ISSUE 1) Environment:

The environment is in a lot of danger, things involving pollution are one of our main conserns! One of the things that we can do to help the environment is to place bills against distruction of animals habbitats, and find a way to stop gas leakes and oil spills in the ocean! The government should pass laws protecting the environment from being distructed anymore than it already did. We should find clean energy solutions and ways to conserve our nn-renewable reasources and find use for the renewable ones. W should install more renewable energy resources such as Solar panels, and wind turbines.

ISSUE 2) RIGHTS:

Everyone should have equal rights, wemon should be treated the same way as men should in things like the economy. In many jobs, men make more money than wemon do, also in places in the government people don't believe that wemon should be as high jobs as the presedent. Many other things such as sports people are very segrigated for, an example of this is basketball arenas, men have a huge arena to play there sport but wemn most of the time don't even have much more than a highschool arena. I think that the government should pass a law on everyone having equal rights in every job and in every thing that they do.

ISSUE 3) CHILDHOOD OBESITY:

Another main problem is childhood obesity. This could be a huge effect on our world because in the future when a child is over weight or over height this can cause serious health problems later down the road. Childhood obesity can cause things such as high blood preassure, diabetes, and high cholesteral. This can also lead to low self-esteem, and depression. Things that we could do to help with this is to increase the amount of daily excersize that kids get, also to improve the diets of kids!
