"Although they may contribute to climate change, I think that we need to focus on the industries that are actually making a huge carbon footprint on the earth and switch to a more sustainable energy source like solar power or wind power. I would be…"

"I have heard of one solution to safe drinking water that includes a small device that can be used in developing countries that will clean the water and is very inexpensive to produce. I think that this is a huge problem in the world, especially when…"

"If I saw this snake on my tree, I would be startled, but ultimately wouldn't be too scared of it. From the story, it seemed like a pretty docile snake that just saw a cozy tree that he wanted to curl up in. If it didn't leave on its own, I would…"

"I think that it is fine that the Mall of the Bluffs will be torn down. There are only 3 or 4 businesses left and most of them are closing anyway. The only business that raises concern is Planet Fitness because it is doing well and bringing in a lot…"

"I do think that this telescope would be helpful for further space exploration and discovery. I'm not too sure if this telescope could find aliens. If aliens did exist, they would have to live extremely far away to be on a planet that can sustain…"

"I would try to keep warm and protect my face from the wind. I would try and dig a hole in the snow because it is a good insulator. I think it would be a while before I went hiking again if this happened to me, but ultimately, I would contintue to…"

"I would immediately call the police in this incident. I do believe that this person was a threat to New York because he was openly supported a terrorist group that is known to hate the Western World, Especially the United States. "

"I think that pollution has definitely enhanced the probability of genetic mutations, however things like this do happen in nature already. There have been two-headed cows, two-headed snakes, and even two-headed people. Although I don't believe that…"

"I agree that it is possible that Bolsonaro does not believe that climate change is real, or does not want to believe it. He cares more about the immediate consequences of his lack of action, but doesn't realize that this will affect the entire world…"

"I agree that Bolsonaro cares at least a little bit about the forests, especially because it offers tourist opportunities. However, I think that he ultimately cares more for the money he could make if the Amazon is destroyed."

"Michael, I also hope that he cares about the forest. It is a very complex ecosystem that houses many organisms, some that are endangered. It is also home to some tribes, who will have nowhere to go if the Amazon is destroyed. "

"Justine, I agree that it is possible that the government is contributing to the continuation of deforestation in the Amazon. Even despite all of the financial aid that was offered from around the world, the Brazilian President is still reluctant to…"

"Trey, I agree that it is contradictory to let the forest be destroyed for money, yet the Amazon and other forests are what keep everything on Earth alive. Bolsonaro likely doesn't realize the long-term consequences of deforestation. "

"I agree that the government is likely allowing it for economic gains. Less forest land mean that Brazil will have more farmland and more paper and wood products, thus gaining more money. "

"I think that this is a reasonable punishment for animal cruelty. People don't realize that most pets can have the same intelligence as a small child, so I think it is comparable to harming one. I don't believe that the old law was sufficient to…"

"bump"

"I think that the best thing that the government can do right now is give people a place to live. Many people are losing their homes due to this catastrophe and are left with nowhere to go. It depends on the situation for a business owner in Venice.…"

"I think that it is very hard to tell what drives people to do terrible things, especially when they are teenagers. Teenagers' brains are still developing and there are always so many things going on so they don't know how do manage everything, so…"

"If I had the chance, I would definitely participate in this. I love to travel and one of the places that I want to go is Australia. I don't think that I would be able to last 19+ hours straight on a flight. If I was the pilot, I would want to have a…"

"I would definitely try vegan ice cream. I know that the dairy and meat industries are places of terrible animal cruelty and that we should reduce our uses of animal products, so I think that this is a step in the right direction. That being said, I…"

"I agree that facial recongnition features are very beneficial to our everyday lives, such as on our smart phones. However, there is a line between convenience and invasion of privacy. I think that law enforcement should only able to use facial…"

"I don't believe that this horrible event was intentional, but I do think that the driver made some very poor decisions that lead to this point. The situation was possible, but not very plausible, but sometimes the unexpected happens. I don't think…"

"These fires will of course negatively affect the environment by emitting smoke into the air and destroying plantlife, which will in turn harm animals. I think that these fires are especially dangerous in the Australia area because the ozone layer…"

"I think that society lacks awareness for animal cruelty because people simply don't believe that animals have the same mental and emotional capacity as humans, which is untrue. If we were able to educate people about the psychology of apes' brains,…"

"I think that this bill is helping to protect the natural environment in California. There are fewer and fewer reservations now, and I think we need to protect them if we can. One way that this conflict could be resolved is by setting designated…"

"If I witnessed something like this, I would try to stop the woman from entering the enclosure. This could be dangerous for both the woman and the lion. I think that people need to realize that animals in zoos are not domesticated. Some people on the…"

"I would personally try to do the llama greeting. I think it would help the llama feel more comfortable and familiar with me, which would lead to a more pleasant experience from both parties. I think that this type of event could be extremely popular…"

"If I won that much money, I would give most of it to environmental conservation efforts, because that is something that is very important to me and the future of the entire world. And I would pay for college. I wouldn't feel guilty about winning two…"

"I think that everybody needs to be more aware of what they are eating and what the consequences can be of eating certain foods. Many people today tend to eat for the enjoyment of it rather than the nutrition. I think calorie counts are a great way…"

"I don't think that blame can be pinned on a single person in this case. Yes, he may have made some bad decisions during his time coaching, but I think football is a very situational sport. The result of the game can depend on so many small factors,…"

"For me, it depends on the path that developers will take with AI. One way that it could be used is to replace workers in factory or assembly-line jobs, which I think is a bad thing. I do think that it is a good idea to continue with AI, as long as…"

"I believe that he should have been forced to step down. Just because he is in a more powerful position doesn't mean that the company policies don't apply to him. Bottom line, he was not following the rules. Although I don't believe that it is…"

"I agree that there should be regulations for ESA. While they are necessary for some people, they can cause problems for others. For example, someone could have allergic reactions to the animal. I also believe that ESA's should be trained animals, or…"

"I believe that the cop should be investigated and put on trial. This death seemed completely unprompted and unnecessary. I don't think the cop was following the proper procedures for situations like this, so he should definitely be fired or…"

"I think that this program would be very interesting, especially because I am interested in space exploration, just not as a career. I would probably prefer not to go, however, so someone who wants to pursue a career in aviation can go instead. I…"

"I would consider this animal to be both a fish and an amphibian, but mostly a fish because it cannot live for more than four days on land. I think that this fish could have very bad consequences on the environment if their invasion continues to…"

"Yes, I do support the bill that promotes funding studies for autism. I think that many special needs programs are ingored and any chance to give it more funding should be taken. I agree that more should be done to educate others on autism. Many…"

"I think the THC-laced candies will become more widespread. Today, people are finding more and more creative ways to be able to use illegal substances, so I think disguising it as something as innocent as candy has an appeal to these people. If I was…"

"Domonic, I don't believe that a person's intelligence applies to natural selection as it isn't hereditary. Natural selection is the process of organisms in the wild with the best suited traits for their environment outliving the ones with less…"

"Camden, I agree that there can be more than one reason as to why young people do these challenges. I don't know if I would agree that they are stupid, but rather ignorant. Young people tend to not see the negative consequences of their actions. I…"

"Mitchell, I agree that internet platforms should be more aware of the content that is being posted, especially if it promotes dangerous activities or doesn't leave a proper warning for its viewers. I also believe that videos showing dangerous…"

"Dylan, I agree that there would still be people willing to do dangerous things for popularity or attention. Even without the internet, people will still dare others to do things or talk about things that people have already done."

"Evan, I agree that young people don't always have the best judgement and are very impressionable. There are many influencers on the internet that don't always spread a good message about being cautious and not trying stunts by yourself. I also think…"

"Dominic, I agree that young people are able to detect the cause and effect of an action, but don't always understand the consequences. In this situation, the boy probably saw the dangerous stunt as a cause for someone's post getting likes and wanted…"

"Nolan, I agree that kids wouldn't attempt these challenges as often if the internet didn't exist. If there isn't the possibility for getting attention or fame from doing something dangerous, then there is no motivation to try these challenges."

"Taryn, I agree that young people would likely try these challenges because they are portrayed as harmless on the internet. I also believe that young people are easily influenced by what they see, especially if they see someone they admire or look up…"

"Although I do believe that Bergan's death was an accident, I also believe that some charges should be pressed. Dennis should have been more careful and though more about the situation. Nothing about Bergan's behavior was threatening or too…"

"I agree that the teacher should have thought over his words before saying them. I believe that it was extremely unprofessional to infer that he would use a gun in a public school area, especially because the speaker was a 16-year-old girl. As a…"

"If I witnessed someone beating homeless men, I would imediately call to police. I would not try to interfere because that would only risk causing more harm to both me and the people involved. If I was a survivor of such a brutal attack, I would try…"
