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.

Dubai kissing couple face jail as appeal fails
A couple of tourists kissed themselves in public in Dubai. A law in Dubai is that people can't kiss themselves in public. They where caught kissing and touching themselves intimately. This couple have a 30 day to have the court decision that will be a month in the jail plus a $300 fines for drinking alcohol.
We think this is ridiculous because when you are in a relationship you demonstrate your love by kissing and hugging so this is very weird. This country should understand that this people are tourists they come from a different culture were people show there love in a physical way.

Mexico Apologizes after soldiers kill two students
The Mexican government is apologizing to the families of the students Jorge Antonio Mercado Alonso(23) and Javier Francisco Arredondo Verdugo( 24) after two soldiers killed them early Friday. These Mexican soldiers where chasing some criminals, the soldiers shot, and killed the two students. The Mexican government feels very bad about this and the federal government will intensify this investigation to find out what happened. Both students where scholarship students.

We think that it is a terrible loss that two good students where killed by accident. We can't believe that the police shot these kids, even though it was an accident. It is very good that the government apologizes for this accident, but it won't cure this big damage.

During chinese new year, firecrackers are being burned. Sadly, 13 people where found dead. Six people died in the hospital, too. Chinese people can't take the firecrackers off the ceremony, because they are a big part of it. We think that the firecrackers are good, but that they should be more careful about it. We also think that firecrackers are big pollution, and that it is very sad that people die in their celebration, because of the firecrackers.

5 people where killed on a plane crash

A little plane crashed on New Jersey. The dead where 2 adults, a teenager, a child, and the pilot. The plane crashed 50 miles away from the airport. We think that the plane crash is very serious. A plane crash could cause many deaths, to the people in the airplane, and to the people that get squished by the airplane. It could also cause many airplane trauma to all of the people who see or hear about a plane crash.

Boy, 12, faces grown up murder charges!

On a morning on February of 2009 the found a 26 year old women called Kenzie Hook dead with a bullet in her head. When they found the guilty it was his proper soon of 11 years. He killed his mother with a shotgun that was given to him for hunting and he had never used it badly. He has been one of the youngest kids to homicide. After a year the family has asked that they give hi a juvenile court so they can see what they can do for a so young kid for making a crime. His friends of school send him letter and things so he feels better.

In my opinion this kid needs to be on juvenile prison so he learns a leason and thinks about what is good or bad before doing something.

Laura chinchilla was the first women president in Costa Rica's history. She got the 48.6% of the votes in Costa Rica. Behind it was Solis with 25.1% of the votes. Kids loved this because they could vote and it was like a carnival for them with all the cameras filming them. Solis wanted the same style of government that Honduras had and people didn't like that because Honduras is in crisis.

Kenya Rounds up zebras for starving lions
Lions in Kenya are starving. Wild life officials are ferrying zebras to a park in the south of the country to feed starving lions. By doing this they will prevent the conflict of lions eating humans. There was a drought in the country. One of the worst in 26 years. This heat affected the ecosystem. Lots of herbivores died. Then, carnivores don't have anything to feed themselves, their only option is to eat humans. They're only 2,000 lions left so their concerned about them. About 4,000 zebras are being transferred, so that carnivores can eat well.

We think that it is very good that people do something about the ecosystem. The drout was very bad, but it is good that people do something about this.

Another Winter blast brings Dismay, Delight
Some countries in the U.S.A are under severe weather warnings. The blizzard just hit Illinois and Minnesota. Now, the storm has moved to the coast, bringing more snow to New York, Philadelphia, and to Washington. Washington has received 10 inches of snow, New York 20 inches, and Philadelphia has received 22inches!! For the schools, this is very bad. They had to shut the schools down because of the blizzard. For the kids, this is very good. They get school days off, and get to catch up with homework.

We think that it is good to have a little snow once in a while, but it is not good to have that much of a severe weather.

Eco Solutions
To save the planet, the world has invented the solar power electricity and wind mills. When neither of those work, the people stay without electricity. Now, there is a new source in Europe that unites them all. There are windmills in the water, and all of the windmills are united by some underwater cables. In that way, when one wind mill doesn't work, the cable transport the electricity from one mill to another.
