In San Diego, 

California there are 

environmental issues 

that people can't 

seem to figure out. 

The population in San Diego is about 1,326,179 

since 2011. Some of problems in the environment 

include water supply issues and the amount of open 

space available for transportation. 

The amount of oxygen an average person breaths in a day is about 

550 liters - 630 liters. A tree that has 100 leaves can produce about 

500 mL of oxygen per hour. If a person inhales 53,000 mL (53L) of 

oxygen per hour, divide that by 500 mL it equals 106 plants. It 

would take about 140,574,974 plants to fulfill San Diego's entire 

population.

Let's start off with the water supply. San Diego's 

sewage system doesn't meet the federal 

pollution rules. Where the water comes from and 

how the water is used is an issue. So how do we 

try and fix it?

We can do the basic things like use less water when 

showering or brushing our teeth. And for the source of 

the water supply, we can use what is within San Diego 

and reuse it instead of going out and getting tons of 

new water that is going to be wasted.

Trying to find space 

for more 

transportation is 

another one of the 

environmental 

struggles in San 

Diego. The roads keep 

expanding into land 

that is suppose to be 

used for endangered 

species. Yet getting 

around the city is still 

a challenge. 

Now trying to fix that issue is going to be a much bigger 

mission than conserving water. It's going to take in many 

trials and errors before finding a great solution. A 

possiblilty could be having residents live closer to one 

another to make more room for things such as schools, 

parks, and transportation. 

There are many other environmental issues within San 

Diego, California. But with the help of the community, the 

future will be bright for those who live there, plan on 

living there, and the people who are already there. It 

won't just help the human race, but all the other living 

things as well.
