Polar Bear Makes the List
In spring 2008, the polar bear was placed on the endangered species list. According to the Endangered Species Act, an endangered species is an animal that is likely to face extinction in its natural habitat. (9) The ESA defines a threatened species as one that is likely to become "endangered" in the foreseeable future.
The polar bear is the first animal that has been classified as endangered due primarily to global warming. (10) Heating homes, driving cars, and burning garbage all require fossil fuels that lead to global warming.
The polar bear's habitat is more vulnerable to global warming than many other species. Polar bears live mainly on the sea ice in the Arctic. This is where they hunt for fish and build up fat reserves. (11) In the Arctic, global warming is causing the ice to melt slightly earlier and form slightly later. This results in a shorter feeding season for the polar bear. Some risk their lives to find ice. If they have to swim too far they will drown from exhaustion and hunger. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that 25% of the Arctic sea ice has disappeared in the past 30 years.
It is not only the polar bear that is at risk in the Arctic. Every species of plant, animal, and insect there is threatened by global warming. (12) The Arctic food chain relies on the polar bear.
In addition, donations are more commonly offered for the protection of large animals such as bears or elephants. People in general are less interested in conservation efforts that protect small wildlife, such as plants or insects. However, by using donor money to protect the habitat of the larger animals (ex. reforestation programs), entire ecosystems can be protected.
It is important that animals such as the polar bear make it onto the endangered species list. Once they are on the list there are laws that protect these animals from being hunted for food or sport. Agencies also receive money and tools to protect the habitat and recover the species. (13) Since the Endangered Species Act was introduced in the US in 1973; many species have been taken off the list due to increased populations. In fact, it is rare for a species to go extinct after they make the list. Sadly many species do go extinct while waiting for consideration.

A. Polar bears have been categorized as a "threatened" species.
B. The goal of removing the animal from the list is often achievable.
C. Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that become trapped in the atmosphere.
D. The future of an endangered species such as the polar bear is unknown.
E. Nevertheless, environmentalist groups such as the World Wildlife Fund often study large carnivores in order to assess the health of an ecosystem.
F. When the ice melts many polar bears move to land and live off their stored fat.

Все что я увидел

"Смотри Ровер!" сказал Доб. "Какое смешное животное!"

" О, да! Он очень веселый, я не знаю животных веселее него!" сказал Ровер.

"Ты жираф?" спросил Доб, смотря на длинную шею животного.

" Нет! Я не жираф!" сказало веселое животное.

" Ты крокодил?" спросил Ровер, смотря на длинный хвост животного.

"Нет! Я не крокодил!" сказало веселое животное.

"Что ж" сказали Доб и Ровер. " Кто же ты?"

" Я - ??(не понял, скорее всего кроко-раф)", сказало веселое животное.

" Да, это я! И я очень голоден" сказало животное.

" Почему ты очень голодный, кроко-раф?"

" Ой!" сказал Доб, " У меня есть каша и молоко."

" Мне не нравится каша и молоко." сказало животное.

" Что ж " сказал Доб, " Что на счет чая и гамбургера?"

" Крокораф не любит гамбургеры и чай. У тебя есть игрушка для меня? "

" Что?! Игрушка это еда?!" сказали Доб и Ровер.

" Да" сказал крокорафф. " Они очень хорошие и вкусные эти - игрушки. Я люблю игрушку медведя, обезьяны и куклу."

" Я очень извиняюсь, крокорафф," сказала Доб " У меня нет с собой игрушек, они дома"

" О боже!" сказал крокорафф, " И я очень голоден!"

of the future!: Mysterious and unknown

Foreword: Good day dear Trendclubers. I publish the post of my sister (in order to avoid the fact that I myself will plus it). Now I bring to your attention an essay-style essay on a given topic of the contest.

Mysterious and unknown

City of the future. How do we see him? Absolutely different people live in the world. Around us are atheists, satanists, Buddhists and they all believe in something of their own, for each of them there is a separate ideal world and I am sure for them the city of the future is, like for everyone, something definitely mysterious and unknown. But I still decided to try on the role of a science fiction writer and think about this distant city of the future.

I believe that the city is directly dependent on the people living in it. We all see it in our own way. For some, it is beautiful, but for someone to live in it is hell on earth.

None of the people is perfect and the city in which these people live is also far from perfect. But still, I love my city and I hope for its further prosperity.

Beautiful city of the future

Bright and outstanding city of the future. That's how I want to see him. Promising developments in technology, a large number of new and promising establishments. I believe that in the future crime will be eradicated and it will be safe to walk in our city in the evenings. High-rise buildings, numerous new amusement parks and much more done by the hands of good and good people. I believe that dreams will come true, there will be many prospects for people just starting to live on their own. I would like to have more jobs, and people did not need anything, that there were no homeless people, and everyone had a roof over their heads and ways to honestly earn money. My ideas can be listed endlessly, but there is a separate topic that I would like to discuss with you dear TrendKlabers.

City cleared of crime

As I said, I dream that in our city of the future, crime will be completely eradicated. Of course, this is not an easy way and this will be quite difficult to achieve. There are several options for bringing this perspective to fruition.

For example, in the future, they may invent an apparatus that will directly affect the brain of the person who committed the crime. To be honest, I do not understand technology very well, so I can’t say for sure what this invention will work by, but I’ll say that it will be something like a lobotomy, only faster, more efficient and more humane.

The second option is more cruel than the first. Perhaps in the future in our city (well, in the country) the death penalty will be resumed. People will simply be afraid to commit crimes and eventually stop completely.

And at the end, the last option is probably the most unrealistic. It’s just a hope that people themselves will realize what terrible things they sometimes do. They decide to improve themselves, and our city of the future will be cleared of crime.

What kind of people, such a city

As I said, the city is directly dependent on people. If we want our city of the future to be as beautiful as we sometimes imagine, then first of all we need not to create great mega corporations or invent something, we just need to try to change ourselves. I’m not talking about the fact that everyone needs to get a haircut as a monk or spend 24 hours in a church, you just need to look into yourself and think about whether we deserve life in a beautiful city of the future. Can we keep it as bright as we want it to be? Unfortunately, I can’t answer this question, because everyone decides for himself. We just all need to become at least a little better, and then we ourselves will not notice how the city will be transformed with us.
