Food Shortage

















Did you know that many people cannot find fruits and other product's in their local markets. What I did not know was that most of our fruits and vegetables are packed and sent to different states and countries, and in order for them to distribute our fruits they have to use gasoline for there transportation as in the car,boat,and trucks. I think we should start creating more farmers market the only farmers market that I know of is the Santa Monica Farmers Market I have noticed that a lot of people are starting to go there because of there good prices and good quality product that they have in their. What I have also noticed is that many people go to farmer's market because they can always find fresh fruit's that in there local market's they don't have. I think that this food shortage can really affect my life since I have a daughter I have to buy fruit,milk,bagel and other food's that she like as well for her dad ,this shortage will affect me because I would have to find different food's to give them and see how they react to it and if they don't like it I will have a hard time feeding them both.

Icelandic volcano ashe's




Did you know that yet another UK airport has shut down due to the Icelandic ashes. Due to the Icelandic ashes know many people have to drive themselves to there destination this will cause a lot of stress to people because know there would be a lot of traffic jams since many people know have to drive instead of getting a plan to there destination. Icelandic ashes has caused a lot of changes for people many people have cancelled there flights and booked new ones ,due to the Icelandic ashes many people have been stressing out because they have to wait weeks for the ashes to go away know they will have to wait and be stuck in the UK as long as the Icelandic ashes are still there. If I was to eb in that position Iwould be frustrated because I would have to make new booking dates for things that I had to do in my home country.

Today I learned









What I learned today was the meaning behind demand and supply, Demand is when people are willing and able to pay for a product or service.
Supply is when the person who makes the product decides how much the price should be.
What I found surprising in todays quiz was that Saudi Araibia is the largest oil corporation in the world with the largest proven crude oil reserves and production.

The News Report















Today I watched a news report about petroleum and what I found most surprising was that we use petroleum in multiple ways from gasoline for our cars to fertilize our crops, and to the clothing we wear to the paintings on our walls to food additives. I was very surprised to know that we need petroleum for many thing's not just for cars and machines. This changed my way of seeing things because it made me see how we rely on petroleum in variouse ways.
