6. What Global Issue concerns you the most? Why?
The global issue that bothers me the most is global warming. Not just because it is a scary thought, to think about what will happen when all the islands begin to disappear, but also because there are people who do accept that global warming exists and is happening. When people fight reality, things that can proven, it make me worry about some peoples ideals.
I know a few people who work for Doctors without Boarders! Wonderful organization!
