Our final project has been coming along very smoothly. Garrett and I have created a list of questions, and we have each coordinated with our volunteers to plan times to hold the zoom calls. I have completed my zoom calls already and they have all gone very well (I got recording consent from all of my volunteers and their conversations were very safe and flowed naturally). Garrett plans to hold his zoom calls this week and weekend. Currently, I am in the process of editing a highlight reel of my volunteers’ zoom calls to show to class. (I’d love to show each conversation in its entirety, but it would take up the entire class period). Garrett and I look forward to presenting our videos and explaining our findings and experiences to the class on April 29.
Issues that have been impacting my life and the ones around me mainly revolve around environmental issues. One of the pressing issues that affects the agriculture community in California is the State’s distribution of water. Now a tactic that the State Government has had for many years is to take water from Northern California and send it down to the South.

California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
