Ruth asks…
If you were to do a project on one of the following environmental issues, which would it be and why?
Rain Forest challenges in Brazil
Desertification/human interactions in the Sudan
Industrial pollution and human challenges in China
Global warming and potential effects in the South pacific islands
Waterways, ecosystems, and human challenges within Cambodia
Drought, poverty, and politics in North Korea.
The Expert answers:
No global warming, pleaseeee.. If I have to read or hear about another global warming paper.. I’m going to die. =D
I’ve had to do some environmental papers recently and I would say that if I could choose between those I might do…
Rain forest challenges in Brazil
Because it’s always great to talk about ecosystems and preseving them…
Or Industrial polluion and human challenges in China
Because they are a ton of topics to mention!! (This is probably your best bet if you want to write a lot and find a lot of good research)
or Desertification/human interactions in the Sudan
because I love anthropology and the ecosystem combined <333

Need help with current environmental issues?
I have to put together some case studies for my AS course Environmental Studies. I thought we were doing 3 and got those done in not time at all so I could enjoy my holiday, now it turns out we’re doing 10.
Basically, the names of any environmental issue (excluding the BP oil spill, China oil spill, Indonesian land slide, Russian forest fires, Niger Floods, Pakistan Floods, and the eruption of Mt Sinabung) would be pure gold. You don’ t need to explain them in great detail, I’m willing to do the leg work, but just finding some current issues is getting really tough since I’ve run out of ideas.
Thanks to everyone who helps! x
The Expert answers:
– You could talk about generally how the Co2 levels have risen over the years and how this is affecting water levels and weather.

– South-East Asia: China Flexes Hydropower Muscle – http://www.globalissues.org/news/2010/08/27/6757
I did some research and found this site that the 2 above are from. Hope its helps you build up ur case studies 🙂
Richard asks…
I am writing a college paper on AT&T’s business in China. Is there someone at AT&T I can interview?
What comparative advantage does AT&T have by operating in China? Are their any environmental issues or concerns.
The Expert answers:
AT&T has a few offices in China thus far. The source link below has a bit of interesting info and may point you in a different direction. It is suggested you conduct interviews via email. Direct your inquiries to Marketing or HR. As for giving you someone’s name, sorry – i suggest you focus on their Beijing or Shanghai offices for accurate responses in English. Good luck!
Laura asks…
If the United States took radical actions to deal with environmental issues…?
but China, Russia, India and most of Africa took NO actions to adapt…
would the US’s efforts be in vain?
Baccheus – I don’t disagree, but that isn’t the question.
The Expert answers:
No, we’d just become another third world country, and like all the other third world countries in the world, we’d live in a far more polluted and unpleasant place.
Mark asks…
Do You Check Ethical Problems of Manufacturers Before You Source Products from China?
Low labour costs and high profits, but make sure there are no ethical problems, such as use of child labour and workers suffer with daily exposure to the environmental issues. Most companies are looking for low labour costs in order to be competitive, but are keen to avoid unethical exploitation of workers. We take these issues very seriously, and take great care to recommend only organisations with high ethical standards. We are also advising and encouraging British companies to check ethical problems of manufacturers in China, before they source or manufacture products from China.
The Expert answers:
11/20 (AP): “A labor rights group alleged Tuesday that crucifixes sold in religious gift shops in the U.S. Are produced under “horrific” conditions in a Chinese factory with more than 15-hour work days and inadequate food.”
Your question is funny, because of the forum in which you asked it. The vast majority of people here on Yahoo Answers are “shoppers” from China. They buy a handful of items here and there from vendors they find on Alibaba.com. The LAST thing on their mind are social compliance issues.
Most “shoppers” from China and even true importers never do ANY due diligence of their China suppliers, much less a social audit.
If you are advertising your social audit services, then don’t waste your time on Yahoo Answers. You will get no business here. Stick to search marketing (e.g. Google adwords) and networking.
