SDG 12-Sep 29

Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Worldwide consumption and production are a driving force of the global economy. It rides on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way that continues to have destructive impacts on the planet.
- Each year, an estimated one-third of all food produced is wasted due to poor transportation and harvesting practices.
- If people worldwide switched to energy-efficient light bulbs, the world would save US$120 billion annually.
- If the global population reached 9.6 billion by 2050, more resources than we have on the planet could be required to sustain current lifestyles.
Goal 12.2: By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources
Goal 12.3: By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chain
Goal 12.5: By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse
=> Write about Goal 12 in three sentences.

SDG goal 12 proposes that consumption and production be managed to sustain the increasing population.

SDG 11-Sep 22

Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

While cities and metropolitan areas drive economic growth, rapid urbanization poses challenges to people and the environment. It creates slums and puts pressure on infrastructures and services, such as waste, water supply, sanitation, road, and transportation systems. Also, unplanned urbanization worsens pollution and public health.
- About half of the global population lives in cities and the number is expected to reach 70% by 2050.
- Most of the new urban populations are created in the developing world, especially in Asia and Africa.
- Cities account for over two-thirds of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Goal 11.1: Provide access for slum dwellers to affordable housing and services.
Goal 11.2: Provide safe, affordable, and sustainable public transport systems.
Goal 11.3: Plan and enhance sustainable urbanization in all countries.

Write about Goal 10 in three sentences. 

SDG goal 11 aims to achieve sustainable development of urbanization. 

As new urban populations increase especially in Asia and Africa, it is essential to plan and develop infrastructures and services that work well for public health and the environment. 

Affordable and safe housing, public services, and transportation systems need to be provided to all urban residents.

Par.1,2 There are heated arguments as to who actually wrote all Shakespeare’s plays, especially between the Oxfordians and the Stratfordians because there are just too many works under his name.

Par.3-4 The Oxfordians believe that Shakespeare was an actor but not the author of the works because of his lack of education.  

Par.5-7 The Stratfordians claim there are no rational reasons to doubt that Shakespeare wrote the works/on Shakespeare’s authorship.

Par.8 The debate doesn’t seem to settle in the near future because it is highly unlikely that either side of the believers can provide sufficient proof to convince the other.
