Week 6: Water, Oceans, Rivers, And Food Discussion

Because we are short on time, we'll be combining the Water and Oceans, Rivers, and Food Modules this week.  In reality, each of these topics can fill a full semester.  For this week we'll be having a discussion.  Each student will find one a) peer-reviewed research study, b) a current news article that is about water, oceans, or river issues globally, and c) watch Netflix's Explained: World’s water crisis, PBS – Farm to Faucet, Patagonia – The Monster in our closet, or any any of the TED Talk videos, Patagonia Artifishial or Netflix's Cultivating the Seas videos in the Oceans and Rivers Module.  You can mix articles and videos from different modules if you like. Look for articles that relate to water issues globally that may relate to agricultural issues, ocean health, human or animal health and disease, famine/hunger, climate change, or many other issues that correlate to this course. 

For this discussion provide the name of the articles, the authors, and journal/magazine/video producers that you read/watched and how the information relates to global health.  Is there anything you can do on a local level to help reduce water use? FYI: the answer is yes, there is a lot you can do, list at least three changes you can make. Review the Seafood Watch flyer (Module 6) and discuss what fish you consume and if they are on the safe list.  If you're not a fish consumer, think about how you can incorporate fish occasionally to reduce consumption of larger land animals (unless you're a vegetarian or vegan).  If you are a vegetarian or vegan, list the nutrients fish provide, that will be void in a vegetarian or vegan diet, and the health issues that may arise from the lack of such nutrients.  If the authors of articles/videos give suggestions on how to improve the situation globally, discuss that as well.  If you have any further ideas, tell me about them.  The world is suffering from many water, ocean, and river issues globally, you'll have no problem finding articles.
