There are several activities that are threatening biodiversity nowadays. Mention the major threats, and explain which one you consider the worst. Present an example of the impact on the structure and function of the system, and highlight one possible social and/or economical consequence of these changes.

I think deforestation is one of them, but I not too sure about the rest. Thank you for helping me out ^^ Appreciated ^^

Goodwill. Do you pass on your unwanted toys, books and clothes to charities so they can be recycled by being passed on or bought by others?

Are Charity Shops the best place to buy Christmas gifts?

How do you pass your unwanted items on in the true spirit of Christmas Goodwill?

Organic strawberries in summer, crisp homegrown autumn apples, roasted chestnuts. Naturally grown food tastes so much better than intensively grown, processed food. Can you argue against your tastebuds?.

Have you noticed all the really great stuff that you remember from magical Christmases were gifts given by nature? Such as Mistletoe? Collecting holly, choosing a tree and people dream about Snow on Christmas Day.

Why does Nature give us the very best Christmas Gifts that are remembered years later?

About Good King Wenceslas:
The song expresses the King's high moral character in describing King Wenceslas braving a fierce storm in order to help feed a poor neighbour.

Last verse:
In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing

Have they been subjected to some clever racist sort of propaganda, aimed at shrinking the Caucasian population? If so, who would produce such propaganda and why would anyone be so foolish to take it seriously?

For instance:

This is more of an answer looking for feedback! Don't pour out standing water! Instead, try pouring a little vegetable oil into standing water were they are breeding. I learned this starting with my dog's water bowl. My neighbor and I added to all the standing pools. In a week you will have no more in your yard! Get the neighbors to join and your block will be free of them!!! If a village in the middle of a swamp did this they would have a mosquito free village! Tell the WHO and UN! Its simple safe and easy!!!

I work for a company which seems to believe that flying around the country on a regular basis is the only option that they have to get our shops (retail company) running properly.

My question is...

Is planting dozens of tree's the best way to go about off setting our emissions? I still believe prevention is better than cure but not everyone believes that this is possible.

What other options do we have? I have heard that the benefit of planting tree's may not be the long term solution as they die and release the carbon again. Is this true?

All my neighbours are right on do gooder lefty types who recycle loads and eat loads of vegetables. I don't recycle anything and go everywhere in my gas guzzling car (even to the corner shop). I smoke, drink beer and I don't like asylum seekers. They are always moaning at me to recycle more and think about "the environment".
What a load of cr ap!! I do what I want to do, I don't stick my nose into their business!!
I don't understand all this fuss about carbon footpad prints or whatever they are. Should I care! Sounds a load of bollockanoes to me.
