Slideshow Main Point

My main point of slideshow is going to be the Relationship between Environmental Issues and Poverty.

Facebook comment - The relationship between environment change and poverty. Because of poverty, populations relied on livestock for survival. When one area started to be affected by desertification they would move for their livestock. Also, deforestation will be discussed.

My plan is first introduce some big issues in environment such as desertification and deforestation and then in content explain how poverty is affecting those issues. For example, deforestation of tropical rain forest in Brazil is caused by paper companies but it is also caused by poor peoples who lives around the forest that need lands to cultivate. These people put on the fire in the forest so that they can get rid of all the trees and plants important grains for their survival. This topic is fairly easy to find effective resources because there are ton of people who tried to resolve this global issue. Also, it is very effective to touch and relate poverty issue into environmental issue because it will bring attention of people who concerned about environmental issue to poverty issue which not many people realize the seriousness of the issue.

  1. I like this topic very much, David. I would not have considered environmental factors as a cause of poverty, but from what you've offered here, I can understand how these factors do contribute to poverty.
