argues in Caught in the Middle that the solutions to the economic woes of the Midwest lie in increased immigration‚ increased technology development‚ a unified Midwestern think tank and regional voices. Longworth also argues that water‚ more than biofuels is a solution to the Midwest’s problems. H. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the argument (199): One of the primary strengths of Longworth’s argument is accomplished with comparison. Longworth compares Midwestern cities with cities on the

As if these issues are not enough to handle the biofuel industry has also contributed negatively to the preservation on the Argentinean environment (Walter‚ 2009). Sustainability practices are needed to carefully plan the regeneration of the environment after the harm deforestation has accomplished. If

The term globe warming another term for "global warming" is "climate change." refers to the increase in the average temperature of global surface air and oceans since about 1950‚ and to continuing increases in those temperatures. Emissions from human activities have caused this unnatural change. Using the latest computer models‚ and the latest

Since the transportation sector is responsible for a significant fraction of the greenhouse gases emissions‚ substitution of oil derived fuels by biofuels‚ like ethanol‚ could significantly decrease environmental impacts‚ besides providing gains on the socio-economic levels as well. Brazil and the US are the world’s largest bioethanol producers‚ using sugarcane and corn as feedstock‚ respectively. In

The topic I would like to discuss is the Amherst Styrofoam Ban. Several districts have outlawed this product due to new regulations. Styrofoam‚ a common product used at restaurants‚ offices‚ and in packages‚ is a product that is valued for its high insulation capacity and buoyancy. However‚ its negative effects on human health and environment outweigh the benefits and efficiency. Due to its inability to biodegrade‚ the toxins released during its production prompted new policies for a safer environment
