Teitelbaum+Phase+III

In the picture there are rows of tents. This addresses the issue of the high rate of **//homelessness//** in Hawaii, due to the downfall of the economy and loss of jobs. The rate of the homeless is rapidly growing and there is no place for them to stay, because they can't afford to live in a house. || This foundation's goal is protecting the forests, preventing the soil erosions and planting more trees. We hope this will help to make our country better. ||  ||   || Teitelbaum Phase III

 * Cedric || //**Homelessness**// || Help raise awareness. It would be stating the obvious however, but in times like these it seems like the only thing we can do. This topic has been on the news multiple times, however the politics haven't done anything about it but kick the homeless out of public places. || Because of the downfall of the economy, people not just in Hawaii, but all across the United States are losing jobs. People need jobs to get money to sustain their living, but if they don't have a job, they can't afford to live under regular circumstances. If the rate of //**homelessness**// and unemployment continues like this, it will surely have a harmful effect on the economy, and the economy could potentially collapse. || [[image:http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/12/05/us/04hawaii.xlarge1.jpg width="360" height="166" caption="external image 04hawaii.xlarge1.jpg"]]
 * Dale || **//Obesity//** || According to an article in USAToday, global rates have doubled since 1980. The **//obesity//** pandemic is even worse here in the United States, with nearly one-third of all Americans either overweight or obese as of 2011. Understanding the basics of nutrition is key to a healthy lifestyle, and unfortunately, there is not always consistent, accurate information available. The information that is available has a tendency to be very science-oriented and takes some education to decipher. Additionally, the typical American office worker lives a primarily sedentary lifestyle. Eating in the office poses significant challenges as adult workers balance deadlines, time restraints and workplace social dynamics when determining breakfast, snack, and lunchtime meal choices. This often results in a reliance on fast food or convenience items to fuel workers through the day. ||  || [[image:1.jpg]] ||
 * Jenny || **//Homelessness//** || // Like I said, O'ahu, or Hawai'i, has the other side of Paradise. The oncoming rising rate of homelessness is disrupting our social and economical progress. Many Native Hawaiian, and other people, have been making less money because of the loss of job oppurtunities or lay offs. They are going through, foreclosures, debt, or some other form of bad situation.. // || //**Homelessness ** is preventing everyone, even the homeless themselves, from enjoying their lives. Many tax payers are contributing their money into helping people that don't want to be helped. Some of these people are basically depending on being //**homeless** // for the rest of their lives. ////As for the other people who are just below the money making bar, they are probably suffering. Homeless, are still considered people. No one should discriminate against them. Global impacts, could be, the amount of money, that is being equally distributed to people who abuse that privilege to buy drugs, alcohol, or waste it on pointless things (that doesn't help them survive, watches, hairspray, toys..) // ||  ||
 * Chrisjames || My local issue is **//insufficient transportation//** we are living on a very small island with a very large population. And it sometimes gets very difficult to get from destination to destination. this is all caused by over population and it causes some very drastic traffic. || We are currently in the process of resolving the problem.To do this we are planning on building a rail **//transportation//** system. wich as i have come to believe will be the solution to our problem. || the global impact of my issue is that not only hawaii has this problem but many other countries and states have this problem as well for example china has one of the largest populations in the world. || [[image:http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/hawaiitraffic.jpg width="280" height="182" caption="external image hawaiitraffic.jpg"]] ||

 * Caroline || A major local issue is //**poverty**//, especially in downtown Raleigh. There are many people living on the street who have **//no money and no place to go.//** There are not enough jobs for everybody in Raleigh. Also, there is a lot of litter on the greenway which many people are trying to clean up. || We could help to clean up the greenway or get a group together and organize a few hours every saturday to pick up trash or volunteer at a soup kitchen downtown. || These local issues create a negative look on our city of Raleigh, and we are not proud of the litter, and **//homeless//** on the streets. we need to creata a higher employment rate for those eligible. ||  ||
 * Dylan || //**Unemployment**// and a bad economy are big problems where I live and it has been for awhile now and that slows down the productionof businesses which makes life harder/ || There is not much that I can do but I think that a good way to help that is try to find more resources to sell in businesses so that more jobs can be provided. || Poverty that puts alot of hard working people on the street because of the economy. It`s even worse when I know that I can`t do anything about it. ||  ||
