C. Follow-up activity

a. Human Trafficking as a serious problem
Human Trafficking as a serious problem Human trafficking is just another name for modern-day slavery. The trafficked victims are forced into labour and sexual exploitation. Every year several women and children are trafficked across national borders.
Most human trafficking victims are actually
tricked into the trade by the false promises made regarding job opportunities.
Many girls are trapped with the bait of false marriages. Human trafficking has
robbed people of their right of freedom. The impact of human trafficking is
frightening. Although the brunt of it is faced by the victims, the nation suffers
as a whole.
b. Causes of global warming and its effects
Our country shows alarming rates of human trafficking. Many
women and children are trafficked for forced labour and commercial sexual
exploitation. No crime can be worse than this. Causes of global warming and its
effects Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on
Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and
floods are getting more frequent. The major causes of global warming are an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and deforestation.
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is mainly from fossil fuel
emissions. Further deforestation increases the seriousness of global warming.
All living plants and trees store carbon in them. When these plants die and
decay, carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. Nowadays forests
and grasslands are cleared for various purposes, and as such enormous amounts
of stored carbon enter the atmosphere and increases global temperatures.
This increase in global temperatures is causing a wide range
of changes. Sea levels are rising due to the melting of land ice. Amounts and
patterns of rainfall are changing. The Changes in temperature and rainfall
patterns have given rise to extreme heatwaves, droughts and floods. Other
effects of global warming include higher or lower agricultural productions,
reduced summer stream flows, changes in ecosystems, species extinctions and
many more.

Read this letter to the Editor of the Rising Nepal which was published on April 10, 2016, on terrible traffic jams.
April 10, 2016
The Editor,
The Rising Nepal,
Kathmandu, Nepal
Dear
Sir,
These days traffic jam is very common in
Kathmandu. One cannot reach his/her destination on time due to the traffic jams
on the road. Recently, it took me an hour to drive to Kalimati from New
Baneshwor. It was a frustrating experience as the road was jam-packed with
motorbikes, taxis, buses and cars. Water and oil tankers were also there to
obstruct the route.
During the tiresome journey, I noticed four
causes of the traffic jam. First, the motorcyclists tend to overtake every
vehicle by violating the lane rules and obstructing the route of the vehicles
coming from the opposite direction. As a result, traffic jams occur.
Secondly, the motorcyclists and taxi
drivers cross the busy road from anywhere they like and sometimes they take
minutes to cross the road. This causes a jam on all lanes and in both
directions.
Thirdly, the public buses cause jams as the
helpers instruct the drivers to stop the buses wherever they see a passenger
waiting by the roadside. The traffic police look on helplessly as so many
rules are broken.
The road widening works also lead to jams as we can see heaps of soil, sand and other construction materials including big drain pipes kept by the side of the already congested road. If these shortcomings are corrected, I think the problem of traffic jams would be addressed to some extent.
Yours sincerely,
Bhup Poudel
Kathmandu
