If we have a look at this Pie Chart which is about Annual Greenhouse Emissions by Sector, you will notice that the waste disposal and treatment in particular is only slightly more than four percent, while the land use and biomass burning, Residential, commercial and other sources rose steadily around 10% ,then an insignificant increase of the percent of Fossil fuel retrieval, processing and distribution, also we can observe the Agricultural byproducts increased slightly around one and a half percent,then the same moderate rise of the percent of the transportation fuels , followed by a significant take off of the percent of emissions from industrial processes which is around three percent, then as can be seen from the chart that the percent of the power station is increased dramatically .
Which is due to the industrial facility for generation of electric power as we all know.
Thank you.

Nelson Mandela
Turning Points
When his father died Mandela and was groomed for becoming chief of his local tribe .However Mandela would never be able to make this commitment .
whilst at university Nelson Mandela became increasingly aware of the unjust nature of South African Society ,and the little opprtunities either Economic or political especialy for the Black South Africans . Much to the disappointment of his family ,Mandela became involved in politics.
Along with his good friend and comrad Oliver Tambo was expelled from Fort Hare for organising a student strike.
By the late 1950s Mandela had to resign from the ANC and work underground so there was an extermely lengthly Treason Trial in which Mandela and several others were charged with treason .
In 1960 the sharpeville massacre of 63 black South Africans changed the whole political climate. The government banned the ANC. This led Mandela to advocate armed struggle through the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) .
By 1962 MAndela had been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Robben Island prison .
In 1990 Mandela releasedand it was an emotional moment watched by millions around the globe .
AS president,Mandela presided over the transition from minority rule and apartheid .His advocacy of reconciliation led to international acclaim and importantly the trust of the White African population .
Mandela lost his eldest son who suffered from HIV epidemic . So he worked hard to campaign on this issue .
After his retiring he continued to be an international figure of great statue , he was one of the few polititicians who have gone beyond apolitical role .
