The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change     1     coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very     2     (exist) of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.

On a local level, the damage     3     (cause) by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a habitat     4     birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are     5     (quick) dying out. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens human life.

Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life,     6     the destruction of such species prevents researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the local water and     7     (poison) the world’s groundwater in the future.

The loss of shade trees is gradually causing     8     slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.

It is obvious that     9     (grow) much full-sun coffee affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind     10     (be) surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

The Ant Forest initiative was launched by the Alipay app in 2016.     1    about 200 million trees planted on 182,700 hectares of land, it has helped to     2    (efficient) avoid almost 7.9 million tons of carbon emissions.

The initiative is in line with the Chinese government's strategy of transforming the nation into a "Green Economy".       3     (accomplish) this objective,China has been taking aggressive action in expanding its green coverage.

For example,the "Great Green Wall" was initiated in the northern region to restrict the       4     (expand) of the Gobi Desert. The Forestry Administration's monitoring report mentioned that desert lands       5     (shrink) by 24,240 square kilometers in the past decade. Moreover,China only has a small percentage of vegetated area(植被面积).     6    it has contributed to the increase in the world's green leaf area by almost 25% in the last two decades.

Our planet is at a tipping point,     7    may result in natural disasters unless urgent actions     8    (take)immediately. Here, Alipay Ant Forest shows that it is possible to rely on digital technology for a better and       9     (green) future. Several more initiatives, from not just China but all across the globe,     10     (be) under way towards a sustainable future of the planet.
