1 Dear Editor:
I’m sick and tired of the traffic in this city! It is so bad
that I can never get anywhere on time. There are too many
4 cars on the road, and most of them have only one person in
them. Another problem is the buses. They are so old and slow
that nobody wants to take them. They are noisy and very dirty.
7 You can’t even see out the windows! Also, the taxi drivers are
rude. They never know where they are going, and they take a
long time to get someplace. Taxis are expensive, too. And the
10 subway is just too crowded and dangerous. What are we going
to do?

Choosing an ecodestination
1 Imagine visiting an uncrowded, beautifully preserved
coastline or rain forest. A local guide is ready and able to
explain the natural wonders before you. Imagine relaxing
4 among local people who are genuinely happy to meet you and
share their world. This vision is no fantasy. Vacations for
environmentally and culturally aware travelers are available
7 in many locations around the world.
In Brazil, an ecoresort on the coast of Bahia helps to
save the Atlantic rain forest, one of the most endangered on
10 earth. Visitors can explore the forest with “mini guides”, local
children who take great pride in the beauty of their forest.
Visitors can also spend time at a sea turtle breeding facility
13 next to the resort. Here they can learn how villagers protect
the nesting sea turtles every night on the beach in front of the
tourists’ hotel.
16 Off the coast of Western Samoa — a Pacific island
known for its unique culture and exotic scenery — lies a very
special small island. On this island, local villagers still fish in
19 the early morning hours and weave their nets during the day.
Villagers warmly welcome visitors by preparing meals of
fresh, local seafood. Later, guests are invited to take part in a
22 ceremonial dance on the beach under the stars. After the
ceremony, guests retire to a locally owned hotel and enjoy the
sounds of the South Sea.

William Penn (1644-1718), founder of Pennsylvania. Son of an admiral, he was sent to a Puritan school and was expelled from Oxford as a dissenter in 1660. Sent to Ireland to manage the family estates, he regularly attended the Quaker meeting at Cork, and on his return to England he was twice imprisoned for proselytizing, but nonetheless retained connections with the court. In 1681, Charles II repaid a debt owed to Penn’s father by granting him a large province on the west bank of the Delaware river in North America. Penn drew up a frame of government providing for religious toleration in the new colony, which he named Pennsylvania. After he had supervised the building of Philadelphia (1682-4), he returned to England and, on James II’s accession, secured the release of some 1,200 Quaker prisoners. Out of favour after the Glorious Revolution, he returned to America in 1699, but financial mismanagement forced him to mortgage his rights as proprietor of the colony.

We are accustomed to thinking of military success as determined by quality of weaponry, rather than by food supply. But a clear example of how improvements in food supply may decisively increase military success comes from the history of Maori New Zealand. The Maori are the Polynesian people who were the first to settle New Zealand. Traditionally, they fought frequent fierce wars against each other, but only against closely neighboring tribes. Those wars were limited by the modest productivity of their agriculture, whose staple crop was sweet potatoes. It was not possible to grow enough sweet potatoes to feed an army in the field for a long time or on distant marches. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand, they brought potatoes, which beginning around 1815 considerably increased Maori crop yields. Maori could now grow enough food to supply armies in the field for many weeks. The result was a 15-year period in Maori history, from 1818 until 1833, when Maori tribes that had acquired potatoes and guns from the English sent armies out on raids to attack tribes hundreds of miles away that had not yet acquired potatoes and guns. Thus, the potato’s productivity relieved previous limitations on Maori warfare, similar to the limitations that low-productivity corn agriculture imposed on Maya warfare.
