Making a Difference
There was an old advertising slogan in the UK: a brand of wood seal proudly stated that ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin.’ What does it say on your tin? Does it say that you’ll wander off into giving tidbit sof the lives of 1950s directors? If I had bought a book advsrtising itself as anecdotes about meeting thes men, this would be perfect. In a narrative about war corresponfgibg, not so much. If you think it’s vital to retain this information, I’d suggest that you revise the stnopsis to make it clear how digressive the book is.

Style:
One of the key distinguisihg features betweeen amateur and prtofessional e-book writers is the use of modifiers. Too many adjectives make sentences indigestible. I suggest removing as many as possible. Reading one’s work aloud will reveal how clunky an over-modified sentence is. Most writers don’t take the trouble to read their work aloud, but the benefits are huge. Excessive amounts of scrap and customer rejects has caused us to recommend three solutions to this. One, a new glue pot at a cost of $6,500. A more favorable solution is repairing the existing glue pot for $1,500 and then to purchase an International Glue
Line Inspection System, the price for this system is $4,000. The new glue line system will decrease scrap and customer rejects by 75 percent. The system will detect breaks in the glue line and ejects defective cartons from the run. If the system detects more than five consecutive rejects, it automatically stops the machine. In the first year of use, the cost savings will exceed $10,000. More than covering the cost of rebuilding the glue pot and the new inspection system.

    Overgrazing is another cause of soil erosion. Overgrazing is where there are more animals existing on a piece of land than the land can maintain. During the process of overgrazing the land losses its grass production and the land becomes bare causing wind and water erosion leaving the soil tainted. The Conservation Stewardship program provides information on how farmers can burn woody plants giving them the means to be able to plant grass seeds that hold water and to be able to manage cattle and move them to another land stopping overgrazing from occurring.…

    The increasing population in this hotspot has made the land become deforested for cultivation and land use by extensive logging. Logging in the steep regions of the Himalayan foothills ultimately leads to major erosion of the land. When trees are cut off, the land becomes bare and unprotected. This makes the earth vulnerable towards wind, water, or glaciers to erode the soil and earth. Another way of deforesting the land is by the use of fire. When people burn down forests, the fire may be uncontrollable, and it will destroy even more natural vegetation. This also encourages erosion of the land, because there is no vegetation cover to protect the earth.…

    One of the largest and most controversial issues we as humans face, includes the protection and preservation of the natural world we call home. When a small group displays the potential to damage or destroy our beautiful land, the task lies with the people to eliminate such a threat. Between the years of 2004-2009, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and others established the Kleercut campaign against Kimberly-Clark in order to prevent the destruction of the Boreal forest (Kleercut campaign, 2009). Kimberly-Clark is the world’s largest manufacturer of tissues; their most prevalent brand being Kleenex. Accusations were made against Kimberly-Clark noting that the virgin fiber used in its product is derived from wood pulp from the ancient trees of the Boreal. Sometime throughout the duration of the Kleercut campaign, an advertisement was released. This “call to action” style ad appealed to all three elements of rhetoric. The Kleercut advertisement, created by Greenpeace, corroborated a firm argument against Kimberly-Clark’s means of production through the textbook balance of logos, pathos, and ethos appeal, and convinced millions to follow its instructions.…
