Ordinary word order places the subject first, followed by the verb, then the indirect and direct objects, if present.

charcoal, tasks that contribute to deforestation and soil erosion.
--Daniel Kammen, "Cookstoves for the Developing World," Scientific American
Use ordinary word order in declarative sentences and in indirect questions.
