Litter is one of the most important environmental problems. Litter is our human waste and it arises because of the irresponsibility of people. Most people don't care what happens to our planet because of these actions.
To reduce the litter on the planet, we must take care of the environment. We can use biomaterials to make it easily recyclable. We can also follow the path of Japan and Korea and divide the litter into categories.
We can arrange ecomaratona where we will clean up our planet all together. If everyone starts doing this, the world will become more secure.
In this way, we can make the world a better and cleaner place.
Before:
America was settled from Northeast Asia by tribes related to the Mongoloids of Siberia. In their anthropological type, the American Indians, and to an even greater extent the Eskimos who migrated to America later, are similar to the population of North and East Asia and are part of a large Mongoloid race. The development of the vast expanses of the new continent with alien natural conditions, alien flora and fauna presented difficulties for the settlers, the overcoming of which required great effort and a long time.
After:
The population of the indigenous peoples of the United States has significantly decreased in the process of colonization of the territory by European settlers, gradual extermination and displacement from their territories, as well as due to infections introduced by Europeans. According to the 2010 Census, more than five million[1] Native Americans and their descendants (about 1.6 percent of the country's population) live in the United States. As of 2001, the birth rate among American Indians was 1.75 TFR[2].
Объяснение:
До:
Америка была заселена из Северо-Восточной Азии племенами, родственными монголоидам Сибири. По своему антропологическому типу американские индейцы и в ещё большей степени эскимосы, переселившиеся в Америку позже, сходны с населением Северной и Восточной Азии и входят в большую монголоидную расу. Освоение огромных пространств нового материка с чуждыми природными условиями, чуждым растительным и животным миром представляло для переселенцев трудности, преодоление которых потребовало больших усилий и длительного времени.
После:
Численность населения коренных народов США существенно снизилась в процессе колонизации территории европейскими переселенцами, постепенного истребления и вытеснения со своих территорий, а также из-за инфекций, занесённых европейцами. По данным переписи 2010 года, в США проживает более пяти миллионов[1] индейцев и их потомков (около 1,6 процента населения страны). На 2001 год рождаемость у американских индейцев составляла 1,75 СКР[2].
