REFLECTION QUESTION
Basic Needs & Security

What did you watch, and what was the most important thing you learned in the documentaries you watched? How does what you learned connect to your understanding of climate change and Earth Month?
Shannon Hunter 4/09/2023 4:29 AM
Documentary was about decentralized and mobile water systems that emulate natural processes. This utilizes water vapor to create drinkable water which is needed in water scarce areas and can also be used to create electricity.

Reversing the effects of climate change is going to take an intentional approach with many innovations and we will have to make these innovations scalable and affordable.
