My article is titled, "New York, Recycling Reprobate, Aims to Do Better." It is written by MIREYA NAVARRO. This article talks about how the idea of paying for your garbage is starting to come into play. People are charged for the amount of waste they produce and dispose of by weight. This idea will make people think about how much they just throw away. The idea is that people will start to reuse more and be more eco-friendly when it comes to getting rid of their garbage and reusing things. I think this is a good idea because anything that has to do with money makes people listen, so people will do whatever it takes to not spend a lot of money for their waste.

Since we have been talking a little about sharks, I figured this article would be perfect. My article is titled, "A Snapshot of Shark Finning", by Bettina Wassener. My article talks about how the population of sharks as quickly been decreasing the past 3 years, and people are starting to here about it more in public. The sharks are being killed mainly for an asian soup which is used as a status symbol. Pictures were posted along with the article of the sharks and their fins cut off. The pictures are below:

http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/tracking-the-debris-from-japans-tsunami/
My article this week is called, "Tracking the Debris From Japan’s Tsunami". The article discusses the affects of the tsunami in Japan 6 months later. Thousands of tons of debris was found spread across miles of the Pacific Ocean. Boats, cars, and even entire houses were found in the ocean due to the tsunami's affects. Scientists from California are going on a research trip to be able to see up close and personal the affects of the tsunami, and to see how quickly the debris is spreading and what the sea creatures are doing with it. The debris from the tsunami will take years to decompose, such as furniture, and everyday household items. The research trip costs 13,500 dollars to 15,500 dollars to join per person.
