Possible Environmental and Ecological Damages Due to Possible Future Kratom Ban
Problem Identification The FDA asserts that the prohibition of kratom is due to its addictive, abuse-prone, and hazardous properties. 44 fatalities with the presence of kratom occurred between 2011 and 2017. In the majority of those instances, there was no evidence that kratom contributed to or caused mortality. The evidence was too sketchy, in that the FDA’s proposed ban has been rejected by the DEA, WHO, and the UN. Nobody outside of the FDA is certain of the reasons why it wants to outlaw kratom so badly that it hasn't given up trying to propose a national and international outlaw since 2016.

What are the effects of global warming and initiatives taken by Wales and Iceland to reduce these effects?
warming in both Iceland and Wales, and then comparing how efficient Iceland and Wales are at tackling the problem and fortifying themselves from the problem. This investigation will be using statistics and primary resources to come up with a balanced argument, by making impartial judgements and using the information to draw a conclusion for possible solutions that Wales can follow to reduce our countries carbon footprint. In order to effectively compare both countries respectively, we will compare both micro-generation initiatives, governmental initiatives, and review the level of CO2 present in both countries.

Fukushima Earthquake And Tsunami 2011
Around the globe scientists and organisations have attempted to develop method of detecting earthquakes so that maximum damage can be prevented. Currently, around the globe seismometers, sea walls and building modeling are used to detect earthquakes through the readings of seismic waves. This scientific solution has potential to minimise damage from earthquakes and tsunamis around the globe if implemented correctly and its negatives minimized. The Application of Science To Detect Earthquakes and Consequently Prevent Damage-Seismometers Earthquakes can be detected by measuring the frequency of the seismic waves in a particular area using a scientific device such as a seismometer.
