Top 5 World Problems

1) Global Warming
2) Pollution
3) Starvation
4) War
5) Poverty

Solutions
1) Implementing more laws about littering and just caring more about our environment. Refraining from throwing things where they don't belong and letting out harmful things out into our environment
2) Going green such as using reusable resources for energy and finding different modes of transportation
3) More stable governments and with more generosity from the people who have more than enough
4) People could give more and take less, for example donating. It would make a huge difference if we weren't so selfish
5) A simple solution would just be for countries to make amends with each other and promote world peace

I selected my top-problem as Global Warming because it doesn't just affect a specific population it affects every single human being on this planet everyday. Even if people do not believe it and keep contributing to this problem, it is still happening and ruining our planet more and more each day.
I also think that my top solution is the most implementable because with petitions and more convincing we can create more laws about littering to help reduce pollution. People will feel obligated since there could be consequences for their stupid and selfish acts towards our environment.

  1. Global warming was my top issue as well. War was in my top 10 but did not meet my top 5 I also had pollution and povery ( mainly the homeless ) in my top 5. Great minds think alike!!

  2. Hi Isabella. We also had very similar lists. I combined global warming and pollution into one item though, and I focused poverty on the homeless specifically. I also had a problem similar to war, but more along on the lines of its effects in the refugee crisis. I think your solution to war is a little off. Right there really aren't any countries at war with each other (except North and South Korea, and they aren't really actively fighting), most of the fighting is internal like civil wars or some religious or cultural minority fighting against the group that is in power. Here's a link to my post http://thegarrick.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-5-world-problems.html?m=1

  3. Isabella,

    I like how we both took the same overall approach to our problems. At the top, I also put the ones that affect everyone, if not, a good majority of the world. Climate change/global warming was at the top of my list as well. I kind of merged some of your problems into one so they’re also on there. I then went on to put social/economic problems at the end of the list. As for my solutions, I had put climate change near the top because I too, think it is feasible to reverse something that we, as humans, have destroyed ourselves.

    Overall, good job. Here is my post if you want to check it out:
