Tropical rainforests are rapidly disappearing in a way that will greatly have an impact on planet earth. Since 1950, half of all tropical rainforests are gone because deforestation, mining and many other things are taking nature away from us. In a few decades, it has been estimated that the rest will be gone if we measures are not taken soon. The WWF (World Life Federation) oversees this ecological threat. They are working to save nature by helping people live in harmony with nature.
About 42 percent of the amount of Agent Orange that we used was devoted to crop destruction; the products of hours of hard work were demolished within seconds. Agent Orange caused many people to starve to death. It has been reported, by the New York Times, that the herbicide destroyed 75 percent of the rice crops. Because people’s homes and crops were being destroyed, they were left homeless and hungry on the
More than 30 million people including the indigenous people count on the forest for food, agriculture, clothing, and traditional medicines (Amazon). The truth is that some of the indigenous tribes in South America will go extinct along with their unique language due to deforestation. The amazon is home to some of the most stunning animals such as, the gorilla, jaguar, pink dolphin, the macaw, and many others. Deforestation of the amazon is annihilating the homes of these marvelous creatures. Animal habitats are also being destroyed or altered due to deforestation.
Sonia Gomez November 11, 2012 Should drivers who have had a DWI be acquired to have specialized license plate? Many people who have had a DWI may think is a bad idea because they don’t want other people to know about their business. In the other hand I think that people like me should be aware of those people who have had a DWI to keep a distance. Another reason might be that the streets are going to be safer now that everyone is aware of who has been drinking and driving. The last reason would be that that with this choice more people would rather stay sober while behind the wheel rather than let everyone know about it.
Moreover, Knutson states that an “intensive driver-education programs, stringent licensing criteria, and public-service announcement campaigns” can make the Americans drive responsibly on the road and he believes the main reason to repeal speed limit is “driving fast is enjoyable.” Surprisingly, the accident rates declined constantly since the interstate speed limits were increased. Knutson concludes that we, as drivers, should “fight to regain our freedom behind the wheel,” and take control of the automobiles. I disagree Knutson’s point of abolishing the national speed limits. In my view, I think repealing speed limit is a dangerous act. As it mentioned in the article, “American drivers do not possess the skill or capacity to drive at autobahn speeds”(Knutson paragraph 4).
In order for us, the consumers, to get all of our fancy products and up-to-date technologies, a process that we turn a blind eye to takes place. At the source of the process, there is natural resource exploitation. “We chop down the trees, blow up mountains to get the metals inside, use up all the water, and wipe out all the animals.” As consumers, we are running out of resources because we have too much stuff! In the past three decades alone, one third of the planet’s natural resource space has been consumed. We are undermining the planets very ability for people to live here.
Modernity may cease with global warming as half the biggest companies are oil companies, and oil is the essence of life. Deforestation and the effects of global warming on our forests and trees are far-reaching and quite evident. All our planets physical features are changing rapidly. And McKibben repeats himself on purpose to get his point across: the planet we knew is no more, we live on a new, more complex and harsher
Ford’s Mustang first model was in 1964; it was revolutionary to the car world. It was a smaller coupe but had all the power necessary to be titled as a “muscle car”. The car itself was so popular that they made another model in 1965 ½. The car is still hot in today’s generation; it’s just as wicked as it was in 1964. The Mustang ad from Rolling Stone’s magazine talks about how wicked the car still is, and that you don’t need any other reason to drive this wicked automobile.
Its location spans from Brazil into Northern South America. The Amazon is home to approximately 5 million different species of animals, plants, and insects. The Amazon Jungle, as it is commonly known in English, is a magnificent broad-leafed rainforest. In the Amazon you can find a large amount of food and resources such as fruits, nuts, oil, lumber, and many types of animals. These things are not only useful to us but also to residents and tribes of the rainforest and to the many species that live there.
To me it is dangerous to use your head and neck to ram someone in order to knock them down. People think that racing is dangerous because of the speeds, look at how many football players were paralyzed this year and even killed compared to racing. Race cars are actually way safer than regular street cars. Now that I have given my opinion, I hope I can make a point without sounding rude or ignorant. My feelings are strong for racing like theirs is for other sports.
