The solar guy wins and the tree guy looses which is good for both but raises a moral question of who has preference over who?

Why me, is a question many of us ask, well, you want to live and continue living? Do you want to eat, see your children grow up and many other questions to which we all know the answer to. It is time to pay attention and take part and to take a stand for something.ā€¯ You have to believe in something for without it, you are nothingā€¯.
You decide nature or man’s band-aid efforts to correct years of neglect?

I had come upon a feature on CNN regarding the problems associated with some of the solutions that have been deemed as alleviating some of the pressures we exert on nature. Solar power has the ability to provide power off the grid (power that does not come from power plants that burn fossil fuel) and even sending some into it but the feature showed a clash of two neighbors regarding the trees that are natures own climate control experts and the next door neighbor who has an extensive installation of solar panels that have become blocked fro the sun due to the growing trees. As the story goes, the two neighbors have been at war with each other in attempts to protect each other’s interests one on the solar generation side and the other on the tree’s side.
As the argument goes, neighbor a planted several red woods in his backyard a few years ahead of his next door neighbor who installs and generates power using solar energy. As the years progress, each has done his own little part in contributing to the ever-growing pollution problem due to the burning of fossil fuel, one having trees that filter air and provide shade the other having power generation that does not pollute. The time came when the solar panels became overshadowed by the red woods which lowers their efficiency and does not maximize their power generation potentials. The neighbors go as far as the courts to find a little known law that was passed a few decades back that states solar power generation has the right to overcome shade and can have a court remove obstructions in certain cases.

Practically anyone must be wondering, do all donations given to the known charitable institutions in their region actually reach their intended purpose of helping the actual people in need? Technically, the common man would care less but each penny or in kind donations are totally for the account of the people housed and targeted for such aids and donations.
These charity organizations are non-profit organizations. They are purely for voluntary aid and work to serve people and endeavors in need. While the immediate understanding that people in need would be the main beneficiaries, there are other causes such as disaster victims, and other individuals who would find themselves on the losing end.
But just the same, the aim of such foundations and organizations is to purely offer help and support in any form possible. It is not about how much or what to give. It is about the use and extending that helping hand to help them in their unfortunate predicaments caused by varying events that have come into their lives.

It is a known fact that in the minds of many people, the easily most abused person in the household or in marriages would usually be the wife. Either they are beaten up or physically and mentally abused is the typical feedback that people around would hear. Foundations and movements have been done to help fight off the said abuse for these valued women and support in any way is something that they will surely need.

Their fate would usually depend on their nature of selecting their partners. There are some who would unfortunately land masked men who would show their true colors upon marriage. While marriage is something that would top off all successful relationships, it is also a transition stage where couples would have to adjust their lifestyle and manner of living.
Pressure is something that would usually ignite quarrels and physical harm in most cases which in turn would lead towards ending up in court battles to seek protective custody in most cases for the abused. Such a resort would be normal considering they want to avoid any further encounters which could lead to worst situations.

One of the UK’s largest Cancer charities, Cancer Research UK, took a petition with 250,000 signatures to Downing Street last week, prompting the British government to take notice and act.
This led to the health secretary Patricia Hewitt acting upon the campaigners demands for an updated cancer place by confirming the place of cancer at the top of the government’s health agenda at the Britain Against Cancer conference in London.
Alex Markham, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, told the media that there were three main demands:
1. the plan must take account of the projected doubling in 15 years of people over 65, which will increase the number of cancer cases.
2. the issue of expensive medicines and screening techniques must be addressed
3. the impact of constant change in the structure of the NHS on patients must be assessed.
“This needs national debate about what value we place on increasing someone’s survival by a year. That requires some very open discussion. Also, how do we decide what a drug company is allowed to charge for a particular medicine?” he said.
