    South Sudan’s Water Story Water is a necessity for all, yet only a limited amount of people have access to water in South Sudan. Even in that limited amount of people, a fraction of them have access to potable water. Only nineteen countries in Africa are estimated to meet the Millennium Development Goals (Saliu). Oftentimes, the people of South Sudan are forced to consume contaminated water thus this water and sanitation crisis consequently resulted in 400,000 water-related deaths in Africa (Saliu).

    The residents of Louisiana are still recovering from what has been called the greatest natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy: a flood causing considerable damage to the region in this August 2016. It’s true that a large portion of Louisiana is made up of lowlands prone to flooding, but this instance was particularly noteworthy because of the power of the weather and the magnitude of water deposited. The floodwaters beat record highs by as much as 5 feet in some areas, and thousands of people were left without homes. The recovery period is not expected to be quick, as Louisiana’s geography does not allow for easy drainage. Louisiana’s population will be feeling the effects of the flood for a long time to come.…

    Due to the collective overuse of fossil fuels, climate change is happening at an unsettling rate. Additionally, because of climate change, coastal areas have been enduring major flooding. For example, Baton Rouge, Louisiana was recently hit with one of the most severe flooding disasters since Hurricane Sandy. However, because of Louisiana’s high rate of natural disaster, many people outside of the state have an unfair presumptive outlook on the citizens as well as the state itself. For instance, non-residents are thinking that the majority of its population wants to leave, and that the state is a lost-cause.…

I decided to write on oil spills in Niger Delta region of Nigeria because it affects the poor and vulnerable populations who are unable to confront the multinational oil companies and government who are benefiting from the proceeds of oil exploration.
