__ABC Cleo __ The term “Digital Divide” refers to a gap between rich and poor individuals. The United States Uses Internet access excessively. Some of the smaller countries have no internet because they have no use for it. Other countries cannot afford internet access. There is large debate over why countries do not have internet. Some cities in the United States are planning to create free city wide internet access. Some countries would not have web pages written in their language. The US is providing free internet to some countries.

Congress passed the Toxic Substance Control Act in 1976. This act allowed the EPA (enviromental protection agency) to gather information on all new and exictiong chemicals in order to control those that pose a health risk. This law also provided grater safe gaurds for indoor polution. This law helped with the clean air act. The EPA gained greater control of toxic chemicals from this law. The over all quality of air was effected by this law. The main focucs of this law was to control the toxic polution indoors. I agree that we need to take care of the planet.

 The United States and Mexico are facing a crisis with water availability. There are few water sources and many of them are not drinkable. The United States and Mexico have signed treaties regarding water consumption. States in the United States are holding augments about water usage rights. Some states are claiming owner ship of more water sources than others. An attack on water supplies in a potential terrorist act. Human life relies on water. I believe that each city should be responsible for their own water supply.
