  • “One of the things that has become starkly clear to me in my visit is that there’s no grey area here between controlling the disease on the one hand and widespread disaster on the other. We’re at an absolute tipping point where either the disease is contained to the low tens of thousands, or it becomes an epidemic of a very serious kind.”

      Ebola is out of control and threatens 3 countries and immediately 15 others. 
  • Professor Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it would not have been difficult to contain the outbreak if those on the ground and the UN had acted promptly earlier this year. “Something that is easy to control got completely out of hand,” said Piot, who was part of a team that identified the causes of the first outbreak of Ebola in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1976 and helped bring it to an end.

  • Dr Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in evidence to Congress, said he was confident the outbreak would be checked in the US, but stressed the need to halt the raging west African epidemic. “There are no shortcuts in the control of Ebola and it is not easy to control it. To protect the United States we need to stop it at its source,” he said.

    The event that I chose is about the coffee as renewable energy. Even though its the second valuable commodity its an environmental impact because they're cutting down the plantations. This helps the people with money but doesn't help the environment, there will be less oxygen for humans. Farmers and people who exports the coffee are involved in this problem.One of the opnion was that "Coffee waste water generates a considerable amount of greenhouse gases, particularly methane. However, this same waste water is rich in organic matter, which can be harnessed to generate biogas via anaerobic decomposition."

    Nobody disagrees about the coffee as the renewable energy. Mostly all the people say that its a correct thing to do. In the future we should cut some trees but also plant some of the seeds we cut from.
