In some cities they had to actually post arm guards on garbage trucks, people were scavenging for food, people would swamp the garbage truck when they would dump the garbage at the dumps. Production was down particularly of wheat, but there was enough out there but the only problem is transportation and storage system. They were dumping milk in the street as a protest, we didn’t have the system to transport milk from for example Wisconsin to Boston, it couldn’t be done so there are people that are starving in Boston because you couldn’t get the food to them. This is really a crisis and the country knows, Roosevelt knows, if you don’t fix this soon the public will put in dictatorship either on the right or the left. Dictators are very efficient they get things done on time.
In fact, bottled water can cost up to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water. Paying for something that we can get for free doesn’t make any sense at all. And also, the plastic pollution from the usage of plastic water bottles is a serious problem. The Container Recycling Institute stated that this year, more than 25 billion plastic water bottles will be sold in the United States alone and more than 80 percent of those will end up being disposed of rather than being recycled. Another point is that bottled water is no healthier than tap water.
Who in their right mind who would get off their task to get mangos? Later we find out that it was a bad idea. Chef and Willard run in to a tiger. They both get scared and run back to the boat. Chef has a mental break down and says “all I want to do it cook.
We ain't got no choice and if that means getting killed... its what we do around here to feed our family.” Another cause of this problem is the lack of choices they can make. When living in the neighborhood as some of these gang members do its hard to be successful and make a name for yourself. At the end of the day they will do what they have to, to feed their families. If that means risking their lives selling crack to make $3.30 an hour then that’s what has to be done. A final quote that supports this is “They did however pay dues to the gang-some for protection, other for the chance to eventually earn a job as a foot soldier.
Wise had plenty of opportunities to clean up the mess himself, but he avoided it because he did not make the mess. He then related that to the issue of racism. He said that people today are irritated with racism but since they did not make the mess, they do not feel like they should clean it up. Wise has made it his life goal to help clean up racial issues and persuade others to help as well. I have always found it very difficult to talk about racial issues with people.
Also Colin talks about the idea that companies in the 1905’s came up with the idea of building products that were going to break down or make newer products quicker so that consumers would buy more products and be less satisfied with what they had with the previous items. Colin also proceeds to think that even recycled items such as toilet paper is not what it says it is and the family decides not to use it at all. His idea that the economy runs to heavily off materials and then we send those materials back to the earth is worst shape then we found makes him decide to look into recycled products and how they are after we have used them. Towards the end of the chapter Colin still feels that there are more things that they can do to get closer to zero emissions in their everyday
Just because the dams are 40% it is clearly illogical for residence to be able to use whatever level of water consumption they please. Dams will deplete inevitably. According to the Queensland Chief Water Commissioner Elizabeth Nosworthy, if residence of the East Coast used jus 10 minutes extra water than they need, 150 million liters of water from just 1 dam will be wasted per week. Forcing level 6 water restrictions to be implemented in just a few weeks. “What the
In the more recent years, fishermen have discovered ways of fishing that give the fish no chance of survival. Computer monitors seek out the location of schools of fish, giving the fish no place to hide. Huge nets called dredges are lowered into the water and then “drag[ged] across large areas of seafloor to catch fish that live on or near the ocean floor” (Oceana, 2010). By destroying
We already solved some of the problem by recycling and composting but there’s still a huge amount of garbage. We can cut don’t our garbage by producing products that can be recyclable or can be put in a green bin. In the future I hope they can invent something that will eliminate garbage for once and for all. The reasons why we should eliminate those things are because our world would be a cleaner place. If we don’t stop Global warming our world is going to die and all the living beings in the world will perish with it.
They create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 each year”. Bluejay, claims that most ozone pollution is caused by motor vehicles, which account for 72% of nitrogen oxides and 52% of reactive hydrocarbons (principal components of smog)”. Bluejay also said “Car emissions kill 30,000 people each year in the U.S. Riding a bike to work will save money, and help the environment. But driving to work will actually do the opposite.
