Unit 1 Afghanistan

Recap-I have researched about Afghanistan and learned about its natural world. I have learned that Afghanistan is ver polluted and that it is starting to take action against pollution. Kabul is one of the most polluted cities in Afghanistan, and President Karzai took action by issusing $100 million for the equipment needed to clean up the cities. Afghanistan has also named its first endangered species list, and has also opened its first national park. This country is also prone to natural disasters because of its location on the earth. Earthquakes frequent the northern part of the country as well as flash floods. Afghanistan's Air Pollution

Revisit- I have learned from RAWA news source

( http://www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2009/10/28/residents-fear-deaths-if-roads-remain-blocked-in-north.html) that people in Badakhshan province fear starvation if snow from snow avalanches is not cleared from the roadway. The road is blocked to the capital and people need to get through this road for food. According to NPR(http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120542974), in the month of November, Muhammad Ibrahim Adel, an Afghanistan official, accepted a $20 million bribe to push a mining project to a Chinese mining company. This strained the United States' commitment in helping the Afghanistan government deal with their problems.

Reflect- I believe that Afghanistan could be doing a better job at clearing out the air. However, given their current circumstances, they may not have the funds to manage a project like clearing the air. President Karzai did issue a $100 million grant for the equipment. This must mean that Afghanistan does have money for things like clearing out the air. Afghanistan should stop worrying about buying guns and funds for the military, but focus on cleaning up their country. Afghanis want to make their country a cleaner, more attractive and safer place to live in. Afghanistan people are starting to take notice of how their country is slowly deteriorating due to warfare and pollution.
