Ebola: 'We're at an absolute tipping point,' warns David Miliband | World news | The Gu... - 2 views

  • “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.”

Can coffee stimulate renewable energy in Central America? | Global Development Professi... - 1 views

  •  
    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.
