TEAM: Research and find the most recent article/text that talks  about environmental issues in California or anywhere in the United States,  Post the article on your board,

(Each Team members will)   

1. summarize what the issue is,

2. explain why is it a problem,

3. discuss what are the possible solutions, and

4. suggest what can we (Or you specifically) do about it?                    

 Write your name when you write your response on your team's wall.                                         

2. It is a problem because it affects the environment, people, and nature. 

3. The possible solutions to this problem is to cut things that produce a lot of air pollution like factories and electrical vehicles.

4. Help spread the word about it and help with anything.

1. Yosemite National Park's river streambeds have been covered with New Zealand's mud snail. Forest pests are another threat as they leech off host plant matter. Didymo, an algae, threatens Yosemite's rivers with blooms, harming plant and animal species.

2. Invasive species can cause mayhem in an ecosystem destabilizing it in the process. All ecosystems are fragile and the introduction of a foreign anomaly can tip the scales threating the livelihood of all domestic inhabitants.

3. The National Park Service is combatting the threat applying methods of include prevention, inventory/early detection, prioritization, treatment, monitoring, and educational outreach.

4. As far as what the average person can do to help combat invasive species is by not letting pets into our ecosystems or tampering with the ecosystem entirely. Also reaching out to communities near the ecosystem & its visitors and educating them of the hazards to further prevent or stall foreign invasion.

2. This is a problem as many snails are populating the area Altering the ecosystem  since they invade the rivers, they can ruin the food chain and cause huge problems for other animals in this area.

3. To prevent these snails to move into other areas we can check all of our gear to see if we can any snails on us, (Boots, boats, water, gear etc.)

4. One thing we can do is spread the message around to other national parks about these snails and see what measures they take against these snails that are effective and non threatening to the parks.

2: It's a problem since it dangers the wildlife around us and it dangers our safety as well.

3: Possible solutions include reducing fossil fuel consumption and switching to greener and more renewable energy and overall having a healthier way of living.

4: I cut out most if not all fossil fuel consumption by walking everywhere. I can also convince others (who have the means of doing so) the same way.

1. San Joaquin Valley is one of the cities with poorest air quality in the U.S.

In which pollution from vehicles, agriculture, and industry causes the problem and geographic and weather conditions trap pollutants.

2. It's a problem because poor air quality leads to serious and long term health risks such as respiratory issues like asthma, especially in children. Not only that, it affects overall quality of life.

3. Some possible solutions can be to reduce emissions by promoting cleaner transportation options, stricter rules to both agricultural and industrial pollution, invest in technology to monitor and potentially improve air quality.

4. I can use public transportation more, support clean energy initiatives and raise awareness about the importance of air quality.

2. The reason why Overpopulation has been a threat it's due to their supplies not being limited.

3. One way to solve this is if we limited the food and the water that we drink.

4. One thing I can do it not waster the food that I eat and not eat to much.

1.  California’s biodiversity is in threat this is more due to the fact of habitat loss and conversion. This causes problems because it affects the living species/animals on earth.

2. The problem with california’s biodiversity is that it is affecting the species due to problems with the habitat loss and conversion, and also climate change. It is also ebing impacted by invasive species which this is a problem .

3. Possible solutions that can help the biodiversity is to make areas that are protected by the government, this would be good because habitat loss wouldn't happen in that area and the species would be safe located there. People shouldnt be able to interact with the living environment of a specie because it could affect them and change how they are. The environment could also get dirty which is why a protected area would be a good idea.

4. We can plant trees or grow plants to try and restore the biodiversity and help out around to try and keep the city clean

2. It's a problem because we don't have enough land for people or homes and we don't have enough rescources.

   
   

3. A solution would be to gather as a community and volunteer to plant trees and clean up parks so we can have more clean oxygen.

4. More people should try to volunteer and find ways to make our environment better for all the people.

2.Because it effects people,homes, areas,money.

3.keep firer hydrant checked.

4.others can recheck it .
