(Abidjan, Syndicated news) - Environmental groups claimed that bio-fuel demand has changed the face of the African land. From Europe and Asia, and many business groups in 11 African countries launched a "land grabbing" boom, bought at least 500 million hectares of land, planting sugar cane and palm oil Tung oil tree to extract bio-fuel. They do not only cut down large tracts of forests and vegetation, but also occupied the land originally used to grow food, triggering the conflict between with the local community.
International environmental organization Friends of the Earth, 36 pages thick, published yesterday, the report pointed out that since 2006, the entire African continent will have a total area of about 500 million hectares of land, is the United Kingdom, China, Portugal, Italy, Canada and Israel and other countries acquisitions; This area is also big winners on land.
Eyeglass lenses are commonly made from plastic, including CR-39 and polycarbonate. cartier sunglasses These materials reduce the danger of breakage and weigh less than glass lenses. Some plastics also have more advantageous optical properties than glass, such as better transmission of visible light and greater absorption of ultraviolet light.[1] Some plastics have a greater index of refraction than most types of glass; this is useful in the making of corrective lenses shaped to correct various vision abnormalities such as myopia, allowing thinner lenses for a given prescription. cartier glasses Newer plastic lenses, called iZon, can also correct for the symptoms of the higher order aberrations that naturally occur on a person's optical system (including retina, lens, and cornea).[citation needed] These lenses create sharper vision for people who have problems with blurry or dull vision, as well as help reduce the halos, starbursts, and comet-tails often associated with night time driving.
Scratch-resistant coatings can be applied to most plastic lenses giving them similar scratch resistance to glass. cartier glasses Hydrophobic coatings designed to ease cleaning are also available, as are anti-reflective coatings intended to reduce glare, improve night vision and make the wearer's eyes more visible.
It is understood, Kenya and Angola have received want to use 50 million hectares of land to bio-fuel refining the proposal. Benin has a similar plan, ready to use 40 million hectares of land to grow palm oil trees. burberry sunglasses In Tanzania, due to large tracts of land will be used to grow sugar cane, rice farmers have lost a lot of traditional land.
Ethiopia, Mali and Ghana, the government encourages foreign companies to buy or lease their land, or even yes no prior notice in the local circumstances, or without first doing an environmental impact assessment took Tude transfer.
In addition to these countries, Cameroon, Congo, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and Sierra Leone also has the land sold to Switzerland, Germany and Norway, companies in rich countries.
The EU previously set in 2020, biofuels must account for 10% of the total fuel target. Friends of the Earth said the EU's goal of contributing to a wave of looting the African land.
Friends of the Earth, said: "This has some risks, namely, agriculture fuels, as well as Africa's land and natural resources will be exported to foreign countries, where local communities and national economies can not derive much benefit."
