@CalebCupcakes Yes, other cities should take measures to conserve water, but not just because of droughts. If cities had more effective systems to conserve water, it could lessen the impact of droughts when they occur or be a preventative measure. Water is a resource that should not be

Destigmatizing mental health is "becoming a much more recognized need" for teens and adults. Olympians Chloe Kim and Simone Biles both started conversations regarding their mental struggles in the past year. Student-athlete mental health has #mchslang23 https://t.co/ZrVllgH2w7

What role should federal governments play in protecting reptiles?

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

According to an evaluation of thousands of species published by the journal Nature, 21 percent of reptile species are classified as endangered. The assessment will impact government decisions regarding national park boundaries and #mchslang23 https://t.co/iiyBbyrk7P

environmental funds. This is important because evolutionary history and ecosystem health will be lost if reptile species go extinct. Since habitat loss largely due to human involvement is the greatest threat to reptiles, should it be the responsibility of humans to protect them?

Crossings can restore ecosystems and play an important role in urban wildlife conservation. Do you think more urban areas should build wildlife crossings? Should cities be required to?

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

Ten years after the idea was first proposed, construction on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing began on Earth day. Two decades of research by the National Park Service have shown that roads are isolating species likes bobcats and lizards. #mchslang23 https://t.co/Rd3hW9gjOL

Do you think that mental health resources should be a more common factor that high school students should consider when applying to college?

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

In this opinion piece, the author argues that mental health resources play a significant role in students' mental health. 40 percent of college students experience depression, over 30 percent experience anxiety, and 1 in 8 have #mchslang23 https://t.co/HwqG2ne0xp

suicidal thoughts. This is why more colleges need to address the mental health crisis. Students should be asking questions about their prospective colleges, like what commitments is this college making to address student mental health, to choose a place they will be successful.

could better accommodate online workers? How important do you think inclusive hiring practices are to the success of a company?

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

This article argues that "relaxing policies against remote work" will help companies retain a diverse workforce because over 80% of non-White workers prefer a hybrid or remote work environment. Working from home lessens commute time and #mchslang23 https://t.co/gN1GqBNc45

eliminates emotional labor that comes with being a POC in a work environment, but "'proximity bias'" (where more physically visible workers are more likely to get promotions) is an unfair consequence of doing online work. How could workplaces create and advertise the ways they

@35SaschaB information is taught in an appropriate way, learning about overdose reversal drugs like Narcan would not lead to increased carelessness.

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

@35SaschaB Drug education would ensure that more teens are aware of the risks they are taking when they use drugs. Especially because many pills are laced with fentanyl, it is important that teens know how dangerous their actions can be. I think drug education is a good idea, and as long as

Academics to keep their jobs starting in 2023, and many teachers are quitting because of this. Should the teachers be paid for the hours they spend taking the course? How could the state find other incentives to prevent teachers from quitting?

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

Many teachers are considering finding a new profession because they cannot support themselves or their families financially. On top of stressors from the pandemic, teachers in Texas are required to take an unpaid 60-120 hour course on Reading #mchslang23 https://t.co/Ca3JltsBFe

@O2346Stu good place to start.

[Cassidy D @Cassidymchs]

@O2346Stu Appealing to people's emotions and personal experiences could be an effective way to motivate people to participate in studies like this. Explaining that studies can help doctors understand mental health disorders so that less people suffer with their mental issues might be a
