For this week’s reflection, we turn our attention to global resources regarding food and water shortages.
Write a Journal Reflection 500-600 words long answering two questions (250-300 words each answer):
- Should governments be concerned that food and water shortages are imminent?
- Should the global community consider food and water shortages into their everyday lives? Is this something you’d be willing to do, and how?
