A Greener World

while the humanity is depending on cutting forest tree to produce the papers so it is everyone's responsibility to learn how to help the government in paper's recycling procedures. In general all kinds of recycling have an efficiency of reducing the land fill. The recycled papers are used in many of the industrial fields and for many purposes. I think that all the countries which have developed  paper recycling system are green more than the other countries.  

Kyoto Protocol

I believe that kyoto protocol is very important to maintain the agreements of minimizing the greenhouse gas emissions from all countries which are included in this protocol. Extending the life of this protocol will give a good chance to the nature to heal itself. Having more countries included in this protocol will decrease the rates of pollution gases release. I think that governments can't delay only on the scientist to find the way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions but they should decide to control and minimize it with all available ways.     

SOLAR TAXI

I think that a solar taxi is a good solution to reduction of carbon dioxide released from cars and vehicles. By using the Solar Taxis, A good chance will be given to the planet to recover from the increase of harmful gases. In my opinion the invention of the solar taxi attracted scientists curiosity toward the environment changes. On the other hand this will give more ideas for other scientists to invent new instruments that help to reduce the increase in pollution levels. Using the solar taxi widely will help to reduce current sources of energy.

Immigration To Australia, 1992 & 2002

By comparing the immigration to Australia between 1992 & 2002 the graph shows that in 2002 there was a significant increase in number of immigrants from Oceania and Africa. On the other hand, it is shown that in the same year  there was some decrease in number of immigrants from all other nationalities comparing with 1992. In general the number of immigrants in 2002 was lower than in 1992 with a difference of 18472 immigrants.
