In February 2014‚ President Obama signed into law the Agricultural Act of 2014‚ a 10-year‚ $956B bill‚ of which close to 15% annually will go to row crop subsidies.

boiler Since the late 1800s‚ the use of strip mining to extract coal from the earth has left scars on land and led to land erosion. Unabated erosion leads to toxic chemical seepage in streams and other water bodies‚ which destroys wildlife habitats. While some coal mining companies currently work to rehabilitate land destroyed by mining‚ mining continues to lead to more erosion and pollution. Mercury and Other Pollutants Like other fossil fuels‚ coal-burning boilers emit dangerous pollutants including

Trees give us shade‚ medicine‚ food‚ fruits‚ furniture‚ fuel etc. Trees also keep the weather cool and cause rainfall. They also bind soil and thus prevent erosion. The land of Bangladesh is suitable for the plantation of different kinds of trees. Trees can be planted in the vast areas of sea beaches. Both sides of the roads and railways offer great scope for planting trees. The villagers can make the best
