    This article talks about China hoping to reduce poverty by implementing policies to steady birth rates (keeping growth rates under 0.8). This would most likely help China reducing the "growth" but I believe this would not make a significant difference considering China's total population.

    This is a very interesting article about how Chinese economists are going to raise the value of the yuan. It seems that there are outreaching effects in the United States - the exports from China will raise in price and therefore Americans' disposable income will start to decrease.

    For production of some wooden goods, Amazon is in danger. I believe that it is a great example for scarcity. Thus the deforestation will stop when there will be no more forests. However, Brazil is in a significant process of decreasing the rate of deforestation hopefully.

    we should all be responsible as the resources is limited and it's close to impossible to full fill everybody's needs and wants.

    Seeing people death because of the starvation make me really upset. But I am afraid, it does not make many people in the world. If it made, something would change. I agree with you Tiffany, we should be all responsible about that. But the countries which exploited the country of that poor people should be more responsible and should not act nothing happened. They cannot ignore the situation.
