aboutQ6. The advantage of using biofuels is it emits co2 less than gasoline. However, for Japan, biofuels should be shipped from other countries . It means that we emit a lot of co2 to use biofuels....
about Q7 give any good ideas such as using nuclear energy instead of fossil fuel, wind power, etc....

Q1. How did the price of corn which imports from the United States change?
In late 2006, the price of tortilla flour in Mexico, which gets 80 percent of its corn imports from the United States, doubled thanks partly to a rise in U.S. corn prices from $2.80 to $4.20 a bushel over the previous several months.
Q2. What did the new president in Mexico do?
In January 2007, Mexico's new president, Felipe Calderón, was forced to cap the prices of corn products.
Q3. What kinds of oil's prices are increasing? Give three examples.
The prices of oilseeds, including soybeans, rapeseeds, and sunflower seeds are increasing.
Q4. What will it result in that cassava-based ethanol production become popular?
The production of cassava-based ethanol may pose an especially grave threat to the food security of the world's poor. Thanks to its high-starch content, cassava is also an excellent source of ethanol. As the technology for converting it to fuel improves, many countries are considering using more of the crop to that end. If peasant farmers in developing countries could become suppliers for the emerging industry, they would benefit from the increased income. The likely result of a boom in cassava-based ethanol production is that an increasing number of poor people will struggle even more to feed themselves.
Q5. What did World Food Summit in the 1996 set out?
Participants in the 1996 World Food Summit set out to cut the number of chronically hungry people in the world--people who do not eat enough calories regularly to be healthy and active--from 823 million in 1990 to about 400 million by 2015.
Q6. For Japan, biofuels should be shipped from other countries. Some people says that it is meaningless for Japan to begin using biofuels instead of fossil fuel, because a large amount of gasoline is used when biofuels are shipped to Japan. Do you think using biofuels in Japan is an effective way to reduce CO2 in the air?
This is a situation that has advantages and also disadvantages. Maybe the change can bring benefits for one part of the population that can not afford the high prices of fossil because it is cheaper and also the emissions of CO2 are less, but at the same time are being generated CO2 with the transportation. But I don’t have clear the actual situation with the fossil fuels are they chipped too? Because, if the answer is yes the situation is almost the same.
Q7. Do you have any good idea to reduce CO2 in the air?
Well, there are many alternatives that are possible, but I think that the best is the compromise of people, people must to want to change the situation if they want that polices that are being applied will be success. Also the government should support the new investigations that scientist are doing in order to develop some plastic using the CO2 like a catalyst for the bio plastic. Is easy, cheaper and cut of the CO2 of the environment.

6. I don't think so.
7. Plant more trees.
1. This price increased.
2. Mexico's new president, Felipe Calderón, was forced to cap the prices of corn products.
3. Soybeans, rapeseeds, and sunflower seeds.
4. The production of cassava-based ethanol may pose an especially grave threat to the food security of the world's poor.
5. Participants in the 1996 World Food Summit set out to cut the number of chronically hungry people in the world.
6. I think that the amount of CO2 emanated from a ship always will be less than the amount emanated today in Japan by cars, buses, o others ships. For this reason, I think, meanwhile researchers are looking for a better biofuel for ships; Japan should use biofuel to reduce its emanation of CO2 at least from automobiles.
7. There are some clean energies developing now, such as solar energy using solar panels and stored energy such as energy stored in high efficient batteries such as fuel cells. However, they are not efficient enough to compete with oil fuel. Therefore, until we don’t have a more efficient and clean source of energy, it is better to reduce CO2 using other methods. Some method people are using are:
•Using CO2 filters which are put in the muffle of the car.
•Using others vehicles such as bicycles or train (electric).
•Buying high quality gasoline.
1-about double, from $2,80 to $4,20 a bushel.
2-He stopped raising the prises of corn products.
3-Soyheans, grapeseeds, sunffoner seeds.
4-An increasing number of poor people will struggle even more to feed themselves.
5-Participants in the 1996 World Food Summit set out to cut the number of chronically hungry people in the world--people who do not eat enough calories regularly to be healthy and active--from 823 million in 1990 to about 400 million by 2015.
6-Yes.i do.
7-I think there is a good idea to reduce the CO2 which is to plant a lot of trees that will increase O2 and will make balance. also, stop smoking and stop driving.

Q6. No.
Q7. Yes. For example, People living in Tokyo buy the product from near city. It will reduce the amount of Co2 in the air comes from vehicles.
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Servidor, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://servidor-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
