Torture

Torture: The act of inflicting pain to a person or animal both physical and psychological

Through out time torture has been used to get information out of people or as a form of punishment. It was sanctioned in some states of the united states in the past.  Forms of torture were very severe or just enough to get what the person torturing gets what they want. It was also a form of discipline.Today it is banned and against the human rights act, which also applies to not doing it to captured people in armed conflicts.

Some people believe that we should still use torture as a form of interrogation so that we can get information out of people that could possible help save peoples lives( The CIA had been doing it until Barack Obama had released the Bush administration's justice department memoranda - which was justifying so called "enhanced interrogation techniques). While others believe that it is just to inhuman  and it goes against everything that is right and should not ever even be thought of as a last resort.

In the UK there is an idea that they have that involves British Airways that will have them using Fuel made from landfill wast. The fuel will be produced at a new facility located at Thames Enterprise Park in Thurrock, Essex. This site was most likely chosen because it was once an oil refinery. It will be the first place on earth that will turn landfill waste into jet fuel. Construction will start in 2015 and is said to be completed in 2017.

The British Airways has committed to buying the 50,000 Tons of airline grade fuel that is produced from the land fill waste. The facility is to give a near 150 skilled people permanent jobs for the foreseeable future. Although air transportation is only 2% of CO2 admissions that little change in it could be a deciding factor for the future.
