Crop circle

  A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat，barley , rye , maize , or rapeseed.     Formations usually appear overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. Various theories have been put forth ranging from natural phenomena and man-made hoaxes, to the paranormal and even animals. While it is not known how all crop circles are formed, the most likely theory is that all of them were made by hoaxers.     

 Some cereologists have suggested that crop circles are the result of extraordinary meteorological phenomena ranging from freak tornadoes to ball lightning, but there is no evidence of any crop circle being created by any of these causes.    Since becoming the focus of widespread media attention in the 1980s, crop circles have become the subject of speculation by various paranormal , ufological , and anomalistic investigators ranging from proposals that they were created by bizarre meteorological phenomena to messages from extraterrestrial beings .

Researchers of crop circles have linked modern crop circles to old folkloric tales, to support the claim that they are not artificially produced. Circle crops are culture-dependant: they appear mostly in Western countries and Japan, but they don't appear at all in Muslim countries.     There are many mysteries in this world, and many of them still cannot find the answer. 

  I think this is one of the reason to make people fascinated with the truth of the explore nature. 

Overpopulation

 China has the highest population in the world, encompassing 1.2 billion or twenty one percent of the world's population. China faces serious social and economic problems associated with overpopulation in the years to come. China's population control policy. The Chinese government has used several methods to control population growth.

  In fact, although China has a population control policy, but still have many families have more than 1 child. Especially in some areas, no matter people rich or not, they want more child for carry on the family line or labor to feed the family. This is very normal in the society, government cannot stop this and some get the profit from the families, and they have many ways to avoid the census.

  When I’m in middle school, most of my classmates are Teochew people. Most of them have more than one sister or brother, because they are rich and tradition. The one reason is the culture, in the past, parents wants to have a boy, because when the boy grow up he can take care of the family. In the rural areas, boy means labour, can help the family to earn money. Another reason is, every family only have one child, the children will feel alone when they grow up, it lead to some problems of the teenage in China society right now.

  

Sustainable development

  Sustainable development (SD) is a pattern of economic growth in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come, Environment, Local people, Future.
  Nowadays environmental problems is more and more seriously, not only in environment but also in economic. There are some kinds of way we can do and improve for the SD.
  For the individuals, firstly, we can use electricity and water saving appliances at home.  Secondly, recycle waste, and do not litter. Thirdly, take public transport, walk and cycle. I can feel that in my country more and more people prefer to take underground or walk, it’s a good trend for people to live a green life. On the other hand, the pressure of transport will also bring an environmental problem.
  For the companies, design and use equipment in factories and offices that consume less energy and water. Reduce packaging and recycle waste, by recycling and minimising waste, companies can help to conserve Singapore's precious resources. Research and use new technologies to save energy and water and reduce pollution.
  For the government, the government will reduce the energy and water consumption of government buildings, such as by installing more energy efficient systems and increasing indoor air-con temperatures. Enhance education and encourage people combine to protect the environment.
  SD will be a long way to go, but if we have confidence to solve it, the earth will recover her own appearance.

Review of the Cove

  Through research, as one of the world's largest whaling nation, total whaler Japan in the Pacific Ocean more than 1,000 vessels. Under the guise of scientific investigation, every Antarctica in summer, Japan will be dispatched whaling team, killing hundreds of whales for "research".
  The face of accusation, Japan says they has thousands of years of whaling history, fresh whale is an integral part of Japanese food culture. In fact,Japan has very few people support this bloody tradition. Japanese whaling is difficult to give up whale meat brought huge profits.
  Today, Japan is still bribe small countries with money, poor, attack the ban on commercial whaling.
  After watch the video, most of us will feel sad, anger. We want to know is, all of these problems behind, must have profits, political, speech control. Any we thought civilization or beautiful country, may have this problem. Appropriate hunting is the need for human survival, but excessive hunting is inhuman, the balanced of the earth need every single life to maintain. Start from yourself, do not eat wildlife, not spending about harming to animals. Save the whales, it also saves ourself.

Review of South Park Whale Wars

  Whaling in Japan might have begun as early as the 12th century. During the 20th century, Japan was heavily involved in commercial whaling until the International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on commercial whaling went into effect in 1986. These hunts are a source of conflict between pro- and anti-whaling countries and organizations. Nations, scientists and environmental organizations opposed to whaling consider the Japanese research program to be unnecessary at best and a thinly disguised commercial whaling operation at worst. Japan maintains that annual whaling is sustainable and necessary for scientific study and management of whale stocks.
  I believed every single life have their values to exist in the world, to keep the balanced of the world. Even achieve profit is the most important things to a country, but only follow the rules of the natural can achieve more than profits. An orgy of unrestrained whale hunting, had already sent many species to the brink of extinction. Environmental groups, lobbied hard to stop the whale killing. Japan had killed whales in the name of science, although the meat they take ends up on dinner tables.
  Killing of whales and dolphins by the Japanese is gradually increases. The video shows that we must do something to stop it. It is not only in Japan but also in other places, people should be conscious of what they did. There are no excuse to killing the life just for achieve profits. Even it is not easy to stop it, but some organization should take action to stop and publicize to people. Every life exists in the world is related to the earth, if we destroy the balanced between earth, we will kill our life in the end.

Pollution

Internet source:

  Definition of pollution: Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light.  Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.

  Forms of pollution: 

Air pollution: - release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere.

 Light pollution: - includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.

 Littering: - the criminal throwing of inappropriate man-made objects, unremoved, onto public and private properties.



Noise pollution: - which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar.



Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage.



  Radioactive contamination , resulting from 20th century activities in atomic physics , such as nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons research, manufacture and deployment.



  Thermal pollution, is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence, such as use of water as coolant in a power plant.



  Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash, municipal solid waste or space debris.



  Water pollution, by the discharge of wastewater from commercial and industrial waste (intentionally or through spills) into surface waters; discharges of untreated domestic sewage, and chemical contaminants, such as chlorine, from treated sewage; release of waste and contaminants into surface runoff flowing to surface waters (including urban runoff and agricultural runoff, which may contain chemical fertilizers and pesticides); waste disposal and leaching into groundwater; eutrophication and littering.

  Effects to human health: Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease , cardiovascular disease , throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion . Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries. Oil spills can cause skin irritations and rashes. Noise pollution induces hearing loss , high blood pressure , stress , and sleep disturbance . Mercury has been linked to developmental deficits in children and neurologic symptoms.

  Environment is related to our life all the time. More and more natural disaster happened, and people still destroy the earth.If we do not do something,we will lost our home one day.People should improve their aware of save earth and every single things can good for environment.
