices toward certain racial groups. How do the indirect mediation of racism (socioeconomic class, for example) and environmental decisions directly based on racism compare in magnitudes of impact in the pollution these racial groups suffer from? https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2074495897 2022-03-02 22:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2074495897 https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2074653264 How long will it take to actually see a difference within the water or air afrffected?

Do they not care for the environment?  Why can’t companies find more sufficient areas to build their factories and find better ways of getting rid of the waste?

In terms of being used as an explanation to correlate pollution exposure to just the race of a person, when its about the location of where they live. It seems like an easy stretch to do in a way because race make a lot of societies views and is implemented in almost every aspect of life. And if so, what is the reason why certain races settle in specific areas, and looking further into aspects of education and wealth.]]> 2022-03-03 15:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bryceking2015/p4svsup076td79dh/wish/2076039448
