Water supply

April 25th, 2014 in Flint, Michigan the city switched its water supply. When switching the water supply, lead and debris began to seep into the drinking water.

had thought about it. That is an example of global warming. It wasn’t just my confirmation bias at work; it was real. My time on this earth has been far shorter than my father’s, yet one can still observe climate change on this earth over the course of a decade or two, even if the overall results are diminished. So in my time of remembering playing in the Michigan snow from age six to eighteen, I was in fact able to observe a mellowing of the winter’s intensity. The Southwest United States…

Clean water and healthy nutrition are not accessible to poor countries, which makes people living in these poor countries susceptible to acquiring infections and diseases. The video also touches…
