Global Warming is an important ecological issue. It has problems upon our environment. Many people hear about it, but less people know what it exactly means. However, It is mainly caused by the greenhouses. In this essay I will briefly talk about the problems and solutions of the Global Warming.
Lets first talk about the problems. For starters , one notable concern is with regard to green house gas emissions. To clarify, “The increase of greenhouse gas concentration (mainly carbon dioxide) led to a substantial warming of the earth and the sea” (juerg). Another point to consider is with cutting tree. In other words, the trees that convert our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we're using the land that we cut the trees down from as property for our homes and buildings (library.thinkquest.org). Another problem I forget to mention it is with the way we use our lands. For example, There are many modern agriculture practices for human consumption which can lead to release the main two greenhouse gases.
Having looked at the problems now lets turn our attention to the global warming solutions. The first solution is to plant trees in yards and local parks because the trees convert the CO2 to oxygen Like Leonard said in his report: “ planting trees in those parking lots would also help eliminate the "hot spots" that create detrimental clouds of carbon dioxide” (Leonard 64). Another solution to consider is to buy compact fluorescent lights bulb. to illustrate, using fluorescent lights bulbs can only consume 5 watt comparing with the normal lights which consume 25 watt and these lights can reduce CO2 emissions and these lights can last from 5 to 15 times longer than the normal lights. Yet another solution to consider is with your transportation. For example you can walk or you can ride the bus and you may Drive a fuel-efficient car
and avoid using cars for unnecessary trips.
In brief, taking into account all that I have mentioned regarding global warming problems and solutions, I think this is really serious problem because it affect us all and we have to find other ways to keep our environment clean.

Diamonds
Diamonds are very valuable materials in the world. Everyone likes to own some of them for several proposes. In this topic I will briefly talk about where they come from and how people misuse them .
The main places for processing diamonds are in India, Israel and New York. The diamonds are evaluated, cut and sold are there. The biggest diamond mining company in the world is De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd. They got most of their diamonds in South Africa. They control about two-thirds of the world’s diamonds business. In the beginning of the 20th century the company fixed the price of diamond highly and keeping specific amount of diamonds in the market.
Another places for trading the Antwerp, Belgium. In this city, The Jewish community is linked with the diamond business. In addition, many cutters and polishers left in Antwerp after commercials outsourced a lot of the cutting and polishing to India. 80% of the world’s rough diamonds still going through Antwerp. India is another important city where diamonds are processed. About 90% of the world’s rough diamonds are cut and polished there. Smooth diamonds come from Antwerp, and Tel Aviv, Israel. Indian workers get a very low price for every piece of diamond they work on it. Dubai has taken a big part in this diamond as well. It has had an increasing reputation as the main center for the diamond for the last 10 years. The government has been working hard to attract foreign and local diamond companies, agencies and traders. The government usual offer them a deal for long period of time which that satisfies both parties. The retail jewelry business in this city is worth nearly more than 10 Billion AED.
To sum up, Diamonds are very valuable jewelry. Everyone is willing to own some. I really want to have some of it to give someone who is close to me and of course for me

Lebanon
Lebanon is a located between 5 main countries . Jordan, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria and Palestine. After I made a quick search I found out that The Bible described Lebanon as "the land of milk and honey". Beirut is the capital of the country and it is called “Paris of the East”. There are many famous activities happen around the year in Lebanon. Let’s now read about Lebanon to find more information about it.
Lebanon faced lots of things during the last years. One of the most thing that happened in Lebanon was the problems between Muslims and Christians in 1943.The main cause of that problem was when Christians held the balance of power in the government while Lebanese Muslims had little say in the running of their country. The problem reached a culmination when members of a radical Christian group attacked and killed a bus full of Palestinians in Beirut. Soon after, revenge killings started to spread throughout. Another important issue is that in 1982 the Israeli troops wanted to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) who was entrenched in Beirut. Israeli troops surrounded Beirut and drove out the PLO, during that time many thousands died in the fighting. The civil was was the main issue to be considered in Lebanon which broke out in 1975. The war lasted for almost 15 years which also destroyed the economic of the country and causing a huge damages to people life. The studies showed that almost 150,000 people were killed and another 200,000 were either wounded or missing.
Let’s now go to read about the Lebanon in present . After the war was over, Lebanon took a serious action to rebuild the country and to bring the economy back to its place and make it even much better. The economy started to return back to its normal and tourism started to resume again. development products have increased and been exported outside the country. However, the country still faces problems regarding Palestinian people who still have few rights, and water shortages which have become a serious problem as well as the the militants who want to turn over the government.
To sum up, I feel sorry for Lebanon people and Israel is the main reason for all problems. I think we have all to solve this problem and make the peace in the area.
