Essay on Environmental Issues and Green Technology help?
I’m writing an essay. In general it’s about environmental issues. I wanted to do it on Green Technology like Eco friendly technology but i dont know how to start and everything. like should i say the world needs help, blah blah blah,, scientist invent eco friendly technology to help..
but what should i do for the body paragraphs..?
10 points best answer. Please help!!!
You could write a separate paragraph on different aspects of it. For example:-
a) an introductory paragraph about WHY we need to be more environmentally aware, i.e. non-renewable resources will eventually run out. Greenhouse gases cause climate change, consumer lifestyle and expansion thereof causes widespread destruction of natural biomes.
b)a paragraph on recycling, what it involves and how it helps.
c)a paragraph on energy generation. coal/gas/nuclear vs renewables such as solar/hydro etc.
and carry on from there. Maybe talk about how more environonmentally friendly technology is being developed as you suggested. Just anything else you can think of. It’d probably help to add a little bit of a conclusion too, just to summarise.

Austin sounds good!
Muskogee, Oklahoma
1. Bad street maintenance
2. Rediculously long ride on public transportation for such a small city(Call a taxi though, it’s a little more expensive, but quicker. And it pays my bills! DRIVER 61 RULES!!)
3. Too many payday loan companies (legal loan sharks-stay away from them! If you don’t have the money, YOU DON’T NEED IT! They will own you if you use them.)
4. Too many temp services, not enough employers direct hiring. Results in lower paying jobs and no benefits for a town full of people who can barely get by.
5. Too many retail stores going up. We already have a mall, we don’t need any more stores that most of the population of Muskogee cannot afford to shop at. Sure, they bring more jobs, but see #4. The ppl who work there cant afford to shop there.
6. The stoplights on 32nd St./US 69. THEY SUCK! pack a picnic lunch for your wait for a green light.
7. The Union Pacific Railroad. They like to park across the road and hop out for a sandwich or a drink at the “triangle”, (an area that has about 4 bars and a large liquor store in a 3 block radius) and laugh at all the cars that back up waiting to get to the eastside. There are only 3 ways to get past them, all involving turning about and crossing congested Main St. traffic and doubling back to get to the bypass or two narrow bridges that are also backed up. By the time you get around, the train has moved and you wasted time and gas. Not to mention the all night noise of them loading and unloading and hooking up and unhooking train cars, sounds like bombs going off sometimes.
8. Pretty Hospital, they just built on to it and renovated it, it is alot bigger and very expensive looking. But you still have to wait at least 8 hours for ER care. More room and prettier surroundings does not equal more healthcare personel. I drive to Wagoner for all my needs. Tiny Hospital, but you are never there for more than 3 hours.
9. Super Wal Mart built right down the road from me now. Need I say more.
10. Tweakers, crackheads and slumlords. Oh my!
Lecture 10: Role of National Courts and Laws
Through 2007, Vietnamese economic market trends indicated that civilian aircraft and industrial rubber were the leading imported products, while cotton apparel and home furnishings topped the exports list. This trend has apparently started changing somewhat with the conclusion of 2008. According to Daniel Workman in his article “Top Vietnamese Exports and Imports”, at the end of the 4th quarter, the trends now appear as follows:
Top 5 Fastest-growing export categories:
- iron and steel mill products (semi-finished)
- plywood and wood veneers
- diamonds – both uncut and unset
- appliances – household and kitchen
- DVD players, televisions, and assorted video equipment
Top 5 Fastest-growing import categories:
- nuts
- industrial rubber products
- copper
- soybeans
- assorted non-ferrous (non-iron) metals
The Stage is Set for Profitable Imports
Despite the global economy and the US financial markets experiencing considerable turbulence in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2008, Vietnam managed to exceed $10 billion (USD) in exports to the US by the end of October (2008). This equaled the total of the entire prior year (2007). Current speculation is that 2009 will see an increase over the prior year that could reach 15%.
Conversely, current numbers indicate that US exports alone into the Vietnamese market are approaching the $1.5 billion mark. Does this indicate that exporting products into Vietnam’s market would be a profitable and viable opportunity for other companies and countries besides the United States? Absolutely. Here are some key considerations concerning this growing economic market:
- Population: 86,116,559 – 13th most populous country in the world (57% of the entire population is below the age of 30)
- GDP Real Growth Rate: 8.48%
- GDP percentage by economic sector: Agriculture – 19.4%, Construction and Industry – 42.3%, and Services – 38.3%
- Principal exports: crude oil, electronic components and products, fishery products, footwear, and garments and textiles
- Principal imports: equipment and replacement parts for machinery, refined petroleum, steel, textile industry cloth and materials
Export Opportunities
According to the US Commercial Service based in Hanoi, there are a number of potentially profitable
for other countries yet to be investigated. For those companies and countries interested in entering this expanding Southeast Asian market, here is a list of the 10 most lucrative sectors of the Vietnamese economy:
- Airport and ground support equipment
- Computer hardware and software services
- Education and training
- Environmental technologies (pollution control equipment)
- Franchise opportunities
- Gas, oil, and petroleum machinery and related services
- Medical equipment and supplies
- Power distribution and transmission
- Safety and security equipment
- Telecommunications equipment and related services
These are some of the best export opportunities in Vietnam.
