Top 5 Solutions

1) Oil Dependence Solution: By using more solar, wind, water and electric means of power our dependence on oil would reduce.

2) Global Warming Solution: Reduce factory emissions and increase the number of electric or hybrid cars on the road, thereby decreasing the amount of pollutants entering the atmosphere

3) Racism Solution: First of all, those within the justice system who exercise prejudice, from police officers to judges, should be held accountable instead of having their actions covered up. A civilian “jury” of some sort should be able to look at the merits of each case and decide upon innocence or guilt, as well as appropriate actions to be taken if necessary. Worldwide the best we can do is to educate children to appreciate diversity so that future generations will not experience racism.

4) Water Crisis Solution: Much of the solution comes from reducing the amount of pollution created, from less plastic to less CO2 emissions. While it will be a long process to bring polluted waters back to where they should be, it is doable if we get a handle on it.

5) Poverty Solution: Better education and better jobs. 

Justification:

            Considering how short of a time humans can live without water, clean water is a necessity, not a choice. Not only that, water which carries diseases causes so many deaths every year! I debated between poverty and water as the biggest issues since poverty is often the cause of having access to bad water and no food, but have to acknowledge that water is an issue even in the richest of countries.

            Many countries are making changes to use solar, wind and water to create electricity, and electric cars are already becoming more prevalent. This solution would be the easiest to implement because it is already becoming a reality, it simply requires a bigger push then is already being given.
