Racing Towards Cleaner Waters

The clean water crisis in Mozambique

This presentation raised awareness about the lack of accessto potable water in Mozambique. The presenters spoke about how hard it is for the people of Mozambique to attain clean water. They also spoke abou the lack of sanitation systems and bathrooms. This leads the people of Mozambique to deficate where they please. Having a bathroom is simply not a luxury that all the people of Mozambique have. On average it takes about 30 minutes to walk to the nearest well to get clean water. Access to clean water in some cases surpasses the need for education for the children of Mozambique. Transnational Organizations such as the UN and UNICEF aim to eliminate and mitigate the effects of this water crisis. The UN has a sustainibility goal to provide water to all of Mozambique by 2030. Moreover, UNICEF is currently working on constructing wells and bathrooms for the people of Mozambique. After the formal presentation, the speakers laid out various fields that can aid in solving the situation. The speakers spoke posed a question and handed out sticky notes so that we could come up sustainable ways to solve the water and sanitation crisis. After, we discussed the ideas we came up with to solve the water and sanitation crisis.

Introduction

The Brightline is a railway system that takes its passengers to and from metropolitan areas of Florida such as West Palm Beach, Ft.Lauderdale, and Miami. The Brightline is the nation's deadliest railway, with more than one death per month. This is more than all of the 821 railways in the US. Many of these deaths are a result of suicide or reckless behavior (ie. trying to beat the train or playing drinking games too close to the tracks, etc.). Railway suicide does not only impact the families of the deceased but the passengers and staff on the train and the communities around the area of the incident. Brightline as a company has an inadequate way of addressing suicide prevention and preventing reckless behavior. Despite the clear need for effective change, Brightline has not yet found an efficient way to address this issue. Brightline has partnered with Operation Lifesaver non-profit focused on creating railway safety education. Operation Lifesaver has an abundance of resou...

The Brightline : The Nation's Deadliest Railroad

The Brightline is a high-speed railway system that connects Central and South Florida. What would take three to four hours in a car ride would take only an hour on the Brightline. According to the Tri-Rail Commuter Service, the national amount of fatalities is 1 for every 100, 000 miles. The Brightline's average is 1 every 29,000 miles. That is about one or more deaths a month. It is important to note that many of the deaths are a result of suicides or reckless behavior. The problem that arises is the lack of regard for suicide prevention and reckless behavior. There are several plausible solutions to this problem. One inadvertent cause is the issue of reckless behavior. Reckless behavior in this sense is a fatality that is the result of a person ( a driver, cyclist, or a runner) tries to beat the train. A solution that came to mind is the patrol of intersections between streets and railroads. This would prevent people from attempting this type of behavior. More specifical...
