"Climate change also threatens food security. After a certain point, rising temperatures reduce crop yields.(Brown,P.6)"
The climate today has been changing so much especially with global warming. It has been super hot and makes growing crops harder because the temperature has been so hot. It changes the climate in the ares that crops are grown. This makes it difficult to grow certain crops. The extremes of hot and cold can damage the growing processes of crops. It is difficult to grow crops with a constantly changing weather patterns. In todays world we rely on farmers to grow our food and keep it clean.

"The integration of walkways and bikeways into urban transport systems makes a city eminently more livable than one that relies almost exclusively on private automobiles. (Brown, P.154)"
I think today the world has been designed so that if you do not have a car you are stuck. There are buses but even in some areas it is hard to get on buses. I think they need to design new areas so that it is possible to ride your bike to work or walk to the store. Where I grew up it was a challenge to ride our bikes to the gas station to get slurpees. That was far and everything was farther than that. In future growing areas should design buildings and houses more bike and walking friendly.It will also help to keep people more active instead of rely on sitting in cars.

"Restoring the earth will take an enormous international effort, one far larger and more demanding than the Marshall Plan that helped rebuild war-torn Europe and Japan.(Brown, P.193)"
Restoring the earth will take a long time and a huge effort on everyone's part. Many forests have been destryoed which has affected many animals homes. We are too busy worrying about hurting the environment for our own benefit. It is not just Europe and Japan like the Marshall Plan, it is the entire world that needs help. Emissions from cars, power plants,and other industrial places destroy the environment.It will take a long and continuous effort to restore the environment and everyone needs to keep helping.
