CFCs will soon be completely banned in the United States and in most developed countries while many other countries still use CFCs in manufacturing. Among these are some of the most populous on earth, such as India and China, which need to change their refrigerator factories to non-CPC processes. But they may not be able to make this change alone and will need help from the industrialized countries.
This is what global thinking means — working together for solutions. Some examples of the use of the present perfect were extracted from the text …communications technologies have connected people all over the globe,… the environment has suffered, Some nations have begun to try…, … people have used the oceans as a dumping place. This verb tense was used because:.
We name them, raise them, clothe them and spoil them. We describe them as manipulative, grumpy, sensitive and caring. For this reason, in the interests of remaining objective observers of nature, scientists have taken pains to avoid anthropomorphizing animals. In recent years, however, evidence has begun to show that animals have personalities after all. Chimps, for example, can be conscientious: they think before they act, they plan and they control their impulses, says Samuel Gosling, a Texas-based psychologist.
Research has identified similar personality traits in many other species. Scientists can look to animal studies for insight into humans the same way they now look to animal testing for insight into drugs.
Animal research has already begun to shed light on how different sights [sic] of people respond to medications and treatments — aggressive and passive rats respond differently to antidepressants, for example. Putting personality testing — already a thriving business — on a firm footing could uncover a wealth of knowledge about where personality comes from.

For speech is so much more than words and sentences. I did listen everywhere. It seemed to me that regional speech is in the process of disappearing; not gone, but going. Decades of radio and television must have this impact.
Communications must destroy 8 localness, by a slow, inevitable process. That is growing more difficult now and will in some foreseeable future become impossible. It is a rare house or building that is not rigged with the spiky combers of the air. Radio and television speech becomes standardized, perhaps better English than we have ever used. Just as our bread, mixed and baked, packaged and sold without benefit of accident or human frailty, is uniformly good and uniformly tasteless, so will our speech become one speech I who love words and the endless possibility of words am saddened by this inevitability 3.
For with local accent will disappear local tempo. The idioms, the figures of speech that make language rich and full of the poetry of place and time must go. And in their place will be a national speech 17 , wrapped and packaged, standard and tasteless.
In the many years since I have listened 14 to the land, the change is very great. Travelling west allong the northern routes, I did not hear truly local speech until I reached Montana. That is one of the reasons I fell in love again with Montana 5. The West Coast went back to package English. The Southwest kept 7 a grasp, but a slipping grasp on localness. Of course the deep south holds on to its regional expressions, just as it holds and treasures some other anachronisms, but no region can hold out for long against the highway, the high-tension line and the national television.
What I am mourning 9 is perhaps not worth saving, but I regret its loss nevertheless 6. Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was 15 a rare home that baked good bread in the old days.

Don't think declining attention spans are solely a modern-day issue. In the early s, author Theron Q. Dumont published a book called The Power of Concentration that highlighted a number of practices for building your attention span.
Here are a few :. They might seem a little crazy, but you'd be surprised how hard these exercises are to do. Mindfulness is having a moment, with everyone from director David Lynch to Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington practicing daily meditation. And for good reason: Researchers from the University of Washington have shown that just 10 to 20 minutes of meditation a day can help improve your focus and extend your attention span. What's more, you'll even see improvements in your attention after just four days.
Working out isn't just good for your body. Researchers have found that adding physical exercise to your routine helps build the brain's ability to ignore distractions. In one study, students who engaged in just moderate physical exercise before taking a test that measured their attention spans performed better than those students who didn't exercise.
If there's one place our limited attention span is incredibly noticeable, it's when we're talking to others. Instead of grasping at straws during a conversation, practice attentive listening by not interrupting, recapping what the other person has said regularly, and using connecting words like "OK," "I get it," and "Yes" to stay engaged and show that you're listening.
