Chapter 13 homework

CH 13 section 1:
     1.Major economic changes are taking place in Europe because of technology, manufacturing and agriculture lolz.
     2. Since the fall of communism, outdated equipment and lack of incentive resulted in low crop yields. Since the change to democracy, private ownership of land and food production has risen.
Creative Writing: I agree with the statement - it is more important for nations to develop more efficient communications systems than to develop more efficient transportation systems. Some barriers like mountains cant be broken down, its just impossible. Europe needs to focus on connecting these places through technology instead of thorough roads and transportation systems.

CH 13 section 2:
     1.Over-farming, removing too much vegetation and building cities using many trees has affected Europe's environment.
     2.The EU has helped protect the environment using power plants that burn natural gas instead of lignite coal. The EU has also built buildings with acid-resistant coatings.
Creative Writing: I disagree with that statement about the EU laws. People need to pitch in too and not destroy the environment and use it up slowly. People need to think twice about how much water they use during the day and how much electricity they use up per month. The laws can only do so much, but its the people that can make the biggest difference.
