IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS Introduction Trees are mankind lifeline. If they are destroyed‚ there is no way that human beings can survive. From the oxygen that we breathe in‚ the food that we eat‚ to the clothes we wear‚ we owe it all to the trees. Not only this‚ trees act as purifiers of air and receptacles of our waste products. Trees have great economic value too. We get fuel‚ fodder‚ timber‚ medicines and numerous other valuable products from the trees. It is‚ therefore‚ not surprising that trees

Four ways to kill best practise. As a consultant all too often I hear the phrase “best practise” thrown around. This comes from the clients that hire us and even worse from my fellow consultants. Clients‚ especially those in large enterprises full of hierarchy‚ rules and rigid structure‚ feel the need to follow this dangerously linear way of thinking as a means to justify change. Consultants use this as a way to dress up old rope and sell it for new prices. Not all best practise methods are useless

man’s debt is cancelled when they die‚ so Indian farmers are committing suicide so that their families don’t have to suffer * Europe is discussed – they have rules and regulations where they halt the growing of GM crops‚ and there is cross-pollination between a GM farm and a non-GM farm‚ the GM farm is liable for economic damage to neighbouring non-GM farms if they are contaminated with GM material * I think this is a sensible approach‚ but unfortunately in North America it is the opposite

economics reporter on the economic value of honeybees on Thursday 23rd April 2009 pasted that; Honey Bees keep the world alive "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then Man would only have four years of life left. No more Bees‚ no more Pollination‚ no more Plants‚ no more Animals‚ no more man‚ this remark is often attributed to Albert Einstein‚ but few scientists now believe this doomsday scenario will actually happen. Nevertheless‚ the apocalyptic vision is an indication of how important

Tracing Overpopulation Through the Historiographical Methods of Dr. Paul Ehrlich from the 1960’s to the 1990’s Tracing Overpopulation Through the Historiographical Methods of Dr. Paul Ehrlich from the 1960’s to the 1990’s While driving through the overpopulated streets of Delhi‚ India‚ Paul Ehrlich noticed just how many people were in the world. It took his family a couple of hours just to travel a short distance through the city. Take into consideration

A flower‚ sometimes known as a bloom or blossom‚ is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta‚ also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction‚ usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores

on the first true leafs of each RCBr left. Day 35: Plants were pollinated with bee sticks‚ five 11-15 trichrome plants were cross pollinated with one 16-20 trichrome plant and with one 21-25 trichrome plant. Day 49: twenty days after the last pollination‚ plants were removed from the watering system and allowed to dry for five days. The seeds were then harvested by gently rolling dry seed pods between a pair of hands over a collecting pan. The seeds were transferred to new growing containers and

on humans‚ but little to no result has yet to show of those released to the population. A stronger argument is that of how the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are affecting the environment through natural transgenic methods such as cross-pollination. With more research and cautious testing genetically engineered produce could launch us into a new age of prosperity. Many wonder where this world of what seems to be out of a Science fiction movie has come from. We’ve altered the plants and
