Industrial Fishing is killing our oceans
A landmark study made by the University of California revealed that only four percent of the world's oceans remains untouched by humans. (fishing, polution climate changes and more) Global seafood catch in the late 1980's has been declined in despite of a faster technology used to catch fish. We've eaten a lot of fish. 80 percent of seafood species are recovering of the depletion. 80 percent of the seafood in America is imported. Much of it comes from poor countries this is the way that local communities support their economy. The excessive way of fishing is harming the marine habitat. Centuries of old habitats such as cora gardens are being destroyed in a second. Oceans have remarkable ressistance if we let them bounce back, they will have the opportunity to recuperate.

We think that we have to take good care of our planet because if not we will be left with no touristic reasources such as the coral gardens. We have to moderate our fishing to onaly what we need.

Diamonds aren't forever? De Beers to cut supply!

De beers believes that the use of diamonds shouldn't be as much as it is used right now. They say that the diamonds should be on protection because it is really to get them because they only find them on on Russia and Africa on their mines. Now the diamonds are 5% sold and on 2016 the 16% will be sold so they will try to maintain the diamonds over the next years. There price will increase so people don't buy them as much.

Ugranda's king turns 18
Ugranda has a teen king. He is turning, now 18 years old. He is among the world's younguest monarcks. He assended to the throne at the age of three, after his father died. As a minor, kingdom officials had adviced or helped him rule because of his age. Teen can now make major desitions on his own. This king feels turning 18, is a big responsability. He has a lot of support of his mother.

We think that it is great to have a young king. But, don't forget that he is a teen, he can't make desitions. It is good that he has all of good support to make better desitions.

11 dead in Italy train derailment!

Eleven people where killed in Italy when there was a train accident in Bolzano! 20 passengers where injured and 5 in really serious consequences. This train rail was inaugurated in 2005 and the accident happened because there was a broken irrigation pipe. The train lose control and went to crash to 2 tress near Adige River.

In my opinion this train rail should be more secure and need to be checked there status so accidents like this happens.
