In the video “How Wolves Change Rivers” we are given the impression that the introduction to Wolves in Yellowstone caused a chain of events to occur. This chain of events includes, the growing of more grassland and willow trees, occurring because the deer population spends more of its time hiding. The introduction to the willow trees results in the increase population of the beavers. Since more trees and grasses were growing this strengthened the river banks which led to less flooding. All of this occurred, but did it occur because of the introduction to the wolves in Yellowstone? Or was it just a coincidence that these events started occurring around the time the wolves happened to show up? According to the article “Is the Wolf a real American Hero?” by Arthur Middleton, a study published in 2010, mentions that trees hadn’t begin to grow back even though the elk (deer) population decreased by 60%.…

A world driven by a democracy. This seams unlikely in the world at it's present condition, which is filled with a wide variety of cultures and people. But if it was possible, I would abolish the various forms of government that seem to cause many of the problems, and replace them with a democracy. There are many aspects to be considered before such a transformation can take place. The place that democracy holds in national governments, forms of government it would replace, and things that would result of this transition.…
In addition, the world would be a better place if each of us has enough knowledge to know what we’re doing toward our living-environment. If we use and control reasonably our natural resources, our surroundings wouldn’t be polluted like that. The blame for increasingly polluted environment today lies entirely in us.

The root of earth destruction began when trees in forest were cut down. Tree is our main supplier of oxygen and they lessen the carbon dioxide in the environment that makes the earth cool.

As a result, landslides, strong typhoons and abnormal weather condition are happening to us today. One of the evidence also of earth is the pollutants in the air and water that makes people sick of hard to heal disease such as cancer. We could see this abuse on earth but ironically we are not doing something about it. Yet the worst, we are focusing on economic growth to the point that we disregard the nature.…

With the population increasing the waste produced is also increasing and so is the pollution causing massive changes in the environment.…

Of all the problems facing the environment today, global warming is the biggest and most serious problem that we need to take care of.

As a result, temperature rises.…
