I thought that bees were mostly used to make honey and would sting people if they bother them, but they do have a much more important role in our food supply. According to this article, one-third of our human diet is from plants that need pollination from bees, which is a significant amount. It's unfortunate that we realize their importance when they start disappearing because people just assume that bees won't ever be in danger since there were always a lot of them around.

This article was helpful because it reminded me of how the water shortage not only affects our personal lives, but also our public lives that may not seem as important. Water is needed in basically everything like making clothes, food, medicine, and energy.

The BLM workers kept saying that they were managing the horses, but I don't think that's true because the number of horses have decreased since they started fencing in the wild horses.

It is scary to think that in the future we may be restricted to a certain amount of water every month/year. I hope we will all begin to be more attentive when using our natural resources.

I hope the new labeling campaign will reassure us and do a trustworthy job on testing GMO presence in foods. I've had doubts about foods labeled organic because it just seems like the company wants more business.
