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.

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

I need to know about a recent environmental issue in Hungary?
I have to write a newspaper article for Hungary so it would be preferred if it had more information. It needs to be recent like less than a year ago.
A website including information would be fantastic as well.

Rainforests, by virtue of their abundant renewable natural resources, have for timeless periods provided the humankind with amenities for survival and well being, including food, clothing, fuel, condiments, products of industrial use, and even remedies for ailments. The loss of rainforests has an intense and overwhelming consequence.
The rainforests house the Earth’s richest biological resources. Almost half of the world’s biodiversity will be extinct or severely endangered in the next few years if this rainforest deforestation continues. Approximately ten million aboriginal people lived in the rainforests of the Amazon basin five centuries ago. Today the numbered has dwindled to less than 200,000. Along with the loss of the native tribes, their vast knowledge of medicinal uses of the diverse herbs of the rainforests is also gone irrevocably.
Alkaloids are abundant in the rainforest plants. Many such alkaloids have long-established medicinal use. 121 prescription drugs sold all over the world at present are derived from plant-parts. The plants in the rainforests are the sources of about 25% of pharmaceuticals used in the Western countries. But most of these plants are yet to be analyzed by biologists for their active ingredients and potential uses.
It has been found that more species of birds reside in a single biosphere reserve in Peru than the whole United States. Forty three ant species was found on one single tree in Peru. This number approximately equals the number of species of ants in the British Isles. The number of species of fish in the Amazon River surpasses the number found in the total Atlantic Ocean. These figures bear proof to the astounding biodiversity of the Amazonian rainforests. Accordingly, the loss of even one acre of tropical rainforest transpires to the loss of a staggering amount of plant, animal and microorganism species, along with the loss of their possible uses.
It is possible that cutting down the rainforest may result in losing the potential cure for cancer or AIDS that might have been discovered in an untested or unknown plant from the forest. So in every sense, the wealth offered by the intact rainforest exceeds by far the value of the supplies obtained when the trees are felled for industrial purposes.
Save the rain forest!
