I need to research a country with a good conservation policy for my homework and im really struggling i cant find a single country's info on a tropical rainforest conservation policy! please help its appreciated muchly :) Thanks x moreResolved Question: The Burning Question?
This is the headline from today's Independent. It refers to the production of biofuels devastating huge swathes of the world's environment. Conservation International estimates that the Cerrado of Brazil and Paraguay will disappear by 2030. Indonesia is now the third biggest climate polluter in the world after the US and China. Indonesia could lose all its rainforests by illegal felling in 15 years. African countries such as Mozambique and Burkina Fasso are two of the hardest hits countries as their food is turned into biofuel. Now I don't suppose we can do a single thing by ourselves, but what do you think people can do if they get together? My thoughts are that we can contact our MP and see what their opinion is and suggest they will lose our vote if their policy on biofuels is not pro-green enough. What do you think? moreResolved Question: Can you help me decide which is the worse of the 2 evils??
Hello I can now become a vegetarian after 4 years of having a B12 deficiency. Now my B12 levels are up I would like to become a vegetarian. HOWEVER soya products are damaging the environment and I realise you need protein in your diet as it can cause a lot of medical problems. Brazillian rainforests are being cut down. I am off to uni later this year to study conservation and ecology hence the reason for the veggie question. Which is worse, eating animals that are produced in this country or damaging the rainforests along with species? Please help me decide which is the best thing for the planet! Many thankshttp://www.greenpeace.org.uk/forests/agricultureI would just like to say that I do eat organically produced food and it was a rarity with my blood (for my age), as well as the folate.Oh and I never eat processed foods either! moreResolved Question: Global Energy Saving/Co2 emissions?
I`d be interested in other peoples opinions regarding the way we are constantly being brain washed into saving energy. We pay amongst the highest energy prices in the world that should be good enough.Example U.K. Gallon of petrol £5, U.S.£1.50 Another one that winds me up taxation on flying, where is all this money going,I doubt into enviromental projects, Gordon Brown could have bought the rainforest by the end of this year. I believe in energy conservation etc, but why do we even bother when the U.S. just laugh, India and China are just getting started, Lord knows if Africa starts climbing out of the third world. We are just a drop in the ocean. moreResolved Question: why are tropical rainforests and savanna grasslands vital to the conservation of biodiversity?
