    Although this is a very short article it touches on the fact that child abuse is related to poverty and teenage/child prostitution.  If a child is working as a prostitute then he/she obviously does not have time for a formal education!

      The Economic Statisitics of Kansas breaks down the monetary and employment status of people living in Kansas. Futhermore these numbers aid in the understanding of why so many people live in poverty globally. The average family of four living in Kansas makes less than 10, 000 dollars a year annually. The Kansas Economic stats break down even further and will show the poverty levels in Manhattan and surrounding towns.

globalwarming nuclear power

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached
  • Nuclear power remains dangerous, polluting, expensive and non-renewable. More nuclear power means more nuclear weapons proliferation, more nuclear-armed states, more potential "dirty bombs" and more targets for terrorists. It also means less resources invested in real solutions to growing energy demands.
  • If we would replace all fossil fuels with nuclear power, the world would run out of uranium in less than four years.
  • Currently, nuclear is a marginal energy source, supplying only two percent of the world energy demand, and there is no realistic scenario in which this could be significantly increased.
  • bmoran on 28 May 07
     
    Although nuclear power seems to be an option, this article claims that, with our current technology and resources, it is a non-renewable option that will promote, rather than solve, problems concerning global warming, nuclear arms proliferation, etc.

globalwarming ozone power refrigeration solar

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached
  • When the dramatic discovery of the ozone hole in 1986 forced the banning of chlorofluorocarbons  (CFCs), the refrigeration industry switched to hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HCFC¹s are also ozone depleting substances but less so than CFCs. Meanwhile, both HCFCs and HFCs are potent greenhouse gasses.
  • Greenfreeze uses hydrocarbons as the blowing agent for the insulation foam and for the refrigerant. Hydrocarbons are completely ozone friendly, and used in refrigeration have minimal global warming impact.Hydrocarbon technology is not dependent on patented foaming agents and refrigerants. The operating costs are lower, and the maintenance is easier than with HCFC or HFC technology.
