You have read three pieces in this lesson that address the fact that the planet is running out of resources to support a growing global population. One text – "Famine is a Feminist Issue" – offered a potential solution to some of the problems posed by overpopulation, suggesting that increasing women’s access to education will lead to a reduction in famine and slower population growth. In this discussion, you will focus on how technological advances might also mitigate or lessen the strain on the planet’s resources caused by overpopulation.
Let's check out Dakota's post.
New technology could greatly aid the effort to create the necessary resources for the planet to support its growing population. For instance, we might increase our reliance on hydroponic farming. Hydroponic farming grows crops without soil, instead delivering water and food to plants via a nutrient-rich solution. Thus, hydroponics lets farmers grow crops in dry areas or regions where traditional farming is impossible. Additionally, hydroponic farming is highly efficient in terms of the area it requires to produce food, using just a fraction of the space that traditional farms need.
Create one post in answer to the following prompt:
The global population is growing. As a result, the resources needed to support people are dwindling. How might technology and technological advances be harnessed to make the most of the planet’s resources and support its expanding population? Describe at least one possible technological solution to the problems caused by overpopulation.
Create two posts replying to your peers.
Read and respond to two classmates' posts by probing and reflecting on their proposals. Were their solutions different from yours? What did you learn from the solutions they suggested?

Keagan hates going to Advisory; in fact, he would rather chew off his little finger than attend that class for three days in a row.
Writing lots of sentences makes me stronger; it’s getting me ready to conquer the world.
Greg is getting stranger every day; on the other hand, the lessons are getting easier.
The semicolon is much easier to understand and use compared to the comma; the semicolon has only a few rules.
Explanation:
The semicolon is a punctuational mark used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. Another way to connect independent clauses is by a coordinating conjunction preceded by a comma. A semicolon and coordinating conjunction can't be used at the same time.
The first sentence consists of only one independent clause, which is why there is no need for a semicolon there.
The second, third, fourth, and sixth sentences consist of two independent clauses that are not connected by a conjunction. This is why we should add a semicolon there (as shown in the Answer section).
The fifth sentence consists of two independent clauses, but the conjunction and is already used to connect them. This is why a semicolon is unnecessary here as well.
