Water Crisis

Environmental Justice is when organisms on Earth use their environment in a way that equally sustains both life and the piece of the environment being used. For example, it would be using water to sustain life, but at the same time keeping water clean and healthy. However, humans have done a terrible job of keeping the Earth environmentally just. We have allowed greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide to emit at an extreme rate that has caused all kinds of problems such as global warming. This has indirectly affected many things, one of them being water. We have not kept water environmentally just because we have been letting it get worse and worse in quality. We already have only so much water to use, and because of us, that amount is constantly getting lower. Because of this, there are tons of water crises currently happening; one of the most well known being California. They are going through an intense drought that is indirectly affecting the rest of America (food wise). In order to prevent this and bring water crises to be environmentally just, the first step would be to stop and reverse the effects of global warming.
