So...what are your views? Is there really a transport problem? Do the benefits of motorized transport outweigh the costs? Are there any minor (or perhaps major) changes you personally feel could make our present transport system more sustainable?
my view is the transport is that it has a m'ager influence on the growth of the economic and the development of the cummunity. this is because transport is a good way of moving people, ideas and goods. without transport they wld be serious economic lost. but how ever over the years transport has grown and more and more way of of transport/ vihcles are manufactured everyday. there is now a trasnport proble . they cause polllution and the pollunate the air by their essemsions.
cost–benefit analyses of walking and cycling track networks in three cities.
The cost–benefit analyses take into account the benefit of reduced insecurity and the health benefits of
the improved fitness the use of non-motorized transport provides. In addition to reductions in health costs,
the analyses also take into account that a change from travel by car to cycling or walking means reduced
external costs (e.g. air pollution and noise) from motorized traffic and reduced parking costs. The benefits
of investments in cycle networks are estimated to be at least 4–5 times the costs. Such investments are thus
more beneficial to society than other transport investments.
The results of such complete cost–benefit analyses make it possible to calculate the benefits to society
that are not realized because motorized traffic prevents people from bicycling or walking as much as they
otherwise would prefer. These ‘‘barrier costs’’ attributable to motorized traffic are estimated to be of at least
the same magnitude as air pollution costs and more than double the noise costs. Barrier costs should therefore
be taken into account in the same way as other external costs, when the issue is to determine the proper
level of car taxes or to evaluate different kinds of restrictions on car use. http://www.sustrans.org.uk/assets/files/International/Norway%20cost-benfit%20analysis.pdf

Or should all the 'do-gooders' leave our festivals alone!!!!
well christmas is the best time of the year and it has always been. christmas is the time when families get togather and celebrate the birth of jesus christ well that is waht i believe in. chistmas is sustainable that is if people want it to be. i say this because theyre a few tips that people cld follow to sustain it.
people should get theis christmas cards from charity stores such as those run by Red Cross and Oxfam Community Aid Abroad. this will mean that the money will go towards helping some some people who can not afford christmas.
Recycle your Christmas cards in your recycling bin at home or even keeeping them in a box for next year .
Use recycled or pre-loved bags, newspaper or fabric to wrap your gifts. Tie your present with a bow instead of sticky tape and use paper that can be recycled.
Reuse Christmas decorations, or involve the kids and make your own. Donate unwanted decorations to re-use organisations like Freecycle or Reverse Garbage.
If you’re hanging lights for the festive season, use energy-efficient LED lighting.
Buy a living Christmas Tree or use a native tree and plant it in the garden or a pot after Christmas. those are some of the tips that cld help people sustain thier christmas. this will help everyone be happy and enjoy christmas every year.

so....To what extent do the best selling UK newspapers cover stories related to serious issues? To what extent would you think that it is their role to do so? In your opinion does the tabloid media and 'low budget entertainment' (reality shows, soaps) have too much power and influence in this country?
in my view of this the media hw so much influence in what ever in happening at that particular time. this cloud be a serious issue or juss enterainment. and i also feel that the newspapers cover mostly the stories that get brieng them money, and these cld be stories that attract a variety of age groups. for example stories about footbollers and thier wifes. so i would personaly say to a lower extent the newspapers in UK stories are related to serious issues. however i think this is their duty or role to keep pleople informed of serious issues at all time no matter if the issue do benefit them in amy way. and i also think because they are so many people watching the soaps and reality shows like x factor . this has now more power and influence in this country. we get a high number of viewings of these programmes so the media and mainly the newspapers start focusing on thoses stories and keeping people updated on those stories because they feel that will get loads of papers bought which to a high extent is true.

Al Gore (prompt 2)
wel al gore is a man with money and time on his hand. he may have done this just as an activiety to keep his live going and to raise his popularity. however he seem to know very well wat he was talking about but i didnt not see and evidence or back up references to his theory of climate change.
on the other hand he might have just trying to prove a point to people that if he could have been the present live may have been different. trhe fact that some else won then he is now trying to prove a point to people that his focus was not only to run in the white and economic but the climate change as well.
i found the film well presented and informative but i didnt not see any truth in it. if only he had involved proffessors , scientists and professionals in climate change then it was going be a bit influancial to me. but it could been seen as infuencial to people who know more about climate change because they will be keen to question his film.
