Right now our presentation opens with someone having to leave their home, I think we should elaborate on exactly people find themselves in the desperate situations that slum occupants do. One example of this is the Three Gorges Dam in China, scheduled to be fully operational next year. Currently 1.2 million people have been displaced and another 4 million are being encouraged to move to the near by Chongqing metropolitan area. I think we should present a few different situations, maybe three. Soil degradation could be another good one which a previous post has touched on.
