This is horrible for any sea animal and is life threatening for all of them. Plastic gets stuck in their bodies and they cannot eat because there is too much plastic in their system. Every year, 100,000 sea animals die from plastic waste. The plastic gets stuck on them, which makes them struggle and fight for their lives. Just one plastic bag can kill multiple animals because it takes so long to disintegrate. I would like to see people using less plastic in their everyday lives and not only is it helping the environment, it is saving lives.]]> 2020-02-05 19:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441164745 24tnguyen1 https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441164857 Women have been fighting for there equality between men for 100 years.

However they are available for the public under many health insurance plans. even if health insurance is not an option they are free in some places. also one of the biggest issues is the infection of those who can't have vaccines.( chemotherapy, allergies, elderly, etc)

Were I see pedo's say that them being attracted to babies,toodlers,child,teens is like being gay etc. I see some people even starting to agree and push the phrase "age is just a number". So pedos have come out about being attractted to underage people. The thing is if someone has come out about being pedo they shouldn't be allowed near anyone underage or live near places with children.

70% percent of NFL players are African american they are fine with black players but there not good with Black coaches who can think and do the same things white coaches can.
This issue needs to be fixed.

(conversion therapy is when you turn someone apart of the lgbtq community and turn them "heterosexual" Utah is only the 19th state that banned conversion therapy. I find it crazy that 19 out of 50 states have banned conversion therapy. Forcing a children to go to therapy to change who they are is ridiculous. People who attend conversion therapy they have a high risk of committing suicide  or becoming depressed. Kids should be able to be who they are and not forced to be someone they aren't. It's honestly disgusting and the fact that this is a thing scares me. This is most definitely something that has to stay the same keep on banning conversion therapy until it's not even a thing anymore.

Animals should be able to live peaceful, not having to worry about being killed or having to find new homes ever time one gets taken way. We need to find a way to protect our animals from going extincted, it's not fair to the animals who are being killed for fun. Like Giant Pandas, they are going to go extinct due to habitat loss because they only eat bamboo . But we can prevent this by putting endangered species into zoos so they can be protected and the population would be able go grow back. ]]> 2020-02-05 19:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441167722 24jsanchez https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441167914 The racing community needs stronger safer guide lines.. In super car racing there a lot of things that can go very long. The main super sport races I will talk about are 24 hours of Daytona. So the 24 hours of Daytona this year which started on January 26 and ended on January 27 it had about 50 cars enter the race. The cars have to be heavily equipped with safety items. Some examples that cars already have are fire extinguisher bar cages. During the 24 hours of Daytona drivers had to race day and night in raining or scorching hot conditions. I wasn't awake for most of the race but during the race around 3:00 in the morning there was a car that 🤬 over and crashed into the tire barrier. Lucky the driver walked away. He survived because he has safety equipment in the car on the track and on himself. Though I think racing safety should also be for the fans to. Even though racetracks have nets on the side they should be stronger.]]> 2020-02-05 19:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441167914 24jcoppockhuegel https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/441169114 Gun laws should be stricter.  To many people that have access to guns aren't using them properly.

A big problem in the world. The environment is being destroyed by all the pollution. We all know pollution also has a big part to play after all it affects almost all of the world. It's destroying the glaciers and warming up the ocean surface. The Fish that live mostly around the surface of the ocean are used to cold waters not used to warm waters which means they have to swim lower, and they're not used to deep waters. Not only does global warming affect the food system but also they way people live. This is important because one day that global warming gets worse, we'll probably be there when everything is going to be messed up.

New York put a new rule out that every bench there is going to be put a bar so the homeless wont be able to have a place to sleep. This should be changed because its not fair that we get to come home to a bed and know that we have food provided for us and the homeless has nothing. Overall, im not saying its our fault that they are homeless or vise versa, but we can always still help even if its preparing a meal for them offering jobs if wanted, building shelters etc.

There have been a lot of super stars that have died of accidents. In this example I will be talking to you about driver safety. There have been a lot of deaths in the racing world. The legend Dale Earnhardt died from a crash on the last lap during the Daytona 500 in 2001. In 2018 a German girl driver wreck at the Macau racetrack. She went right through the fence and crashed into a bill board and a crane truck. But luckily she survived all thanks to safety that has come a long way from 2001. But there can still be improvements. At the the 2019 formula 2 grand prix a driver died from flipping over then mashing into a concert wall. I think that there should be no concert barries or walls they should be cushioned better. Some also areas were safety can be improve can be near the safety net. Sure they block cars from hitting people. But they dont stop from parts of the car from hitting people in the head. So im challanging for racin safety to be fix. ]]> 2020-02-11 19:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/443941444 24mcapozzolo https://padlet.com/ltrang/melitaperiod9/wish/443977303 Many of organizations are letting animals go extinct.
