Almost all people have an idea that the planet is in decline. People know the cause and effect of the decline but few really understand how they contributed to that. Let it be known that the ecological footprint of Singapore worsened this year.

This is according to the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) Living Planet Report released on October 6, 2014. WWF analysed one hundred fifty countries and the report showed that Singapore is the seventh largest ecological footprint contributor. In the 2012 report, the lion-city was ranked 12^th.

Here are the things you need to know about ecological footprint of WWF:

• Definition: Ecological footprint is an instrument to measure the demands of the population in relation to natural resources. The ranking on the other hand is determined by the country’s services and goods and its efficiency when it comes to proving these services and goods.
• Top five: WWF released the top five countries that yields the largest ecological footprint. These countries are Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Denmark and Belgium.
• Sources of ecological footprint: In Singapore’s context, one source of ecological footprint comes from the carbon emissions. Another source comes from consuming huge amounts of imported services and foods.
• What Singapore can do: Singapore can reduce the consumption. The government as well as the private sectors should put emphasis on consuming wisely. The population should choose sustainable products and consume those that have lower footprints. Apart from that, the government can also encourage and invest in companies that have high regard on the environment. The Transboundary Haze Pollution Act is a good start.

Good or bad, you still need to know what the things that you should say to your child are. Being a responsible parent is also knowing what the words should be spoken to your kid once you are mad, sad and happy.

No, you are okay!

When your child kneels down and cries hard, you immediately try to comfort your child. And now he’s done crying, you say that he’s okay. This is wrong because you are like saying to him that he is a robot. Always remember that your child is also a human being. He has emotions that are the same as you.

If your child is in trouble do not think that he is just okay or he can manage the situation. Do not forget that you are still the parent of the child and whatever happens to him shall be linked to you. In times when you kid cries, he needs a company – a shoulder to lean on. And that will be his parents. Be sure that you are always open to your child and omit saying the words “No, you are okay” because it just gives them additional problem. They will think that you do not care and you have no interest in helping them solve their difficulties.

When bad things happen to your child, try to say “Calm down” or “Stop crying, I will help you”. Actually, there are a lot of things to do to comfort your child and only the parent can do the exact caress that their child wants. It may be a sweet kiss or a tight hug.

To fully know what exactlay happened in a specific place, a writer must check the following things so that it can be called a news:

Prominence – In this element, a writer must know if the people inevolved are prominent individuals in the community. For example, Homeowner President or Police Officer.

Immediacy – In reality, people would love to know something new and something that they will have interest. Bringing the freshest and the most recent information is more efficient compared to a week old news.

Proximity – Once you have written a story about the Drug raid in Mexico, will the people of Singapore gets affected with the news? This will not happen because people in Singapore only wants to know the things around them.

Humor – This is one significant element in creating a news. Sometimes, there are news that makes people laugh. Like for instance, “A Guy Shows His Underwear to People”. The more the readers laugh about the news, the more it is correct.

Unnecessary Words

Sometimes, print writers tend to use too many sentences or perhaps phrases. This causes the informationl to be jumbled which makes the readers confuse and will eventually lead to discontinue reading. Being concise is the name of the game.

Long Sentences
