Your Questions About Green Living

Which groups of Society would the government target first to be exterminated?

In a country where people are living longer, being born earlier and population growth is a key concern.

The decision made by China (imposing a limit on the amount of children you can have) backfired as they neglected to take into account that people would choose artificial insemination, which actually increased the population with multiple births.

They now are committed to building 20 new cities to house there ever expanding population.

What action do you thing your government will take in the future to solve this serious problem, which if you ask almost any scientist, they will tell you that they are more concerned about population growth the environmental issues.
Should the government choose to limit the births, then they exterminate the people who never had a chance to be conceived and born.

What do you think about agenda 21.?

World overpopulation, environmental issues, food and water shortages, and those nasty greenhouse gasses, have forced the UN to take control of the world and sign the agenda 21 agreement. At current earth population of 6 billion (which was only 5 billion 8 years ago) there just is not enough farm land to grow enough food. 1/3 of the rain forest has been cut down to provide more food for growing demand. Riots rage in most countries over food shortages. And on the surface Agenda 21 looks like its trying to head in the right direction to control the limited earths remaining resources. But the form of control would require immoral and inhumane destruction of the masses, or most of them in the end. I wondered how the rest of you feel about where this is heading. If there is anything you feel we as humans can possibly do to slow this process to find a different solution to achieve the same goal. China laws require one child per family, but still because there are billions of them, their population climbs and climbs anyway. The U.N. sees this, and thus far 179 countries have signed agenda 21. i’m wondering, now thats its signed, and we begin to dislike the outcome of that signing, if we can ever pull out and demand a different way of achieving the same objective.

What comes next in this debate on FREE TRADE?

I am looking for a rebuttal in this argument over free trade between China and the U.S. This is essentially a debate over whether or not it is wrong for the U.S. to use China to manufacture goods cheaply.

Argument 1: Free trade between the United States and China is beneficial for both countries– it allows U.S. industry to lower manufacturing cost and it has greatly diminished poverty levels in China

Argument 2: The U.S. should issue a moratorium on trade until China changes it’s environmental and labor laws.

Argument 3: ????

I need to get this to school…?

Ch. 35: War and Revolution in China and Vietnam

A – Main Idea: China and Vietnam had to deal with underdevelopment, overpopulation, impoverished people, and environmental degradation on top of the loss of the traditional lives their ancestors had led for thousands of years. This led to revolutions by the indigenous peoples against the imperialistic powers pressing these changes upon them. The European domination of these two countries differed from other colonial conquests because the Chinese and the Vietnamese gained relatively few gains. Instead they were smashed, and left to their own devices to recover. China became a struggle for power, mainly between the military alliance headed by Yuan Shikai, and the wealthy merchants along the coast, a group in which Sun Yat-sen was involved. PUT VIETNAMESE HERE!!!!

Yuan Shikai – Leader of the most powerful military clique in northern China.

But I have no flash drive or anything. Help?!?!

Will America’s environmental efforts even matter?

If China and India do not help? A relative went to China, and he came back with all kinds of respiratory issues after he breathed the air in Shanghai.
They’re building coal power plants left and right.
Jim, If you live in the west coast, your life has not improved, as pollution from China is reaching the west coast (proven fact).
