In 1800, there were 2.9 billion hectares of tropical forest worldwide. There are 1.5 billion hectares of tropical forest remaining. Almost 65% of Central America has been cleared to create pastureland for grazing cattle Rainforest land cleared for pasture or farming degrades quickly and is usually abandoned. At least 42 million acres of tropical forest are lost each year, approximately 100 acres/minute. Between 1960-1990, 445 million hectares of tropical forest were cleared. We lose 50 species every day 2 species per hour due to tropical deforestation.
Causes of Hunger
Marc J. Cohen and Don Reeves
The persistence of hunger in a world of plenty is the most profound moral contradiction of our age. Nearly 800 million people in the developing world (20 percent of the total population) are chronically undernourished. At least 2 billion suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Yet since the mid-1970s the world has produced enough food to provide everyone with a minimally adequate diet.
Causes of Hunger
Hunger is one piece of a complex of interrelated social ills. It is linked intricately to global economic, political, and social power structures; modes of development and consumption; population dynamics; and social biases based on race, ethnicity, gender, and age.
care from the family. Strategies to care for the increasing number of aged over the next 25 years need to be developed.
Conclusion
The world community has both the knowledge and the resources to eliminate hunger. Putting these tools to work requires us to ground our choicessmall and large, individual and collective, political and economicin ethical values, including empowerment and justice, stewardship of common resources for the common good, and affirmation of diversity.

one or all of these areas (housing, healthcare, education, jobs and a certain quality of life) must suffer. . overcrowding. a number of people living on the street
Here are some suggested answers. There could be others! The greater the population, the more natural resources are burnt up and, consequently the more pollution is created. A city crowded with people leads to roads crawling with cars. Cities face a number of problems which are due to overcrowding. The consequence of too dense a population is overcrowding. In a city light, heat, transport and food must all be supplied artificially as we are living a life removed from nature. One effect of living on the street is that drug abuse and crime rates rise. We are part of an unhealthy, consumerist and throwaway society, which creates an environmental crisis. Owing to being over-crowded, Britains main cities all have a number of people living on the street.
What the reasons behind the establishment of the the UAE Marriage Fund, and what have been its effects? Getting married in the UAE can be very expensive. To help solve this problem, the Marriage Fund organization was set up by the UAE government to help Emiratis get married and to try to reduce the number of marriages to non-nationals. This essay will describe why it was set up and how effective it has been. There are two main reasons why the government decided to spend money on weddings in the UAE. The first reason is expense. A typical wedding can cost hundreds of thousands of dirhams for receptions, jewellery, wardrobe, and money paid to the brides family. As a result, many young
couples are in debt, or have huge bank loans, and this in turn can lead to stress and strain in the marriage. At one time, almost 80% of loans in the UAE were for marriage expenses. More worrying for the government than the expense was the fact that Emirati men were marrying non-nationals. This was because of lower costs, but it lead to cultural problems within the marriage. Many Emiratis felt such marriages weakened their society. The Marriage Fund has been quite effective. Over 44,000 weddings have taken place since 1992. The percentage of marriage to non-nationals dropped from 64% to 26%, which has also decreased the number of unmarried Emirati women. More importantly, marriages have started more securely, without the pressure of huge borrowings. Overall, although weddings are still expensive affairs in the UAE, the Marriage Fund has been very successful in reducing costs and in strengthening traditional family bonds.
Essay: Telecommuting
This is a cause and effect essay on telecommuting
Telecommuting will have major effects in the worlds of work and family life . However, its biggest effect will be in the area of individual freedom, responsibility, and time management. Work and workplaces will alter dramatically. Offices may become smaller, as fewer desks are needed. There will be greater need for high-bandwidth connections to link the office and the home, and even homes to other homes, as other employees and supervisors also begin working at home. Hours spent commuting, traffic jams, and fights for parking should diminish, as workers make fewer journeys or work staggered hours. Family life will also change. Workers, both husbands and wives, can arrange their work around family commitments such as taking children to school, cooking, leisure activities, etc. However, households will also have to set aside areas for work particularly if both spouses are telecommuting. However, although the ideas of more time at home and less time traveling are attractive, there are some drawbacks to telecommuting. People may feel unable to escape their work, and may even work longer or more unsocial hours. The quality of work may suffer because of the reduced face-to-face interaction with other employees. There may be delays if other workers are not immediately available. Telecommuters may feel isolated or unmotivated, or insecure about decisions. A major change will be in the way people think about work as a place or an institution. Instead, they will focus on the task or product. Workers may feel less loyal to a company and more inclined to change jobs or work part-time or on contract.
In conclusion, the effects are difficult to predict because they depend on the extent to which telecommuting becomes popular. However, telecommuting could be the start of a major societal shift, possibly as big as the Industrial Revolution which created our present ideas of work.
