Storytelling in the Arctic is a means not only to entertain, but also to educate and inform.
Since prehistoric times, lessons, morals, history, and practical knowledge have been passed from generation to generation through this common oral tradition. The act of storytelling is in itself indicative of the communal lifestyle of the long Arctic winter. By its very existence, storytelling implies a listening audience, willing to hear the narrator’s words. Written history allows a reader to experience stories of the past alone and in isolation, while an oral tradition requires cooperation and inclusion.
Stories explain the creation of physical and spiritual universes, describe hunting and travelling, and tell personal biographies.

Produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide Trees are necessary for our survival.

It sailed alongside the local fishing boats but instead of grouper and swordfish, its catch was plastic bags, soda bottles and an old toilet seat. The green boat is one of three so-called "eco-boats. " These floating garbage ships are a key part of the plan to clean up Rio's Guanabara Bay. Brazilian authorities have pledged it will be clean in time for it and other Rio waterways to host events during the 2016 Olympic Games. Critics say the boats do little to address the more pressing question of sewage. There's little trash and sewage service in this sprawling mega-city of 6 million people. At low tide, you can see mountains of household trash, old sofas and even washing machines.
High Pollution Levels The Associated Press looked at more than 10 years of government tests on waterways. That pollution means nearly all beaches along the large bay have long been abandoned by swimmers. Survival of the Fittest. Human activities threaten the existence of plants and animals worldwide.
Overhunting, deforestation, and encroachment on natural habitats all pose threats. The current rate of species extinction is between one hundred and one thousand times greater than the expected natural rate. A 2008 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) report stated that nearly one third of amphibians, one in eight birds, and one in four mammals are threatened with extinction. Ecosystem functioning depends on the existence and health of numerous interacting species. These interactions make human life possible.
