 Drug addiction, also called substance use

disorder, is a disease that affects a person's
brain and behavior and leads to an inability to
control the use of a legal or illegal drug or
medicine. Substances such as alcohol,
marijuana and nicotine also are considered
drugs. When you're addicted, you may
continue using the drug despite the harm it
causes.

 “Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available

water resources to meet the demands of water usage
within a region. It already affects every continent
and around 2.8 billion people around the world at
least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 
billion people lack access to clean drinking water.””

 Food Sanitation

 When certain disease-causing bacteria, viruses or

parasite contaminate food, they can cause food-related
diseases. Another word for such a bacterium, virus, or
parasite is “pathogen”. Since food-related diseases can
be serious, or even fatal, it is important to know and
practice safe food-handling behaviors to help reduce the
risk of getting sick from contaminated food. According
to the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), “food
safety is the assurance that food will not cause harm to
the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten
according to its intended use”. Foodborne diseases are
widespread throughout the world.

 Human Disposal
 Human Disposal

 The waste humans generate waste has been

detrimental to our environment for quite some
time now. Humans are generating too much
trash and cannot deal with it in a sustainable
way. Waste that is not biodegradable and cannot
be properly be recycled is filling our oceans and
landfills. Let’s take plastic waste as an example.
A recent study found that of the 6.3 billion
metric tons of plastic waste that has been
produced, 
only 9% of that plastic waste had been recycled.
