Open Question: Can you please help me out in this...?

Can you please explain me the following stanzas by Tony Mitton from Rainforest Song in 5-6 lines (seperately) :- "Forest, my mother, feed me your fruit, Forest, my father, trace me my roots, Forest, my shelter, spread me your shade, As I walk in the glow of your green forest glade." "Forest of whispers and intricate ways, Forest of spirits that slip through your maze, Forest of mystery dark and deep, You glide like a snake through my waking and sleep. "Forest, the home of animal, bird and man Forest, the meaning I understand, Forest, the ground where I place my tread, Where I breathe my being and pillow my head" "Forest, the world I depend upon, Where will I walk if my forest has gone?" Thanks. more

Open Question: How can I save the world?

I'm looking at resources and sustainability at school, and its making me so sad and frustrated. Why are people so stupid? Can't they see what they are doing to the environment? They are just taking and taking resources without thinking about the consequences in the future, but they won't be able to take anymore once its all gone! Powerful corporations only care about the amount of money they make and will do anything to get it. Animals are becoming endangered because their habitats are being destroyed, fish and whales are disappearing due to over fishing. I'm ashamed to be a human... I feel so passionate about this, I hate seeing everything bad that's happening in our world today and it makes me so motivated to do something about it. What can I do to help that will make a big impact? What should I avoid buying e.g. kinds of food? How can I cut down on energy usage apart from switching off lights? How can I save endangered animals? How can I be an eco-friendly tourist? Also, my goal is to plant 1 million+ trees in a rainforest sometime in the future, how would I begin a project like that? Sorry for all the questions, but answers would be much appreciated :) Thanks xxxOh also, are there any good organizations online that I could join? If you know any websites, please tell me xx more

Resolved Question: In your opinion, what countries seem to care about animals and the environment more than others?

I know that every individual person is different but I have found that some nationalities seem to care more than others. Some think that the earth and it's resources is for the taking. Other countries go out of their way to help animals. Please don't take this offensively, but I have found the Chinese to be particularly careless when it comes to the welfare of animals. Costa Rica seems to go out of its way to protect its rainforest. And Americans treat their pets like kings. But what is your opinion? Who do you think is most environmentally conscious and who is least? This is just my experience.Please answer!! more

Resolved Question: Uncommon unisex names that have something to do with animals?

Help me suggest names for a friend's next child! A friend of mine has a baby son. She named him an uncommon surnamey choice (which I won't share here, due to privacy). After he was born, she found out he shares his name with a type of sea turtle. This is perfect, as she loves animals, and they had actually already decorated his nursery with an ocean theme! She now has begun collecting sea turtle items because they remind her of her son. Now she wants her next child to be named after something, too. Can you help me find names she might like? The names should meet these qualifications: 1. The names should be very uncommon (not in the U.S. top 200; maybe not even in the top 1000). 2. The names should have a unisex, surnamey feel (along the lines of Riley, Paxton, Presley, or Keegan). 3. The names should have something to do with an animal (e.g., Adelie after Adelie penguins, Vanessa after a genus of butterfly, etc.). The animal should be one that someone might collect, wear as jewelry, or otherwise like (type of butterfly = good; type of cockroach = not good). A really cool plant might work (such as a type of palm tree, or rose or such), but an animal would be better. And bonus points if it is a rainforest animal, as that is how she hopes to decorate the next baby's nursery.It might be easiest to find subspecies of animals that were named after someone's last name. Examples of what I'm looking for (though I hope to find better names than these): Wagler (after Wagler's macaw) Bevan (after Bevan's swift butterfly) Harris (after the Harris Hawk) Pallas (after Pallas's long-tongued bat) Thomson (after Thomson's gazelle)Thanks to everyone who has suggested names (especially those of you who are still looking for more). I'm searching, too. I know this is a tough question. It's quite the baby name challenge. more

Voting Question: English help please (Essay) thanks so much i appreciate it easy 10 points!!!!!!!!!!?

Is my introduction fine or does it need corrections. if it does please correct it for me i think i need better transition words and with structure i should be able to discuss what i will write about later which is about tropical rain forests etc... animals plants the environment etc.... Rainforests are home to two-thirds of all the living animal and plant species on Earth. It has been estimated that many hundreds of millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms are still undiscovered. Tropical rainforests have been called the “jewels of the Earth,” and the “world’s largest pharmacy,” because of the large number of natural medicines discovered there. A rainforest is an important and unique ecosystem with defining geography, as well as a climate and a species diversity unlike all other places on Earth. The tropical rainforest is the world’s most complex and diverse biome in both structure and species diversity, as well as the richest source of life on earth. more

If an animal lives in the rainforest, what natural abilities or features would it have to develop? What conditions would the creature have to be able to endure?

Resolved Question: Easy 10 points guys i promise!!!!!!!!?

Hey guys i need help with my English essay can you revise this paragraph for me please like can you make it better with good transisiton words etc.. thanks guys Some examples of rare and unique animals that can be found in the tropical rainforest of Brazil are the golden lion tamarin, the giant river otter, and the pink river dolphin. The golden lion tamarin eats fruits, insects, spiders, lizards and frogs. It is an omnivore because it eats meat and plants. It uses its long fingers to catch small animals that hide in tree cracks or under leaves. It has a distinctive protection call; it rushes for the trunks of the tress, or just falls to the ground. Even tamarins in zoos will do that when birds fly overhead. The giant river otter is the rarest mammal in the Amazon. They are highly endangered. They are the largest otters in the world, and they use their whiskers to locate prey. They also hunt together in groups. They can hold their breath for several minutes. Pink river dolphins are the most intelligent of all dolphin species, with brains significantly larger than human brains. They too are highly endangered. Like other dolphins, they are very friendly towards humans. Pink river dolphins are slower swimmers than other dolphins, and sometimes swim upside down. They like to throw sticks and even small animals like turtles. more

The vast diversity of plants and animals affects every part of the rainforest in several ways. Various reptiles and amphibians have also made the rainforest their home. Not only are the rainforests so complex and diverse but they also contribute significantly to the wider environment by cycling nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, absorbing carbon dioxide, and regulating temperature and precipitation. There are only two seasons in the rainforest, a long wet season followed by a brief dry season. more

Voting Question: Is this girl telling me the truth when she says she "doesn't really" like me?

A few weeks ago, I finished sixth grade, and during the second semester of the school year, I became attracted to a girl in some of my classes. She was the perfect person for me. She's optimistic, witty, intelligent, she's beautiful, and don't call me sick, sexy. (I guess I'm maturing faster than other kids). During this part of the year, I started to become friends with her. Apparently, she loves my sense of humor. I'm famous at school for uttering humorous one-liners during conversations, and adding things to pauses while a teacher is talking. For example: When my teacher once said: "Above all else," then pauses, I quietly say "Is really polluted sky." That one was famous. She always ends up laughing at those and tells the person next to her about what I said. I also LOVE her laugh, it's uber heart melting. At one point in language arts class, we read an article about how palm oil products harm environments in the indonesian area, where orangutans live, and the next day, me and my friend shared how we ended up killing a ton of orangutans yesterday after the girl scouts sold cookies in our neighborhood, we read the article, but bought them anyway. But near us was the girl and her cluster of friends, and they were yelling "You rainforest destroyers! You should be VERY ashamed!" Then i said "you can execute us later, so there." and starting there, the girl began constantly calling me guilty and a killer of the poor animals.(but in a joking way) I would always rebuttal with something like "Orangutans are uncivilized, crap throwing monsters, they have no right to be on our planet!" she'd always laugh and we'd keep debating. But I could tell she was hitting on me. I'm not completely sure, but it felt that way. At another point, she complimented my new shoes, and at another point, I complimented her hair, but i can't remember how she reacted, i THINK she smiled, but my memory's hazy. At one point, at a band concert, we were getting ready in the band room, and she left her cell phone on her chair and said "Watch my phone, and make sure david doesn't steal it. Now matter how much a friend he is to you and how hot he thinks my friends are in the pictures in there!" She said it with a charming smile on her face. At the end of the year, when we signed yearbooks, and I had her sign mine, and before she did, she borrowed my pen from my hand, and our hands ended up briefly touching, I'm not sure if she intended this or not. But at the end of the last day, since I was too chicken to tell her I liked her, I asked her if she liked me, and she said "Not really", I wasn't heartbroken or anything, but she acted like she did. Was she just too shy, or did she really mean it? more

I need the following biomes matched to their correct definition....... First person to match these correctly gets the ten points! :) THANKS FOR HELP IN ADVANCE!!! The words are below... and the definitions are below that... Desert Coniferous Forest : Deciduous Forest : Grassland : Tropical Rainforest : Tundra 1: Moist, nutrient-poor soil. Very high biodiversity (many species). Dominant plants are broadleaf evergreen trees and shrubs. Lots of annual precipitation. 2: Soil is very rich in nutrients. Provides very productive agricultural areas. Provides homes for a wide variety of animal and plant species. 3: Thin layer of topsoil above the permafrost. Very short summer. Dominant plants are lichens and shrubs. 4: Moist soil, moderate amount of nutrients. Dominant plants are trees that lose their leaves annually. 5: Dry, nutrient-poor soil. Very low annual precipitation. Most animals are nocturnal. 6: Acidic soil, low in nutrients. Dominant plants are needle-leafed evergreen trees. more

Voting Question: Spanish Speaker Please help! Extra points!! :) :)?

Hi all- I was wondering if someone out there could translate my English into spanish. I need this because I have a volunteer presentation in Mexico tomorrow! (I'm part of the Green Team of America we spread awareness to America and many other countries about the global environment) There I will explain my script witch is currently in english to a bunch of people who only speak spanish. This would help me out so much and I will give extra points! I have part done because my friend is a mexican native, but I didn't want her to do the entire thing. And remember renew, reuse, and recycle everything! Save the rain forest by shutting off lights and reducing the amount you drive each day =) THANKS- Danni. I know its alot sorry but I promise extra points! 1.)The home to many animals and plants the rain forest is getting cut down by man, population is growing in the world, and humans are wanting more resources that come from the forest. The rain forest is located in South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia. Approximately 6% of the entire planet is rain forest. And half the animals and plants in the entire world live here. This is a crisis but together and many volunteers we make a difference. Everyone in the world should be concerned because in approximately 20 years there will be no rainforest. 2.)Organizations such as save the rainforest, make a wish to the rainforest foundation, and hold hands planet green foundation. All organizations make good use of the money and prevent all of this from happening. 3.)The rainforest is overall picture that can go to global warming and climate change. The world is in crisis if we don’t prevent global warming. The more co2 made from everyday human life is trapped in the ozone layer. When the sun gives off its solar rays onto the earth, the solar rays become trapped in the earth. This makes climate here on earth more hotter. The causes and effects of this is polar caps in the artic melt leading to a dangerous rise in water height. CO2 build up in the air can causes no healthy breathing for humans and animals. 4.)Things we can do to help is turn off lights, don’t use air conditioner, and use less bottle sprays with co2 and other gases. Next we should try to pass laws to restrict industries and factories from preventing less amount of smog and pollution. And instead of driving use public transportation, walking, or ride bike. 5.)When we all work together and try to prevent a serious world crisis like this its possible to make a difference. Every decision we make including the small ones can all lead to completing the goal to end destroy of Rainforest and global warming. more

Resolved Question: When you think about it...?

Can you guys believe that everyone you know is living in the same world? No like seriously. I'm not talking about the magic-ness of serendipity. But for example like when you move to a new place and forget about your old friends, you sometimes think about them. The distance of where you now live and where those people live will then seem so distant....so the thought is even stronger-- we all live in the same world. Or for instance the person you met on the street in another city a year ago or the bartender that served you when you were in college. These merely unrelated people. even THey still live in this world. Even you and me live in the same world. When i think of it i think whoa you live on, my old friends live on, the person i just met 5 years ago on a bustling street still lives on(hopefully), the killerwhales in the arctic live on, shemales live on, the highway ticket collector nodding to E-Zpass-paid cars still live on after all these years of driving, celebs still live on (even after rehab), people in Singapore still live on, monkeys and endangered animals and rainforest foilages kinda still live on, chicken and cows still live on (in poor conditions), and people that survived tsunami's and tornadoes still live on (well or badly is hard to say), and jolly French butchers still live on, and so are those professional athlete football players that gave a short wee by parting his shorts a little bit and got snapshotted, looking ridiculously hot anyway they live on, people affected by malaria live on (?), tree men live on. i just blurted it out. what's your list of people (or things) that you can think of, that are still living on this world after all that time of your lives?

Resolved Question: Does my 9 month old daughter have enough toys?

I never realized how fast time went by! When my daughter was less than 6 months, she was content with her swing, playmat, and bouncer. Once she turned six months we got rid of those and bought her a walker and jumper. Now that she's 9 months i've realized how much she's been missing out on the early development toys that she needs. Even when I do buy her toys though, she'll play with them for about a minute and then go back to crawling. All she really wants to do is crawl around, pick up crumbs off the floor, and find furniture she can use to pull herself up to stand. Anyways, other than probably 50 different stuffed animals, teethers, rattles, pull along toys, light up toys, etc. that she has, these are her toys: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Safety-1st-Disney-Princess-Music-and-Lights-Walker/13050751?sourceid=1500000000000003260330&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=13050751 http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-K6070-Rainforest-Jumperoo/dp/B000I2UJ0Q http://www.vtechuk.com/products-and-accessories/spin-and-discover-ocean-fun/ http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/182-6863456-8987128?asin=B000W3RYQS&AFID=Froogle_df&LNM=%7CB000W3RYQS&CPNG=baby&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001 http://www.target.com/LeapFrog-Learn-Groove-Musical-Table/dp/B000ETRENI/ref=sr_ln_reviews_1_3?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&node=1038576%7C1287991011&qid=1274767065#communityReviews http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2395034&fromWidget=TRU%3ACategory%3ATop+Sellers http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3526307 http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2341&e=detail&pcat=littlesuperstar&pid=41463 more

Resolved Question: Vegetarian propaganda focuses on land-use productivity statistics extrapolated from arable farming and...?

Vegetarian propaganda focuses on land-use productivity statistics extrapolated from arable farming (grain production) and the feeding of (the same) grains to grazing animals - how might this constitute serious context-drops? So often vegetarians fondly repeat (and repeat again) how arable farming produces more food and how wasteful and unproductive it is to produce meat from the same sized area of land and so on and so on... But, based on the methods used to produce such figures (see above/below) do these (virtually) uncritically accepted assumptions have any valid context in Reality? What relevance might this have? Points to consider: Do grazing animals naturally eat grains? Do humans naturally eat grains? (Ok brain now's your chance: can humans really digest raw grains very well/at all?). Can any system basing its models on the use of irrational (and unacceptable) farming practise have any credibility or meaningful value for changing/implementing policy? Has such a serious lack of objective honesty and context demonstrated the same level of manipulation as (for instance) testing a (competing model of) petrol car's performance (but on the important test day deciding to use diesel) and coming up with far reaching conclusions that the car is rubbish. What happens to land-yield models when bringing the calculations back to Reality (ie, when comparing such models when grazing animals get fed their natural diet)? Why have you fallen for this propaganda? What else might need an injection of critical thinking? (Other widely accepted notions of environmental/vegetarian dogma for instance? For instance, monocrops don't happen in isolation or get maintained all by themselves do they?)(This is also not an invitation to get confused* either about developing countries engaging in (my own opinion) totally unacceptable and criminal violation of rainforest land etc - this represents a completely separate and gravely serious issue - keep everything in context please). Also see: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ncs/newsarch/2002/Mar02/vegan.htm (and on Yahoo! Answers: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Amq9XdiDFEdc5vBgRykplAIhBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20100510151034AAd2REm ) PS: as many people seem to have 'forgotten' what grazing animals naturally eat - they eat grass, which they crop. And grass grows back. PPS: *It is completely irrelevant what the meat industry does in general - in context of your own individual dietary choices. It does not not matter (personally) what the meat industry does. Only personal application matters. I eat meat and animal fats everyday - loads of it. None of the meat/dairy I eat comes from farms engaging in the unacceptable practises of feeding grains to grazing animals, or destroying rainforest land (for short lived cattle pasture/monocrops of soya etc), or artificially intensifying production (to the animals detriment), or blanket use of antibiotics (why do you think grain fed grazing animals typically require such treatments anyway? What happens when looking after grazing animals properly, allowing a natural diet? Or even this nonsense about cow-methane? Come on, join the dots), or forcing them to listen to heavy rock music constantly, or anything that rationally could get considered an animal welfare abuse. Animal farming is not the problem. Demonising meat (or animal fats) is not the solution. Cutting your nose off to spite your brain is just funny and not recommended. more

Resolved Question: SPANISH SPEAKERS! HELP PLEASE?

Hello I was wondering if someone could translate my english into spanish for me. I work in environmental science/business and I have to address a group (in puerto rico) and most don't understand english. This would make my entire day if a native speaker could do this for me! I really appreciate it. (and wished I took spanish in college!) THANKS.-James The world is in crisis, each day that goes by the rainforest loses about 80,000 acres of plants, trees, and animal habitats. Every time something is destroyed form the rainforest it can never be restored. Three reasons for the destory in the rainforest is us as humans not recycling, human population, and econmic demand. Although theses problems effect to the rainforest, they all can stop if everyone helps out. The first soultion is for us to reuse and recyle everyday products such as plastic, glass, paper, and almunim. If we all recyle theses products we can slow down the destory of the rainforest. For example, if you chose to recyle your house products by bring them to the transfer station and seperate them into special marked containers. The next way we can help is to plant trees in yards, parks, and schools. By planting a tree this can redcue air pollution caused by cars, factorys, and industires. Planting a tree can also replace one that was cut down in the rainforest. And the final soultion to help stop the rainforest is to raise money for organizations that will perosnally protest and make awareness to the world. more

Resolved Question: What dose this all mean are we really going to die or not? A.s.a.p?

Okay i just this its freaky how this is all happening b4 2012 not saying its going to happen i just skimed though the article GENEVA (AFP) – The UN warned on Monday that "massive" loss in life-sustaining natural environments was likely to deepen to the point of being irreversible after global targets to cut the decline by this year were missed. As a result of the degradation, the world is moving closer to several "tipping points" beyond which some ecosystems that play a part in natural processes such as climate or the food chain may be permanently damaged, a United Nations report said. The third "Global Biodiversity Outlook" found that deforestation, pollution or overexploitation were damaging the productive capacity of the most vulnerable environments, including the Amazon rainforest, lakes and coral reefs. "This report is saying that we are reaching the tipping point where the irreversible damage to the planet is going to be done unless we act urgently," Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, told journalists. Djoghlaf argued that extinction rates for some animal or plant species were at a historic high, up to 1,000 times those seen before, even affecting crops and livestock. The UN report was partly based on 110 national reports on steps taken to meet a 2002 pledge to "significantly reduce" or reverse the loss in biodiversity. Djoghlaf told journalists: "There is not a single country in the world that has achieved these targets, we continue to lose biodioversity at unprecedented rate." Three potential tipping points were identified. Global climate, regional rainfall and loss of plant and animal species were harmed by continued deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, the report said. Many freshwater lakes and rivers were becoming contaminated by algae, starving them of oxygen and killing off fish, affecting local livelihoods and recreation for local populations. And coral reefs were collapsing due to the combined blow of more acid and warming oceans, as well as overfishing, the UN found. UN Environment Programme (UNEP) director general Achim Steiner underlined the economic value and returns of "natural capital" and its role in ensuring the health of soil, oceans and the atmosphere. "Humanity has fabricated the illusion that somehow we can get by without biodiversity or that it is somehow peripheral to the contemporary world," Steiner said. "The truth is we need it more than ever on a planet of six billion heading to over nine billion people by 2050." The report argued that biodiversity was a core concern for society that would help tackle poverty and improve health, meriting as much attention as the economic crisis for only a fraction of the cost of recent financial bailouts. It advocated a new strategy to tackle the loss alongside more traditional steps such as the expansion of protected natural areas and pollution control. They included attempts to regulate land consumption, fishing, increased trade and population growth or shifts, partly through a halt to "harmful" or "perverse" subsidies. Globel warming !!!!! more
