Blog Post #4

            This week we watched a documentary about the disappearance of Aral Sea and overuse of the Colorado river which could lead to it to the same fate as the Aral Sea. Both these situations caused by us as humans. It really caught my attention because I just find it crazy how destructive we are to nature and how we can just look away from the situation like nothing  happened or it never existed in the first place. All animals that once called it home for hundreds of thousands of years gone in a matter of decades for our own self gain and we're doing it again to the Colorado river. It’s the same situation, just thousands of miles away. About 70% of the water from the Colorado river is used for agriculture and this is a major factor as to why the river is and has dwindled in size. With the technology that we have today we can easily help by giving nature a little hand or a tiny boast to help aid in the revival of the areas that we took away from it.
