Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining
different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces
the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect
the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarder to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most developed societies, visiting exotic
places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognized this fact and are
learning to take advantage of it.
There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some local’s tourists as an
easy prey because not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items
of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One
carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which
resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for
example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourist and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.
There are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing it self to an extensive tourism development program.

themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of the ethics and values learned for as long as 12 years.

The process of global warming and the destructive nature of wildfires have created a deadly cycle in which one constantly contributes
to the other. Forest fires and global warming have created a dangerous relationship. The link between these two forces has become clear in
recent years. As the climate become warmer, the forest will become drier, spawning the perfect environment for fires. In addition, as forest
fires continue and gain intensity, the trees release more carbon into the atmosphere which contributes to the greenhouse effect and which
therefore causes global warming.
The increase in forest fires can now be seen as a factor which contributes to global warming, trees, in the carbon cycle, are labeled a
“sink” or a store for carbon. The ability of trees to store carbon dioxide has helped to reduce an amount of CO2 that is pumped into the
atmosphere. But, now that more trees are being burned through increased forest fires, this stored carbon is being released and the CO2
becomes part of greenhouse gasses that drive the greenhouse effect. So we believe that extra fires intensify global warming. Furthermore,
carbon is released in the decomposition of the trees after the fire. There is no doubt that global warming and forest fires are linked to rising
temperature.
Global warming is a process which has been occurring for years and whose effects have been more intensively felt by all of living
creatures. Forest fires have also been recorded for years, but as mentioned they are a natural process. Therefore, it would be reasonable to
attack global warming first. Much work has been done already to solve this problem. Some plans to reduce greenhouse gasses emissions,
such as Kyoto Protocol has been in place for years, but they have shown little results.
Some experts who care about global warming say that the solutions must start at home. People, who suffer from the immediate
effect of global warming, must realize that most of their day to day activities contribute to climate change. But, reducing what is called a
“carbon footprint” is not difficult. It can be as easy as changing travel methods, instead of driving to school or working every day, biking or
walking. Or it can be as easy as buying an energy efficient appliance or switching the lights off in rooms which are not being used.
Leadership for ordinary people is what it will take to fight against global warming. People must educate each other on these
harmful effects and make them known. But, this process will continue to damage forests around the word unless something is done to reduce
the effects of global warming.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several things that we can do. One of them is by buying and
consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It, of course, includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less
than the groceries from another region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to
freeze up. It means that no electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.
