The deforestation will affect the change of the global climate‚ the agriculture and water supply. Water scarcity will cause food scarcity‚ and all this will lead to high food prices‚ thus causing economic and political instability‚ especially in the developing countries. In order to have a sustainable development‚ we will have to replace our fossil-fuel-based system with a global renewable-energy-based

There are only five platonic solids and the name of each shape comes from the number of faces it has.The five platonic solids are tetrahedron‚ octahedron‚ cube‚ icosahedron‚ and dodecahedron. Each solid is made of regular polygons and the polygons of each solid are congruent. The topics that will be discussed in this paper are what are the five platonic solids‚ who classified the five shapes‚ their key features‚ the shapes similarities and differences‚ and examples in real life.
