Water is something that most of us take for granted in this country, but it is a limited resource and we should not be wasteful of it. Some parts of the U.S. have been suffering from droughts for a number of years and many people have had to deal with water rationing. One of the problems is that we move to areas with low water resources and then try to do landscaping that requires a lot of water. Another thing we do is plant crops that take a large amount of space and water, removing the area from possible use for more practical crops. An example of this is almond growing.

Out of all the different current environmental issues that we have. I decided to pick overpopulation. Overpopulation is a never-ending human tragedy that has been causing all sorts of environmental issues. Such as: Water pollution, resources crisis, gender imbalance, pollution, land pollution and more. One of the biggest tragedies that we are having is technology. Yes technology is great because it has the ability to save lives and have better medical treatments, but it also bad because have the time people are staying at their phones throughout their days. I think we have become worse and human communication and contact then when we had nothing and were forced to talk to people face to face. With all this population there has been an increase in deaths more than ever, immigration which is not good. We canât afford to help everyone that decides to come from one country to another. One thing that I have learned is Acid Rain. I have heard it before but never really understood it. It is basically rain that is acidic from the atmosphere from cars or industrial processes. Honestly Iâm not sure what we can do and help but we are overpopulated and itâs everyone and everything around us.
