Here's what the beaches in Santa Cruz County look like this weekend. ASH is falling from the sky from #CZUAugustLightingComplex fires. Air quality is unhealthy. @CityofSantaCruz says: "Do not visit us now. We’re dealing with an unparalleled catastrophe."

Images tell a thousand words. I agree with your statement very much.

[Eric @EricDal82839594]

#WhatIlearnedin39c I learned images are powerful and very important in essays, but also on website pages and in tweets.

[bk @nitratewater]

I agree with this wholeheartedly, with more research, the better insight you gain on the overall issue, therefore making a better argument.

[Citlalli Dzul @DzulCitlalli]

Advocacy also has to be fair, there can't be an "winning" or "losing" side. The more research done, the better credibility one will have. @39CSustain #WhatIlearnedin39C

[bk @nitratewater]

Yes, I agree as well. It is important to make sure to include rhetoric elements such as logos, ethos, and pathos to make our argument and voice stronger.

#WhatIlearnedin39C
I have learned to consider building logos, ethos, and pathos in my essay to make my argument stronger. Proper use of the rhetorical triangle can be very useful in an advocate essay.

I agree, conventions are important to consider when creating writing pieces or portfolios because they add to the context and meaning of what we are trying to create.

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

In creating an online portfolio, I was also able to learn more about the conventions of a website. For example, including white space between paragraphs is a convention because it encourages the readers to read the paragraph more. #WhatIlearnedin39C

@ChenLi34057427 Thanks!

[bk @nitratewater]

Yes, it is great to note that the 3-step method is a great way of incorporating sources into your argument/essay.

[bk @nitratewater]

Peer reviews significantly improve your writing, from multiple points of view and various comments, you can see the overlaps and extra comments that point out any flaws or lacking points in your essay. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[bk @nitratewater]

When creating a portfolio of your works, it is important to have a variety of artifacts showcasing your journey, and captioning them. On top of that, it is vital that you show reflection on how you progressed throughout the process. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[bk @nitratewater]

In order to fully understand an issue, it is wise to get information from a variety of sources, from scholarly articles to news reports to Twitter posts by credible people.
#WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[bk @nitratewater]

When reading articles or web pages regarding news or reports on events, discoveries, or anything else seeking to inform an audience, it is important to check the credibility of the author. On top of that, it is wise to check their sponsor as well. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[bk @nitratewater]

Throughout the quarter, I have completed numerous assignments and tasks that have helped shape my improvement in writing.

An alternative solution to water partnerships, advocate for the relief of these Central Valley residents that don't have clean water with this bill. Though this solution is front-end, it is a step towards relief and change. #39CSustain

Although the partnerships of water systems is a viable solution, there is still some opposition against it, such as from the Food and Water Watch group. This group is against the improvements on private water infrastructure. #39CSustain

Thomas Harter, a professor at UC Davis details in reports related to groundwater remedial that the merging of water systems would be an effective solution to polluted groundwater #39CSustain

A proposed bill by Tammy Duckworth, the S. 2596: Voluntary Water Partnership for Distressed Communities Act of 2019, is a viable solution to small and rural communities that cannot afford clean water #39CSustain

https://t.co/ICLs6uLeYR

[bk @nitratewater]

EPA history and past legislation on the regulation of groundwater contamination. Despite this, it seems to only protect public water wells and not private ones, private wells are the ones that small and rural communities have #39CSustain

The issue with synthetic #pesticide is that it leaches into the ground, contaminating the #groundwater and affects the quality of water for surrounding residents and communities #39CSustain

[EcoWatch @EcoWatch]

#EPA evades public comment period for dangerous soybean #pesticide. Only the pesticide industry was tipped off. "Clearly no one from the public health community knew about this because no one commented." @CenterForBioDiv #chemicals #waterpollution

water rates for Californians are rising... and for communities like the San Joaquin Valley, this water isn't even safe to drink #39CSustain
