When you were a child, you most likely heard your parents talk to you alot about cleaning up after yourself when you eat, play, or do anything that may be messy. Alot of officials haven’t been listening to their parents. In the age of rapid modernization and “Empire”, the aim of most countries is to gain hegemony or global influence through economical means. They choose to go about their goals by building more to strengthen their economies, but they find it unnecessary to analyze their methods and the effects of them. This is exact problem that Dubai finds itself in at the moment. While their skyline is one of the most beautiful of the middle eastern area, the ground is a whole different story. The challenge of water is evolving to much more than just a problem: due to the recent growth much of their water has been tainted by waste and unfortunately the water treatments plants in the area don’t have the energy to clean all of it up. To respond to this problem, Dubai has decided to increase its erudition in nuclear energy. This venture seeks to solve the problem of desalination, and the lack of energy for the new buildings. It’s necessary to clean up after yourself, and, in fact, plan out clean up before you begin your endeavor.

Clean Up After Yourself

The end

April 27, 2010 · Filed under Global, Global Warming, People, Pollution, Poverty, Recycling, Trash

                 

               We’ve all heard about 2012 and how the earth will end. Some of us believe that theory, and lots of us don’t. Personally I don’t believe in that either, but I know if we don’t act upon saving the earth from destruction, we are all going to die. We can prevent this by cleaning up the earth and maintaining its good state. Many people all around the earth help to make our earth a better place. Some of the things they do are cleaning the ocean, sea and etc. These are big things that people commit to do, but we can also make a difference, starting from your home. There are things we do in our homes that contribute to messing up the Erath, but there are also things we could do to make the Earth greener, like recycling. Instead of putting plastic, cans, and papers in the same trash, we can separate them into their categories, so in that way we can save energy. Doing this things gradually lead to much more effective ways of cleaning the Earth. There are some places in this world that have been a victim of not cleaning up the Earth. Africa is one of the victims because they have gone through poverty war and still are. Above all these horrible things that happen to Africa, they still have hope. We have all we need to help our Earth, so if we don’t do anything it’ll be shameful that, as a leading country we aren’t be doing our job.

Where are the polar bears?

March 23, 2010 · Filed under Global, Global Warming, People, Poverty

Where are the polar bears? Polar bears, as we all know are one of the most admired animals on earth. These animals are put in zoos for our entertainment, but now they are in need of us. The polar ice caps in which they walk on are melting, and if we don’t do anything about it they will be extinct. There are stories in magazines, newspapers, books, and etc, about polar bears that drown, hungry, homeless, and dying. We must do something about it, or they will be all gone. We all know about the extinction of the dinosaurs. They were completely wiped out from the earth, because of the asteroids. Stated in a book, 50 to 70 percent of the animals were wiped out from the earth when the asteroids hit. We don’t want the polar bears to be extinct also, I mean wouldn’t it be awkward, digging out the bones of polar bear and placing them in the museum? The main reason why the ice is melting is because of global warming. Before we can save the polar bears we have to find a way to stop global warming. We can stop global warming by lessening the use of hot water ant turning off devices that use heat. When we solve this problem we will be able to save polar bears. In the meantime, there are programs that we could sponsor, to save polar bears. If this is accomplished they will be no need of asking, where are the polar bears!!??
