In 2009, environmental analyst Lester R. Brown estimated that reforesting the earth and restoring the earth's degraded rangeland

s would cost about $15 billion a year. Suppose the United States, the world's most affluent country, agreed to put up half of this money, at an average annual cost of $25 per American citizen. Would you support doing this? Explain. What other part or parts of the federal budget would you decrease to come up with these funds?

Considering how large of a GDP the US have, I would agree with such a move. There's several reasons why I would agree on such a move. One of them is of course the well being of the nature, as it is crucial for the survival of every living organism, including the humans. Reforestation will bring in lot of benefits that will gradually return the investment. For starters, the air quality will improve, and by doing so, the health problems among the people will reduce significantly, thus much less will be spent on healthcare. Part of the new forests can be fruit forests, which will be an enormous reserve of organic food without having to use any labor or effort in production. Also, by establishing forests, whole ecosystems will get back on the scene, so lot of useful plants can be harvested from the forests, such as herbs and mushrooms. If the US makes a deal so that it can use certain part of the benefits from the forests until it gets its enormous investment, it will be a win-win situation for everyone. In order to have the budget for the global reforestation, it would be the best to cut down on the budget for development of weapon of mass destruction and the budget for war.

How to find mean angle, bearing and final bearing in traverse booking?
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

The mean angle is all the angles added up together then divided by how many angles they were. For example:

I have four angles 44°, 37°, 29° and 67°, what I would do is add them all up together, i.e, 44+37+29+67, which equals to 180. Then I would divide 180 by how many angles they were, so I would do 180÷4 which equals to 45. So the mean angle would be 45°, that's how you find the mean, hope that helps.

What role do a society's beliefs play in an objective process like science?
Assoli18 [71]
Darwin is a great example. He created the theory of evolution, but because of the church ridiculing him, he couldn't come forth with his findings. Some parts of science may seem outlandish to society, and that can be very difficult to deal with.
