Bill Gates : The World Will Never Run Short Of Those !

In the article,” Why Bother” written by Michael Pollen, he explains how the environment has gotten very bad over time. He talks about sustainability, global warming, and the cheap-energy mind in his article. He tells us that we need to act now before the phenomenon gets worse. Have you paid attention to the environment lately? Have you noticed the rising temperature around the world? Have you noticed the melting of the ice caps? If you haven’t you are about to be in for a surprise. The world has gotten very bad and we need to act now. There are a lot of causes to the environmental problems. The main cause are from farmers all around the world. Farmers are a lot more technologically advanced then what they were 50 years ago compared to now. The problem with the farmers are the overuse of energy, erosion of the soil, and pollution. The answer to all of these problems is sustainable agriculture because it is more efficient and better for the environment.

Chapter 6 talks about what you have to offer to the world and how you contribute to society based on academics, intelligence, character, talent, and work ethic, basically, your building blocks. You know how they say at the end of the day you are all you have left? Well it is true, Wheelan makes a point when he asks, if all your money, house, and car were stripped from under you, will you still be okay (pg. 127)? If your building blocks are strong and in tact then you should have no worries, right? Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a billionaire is one of the worlds finest. I believe that he does have his foundation seamless and deserves the money and credit he has earned. Considering I am only seventeen and have not invented nor invested

Bill Gates made a lot of changes to the way the world operates through technology and made life at lot easier for other people around the world. Bill Gates (also known as William Henry III or Trey) is an American entrepreneur, business mogul, investor, philanthropist, and one of the most richest and influential people in the world. He was also known as the best businessman in the 20th century. In his years as a child, he had the attitude for math and science as well as showing interest in computer programming in his teenage years.

When people think of a hero they think of Superman, Batman, or Spiderman, but what they should think of are people that make difference. Bill Gates has made a huge difference in today’s world; he is an extremely successful entrepreneur, an active philanthropist, and a very motivated person in general. With this motivation he has and will accomplish anything he puts his mind to. He was CEO of Microsoft and became the richest man in the world. He also created one of the most credible and generous charitable organization in the world. As a positive influence on today’s world, Bill Gates has proven himself as person with his good work ethic, positive attitude, and great accomplishments.

She says that the growing of so many crops is causing greenhouse gases. Michael Pollan says that everything is made of corn. Everything in today’s world that we consume, food or drink, is somehow made of corn. You may not know it, be able to taste it, but it is there. Niman suggests that reducing the amount of corn rapidly produced , would help better the planet. Tearing the land and invading nature to grow mass amounts of crops is causing our planet, our home to be destroyed. One way to save our home would be to stop the mass production of crops. Not only would this be saving the land, it would also help control the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that are released into the

“The fact of the matter is that today, stuff-selling mega-corporations have a huge influence on our daily lives. And because of the competitive nature of our global economy, these corporations are generally only concerned with one thing…the bottom line. That is, maximizing profit, regardless of the social or environmental costs.” —David Suzuki

He exemplifies the higher carbon foot print of the rich and the need for more wealthy people to recognize the issues surrounding climate change, while being conscious of their action’s effects on the planets well-being.

Bill Gates said that the world's poor farmers, not just the ones in America, but the whole world's farmers need our help. After Bill Gates traveled to Bihar, India they noticed that the farmers there needed help from people around the world. To back up what he said about the farmers he used information that he himself gathered. While he was still in India he found that as the crop would become ruined they would go into the city looking for jobs but would come back empty handed and poorer than he was before he left. But for Bill Gates this left a reminder in his brain that for farmers it is a high-wire act without any safety nets. This being drawn up because if you have one bad year then you have to have some sort of miracle happen in order

A leader is someone that you can look up to, someone who has a conglomerate of attributes that motivate people to follow them. There are many reasons why you can find someone amusing, intriguing or interesting but the conglomerate of actions performed by them is what makes them stand over others. A global leader is someone who has transcends the geographical limits with their contributions not only to their field but to humanity as well. In this essay I will briefly discussed the attributes of the global leader I selected, his visions and his contributions to

They looked at two scenarios, inaction, where business’ continue finding and using carbon as they see fit, and action, where business’ use a low-carbon energy mix. They found that not only would the investment cost of the action scenario be no more than inaction, but it would even cost a bit less- 190.2 trillion dollars for action and 192 trillion dollars for inaction. This is before even considering the amount of money saved by the effects of the action scenario itself. The report found that, “the difference in climate damage costs between low (1.5°C) warming and high (4.5°C) warming scenarios could be as high as $50 trillion” (Business Insider). The effect of such a large economic company reporting this data is the perfect example of how using economics for the sake of reversing global warming can be really beneficial. The argument often used by economists is that becoming more sustainable would hurt the economy, but the data in this report proves just the opposite, and how terrible it would be if we did nothing. For the sake of investment in industry’s like coal and gas, this information is often denied. But this is not anywhere near the first time industry’s have had to adapt due to uncontrollable events. This report emphasizes the importance of recognizing

Finally, Al gore discusses how some people believe there should be a balance between economy and environment. He believes that if we focus environment then the money should come naturally. I believe he is right a lot of jobs could be created and a better and more beautiful world could be sustained. Unfortunately, the inconvenient truth about it all is that no one wants to lose money and not see immediate gains, so it looks like this planet and everything on it is going to be on one heck of a hot ride to its doom. Hopefully enough people hears his plea and decides to take some sort of action be it voting or riding the bus. Since where all in this together we can’t keep hiding from this inconvenient

When looking at the corporate businesses and the undoing of the human habitat; the United Nations has sanctioned many organizations to track climate change such as the UNEP, the World Meteorological Organization and the IPCC. Since the mid-eighties, these agencies have monitored the changes, yet have failed to convey the significance. Studies done by these agencies have concluded that the last fifty years are attributable to human activities and big corporations which lead to the changing in the compositions of the atmosphere throughout the 21st century (Saltori). These activities that are mentioned are those by means of businesses that grew into national conglomerates. Concurrent with business growth, the greenhouse gas emissions have grown seventy percent from 1970 to 2004 (Lehner). Recent studies have shown that 122 corporations produce eighty percent of greenhouse gases (IPCC). The climate is going to drastically change the world forever, but at whose expense? What exactly does the political eminence of these companies have

“Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty,advancing economic growth…these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security, and women 's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.” “

“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” - Barack Obama.
