This week my blog was titled "Say ‘Hybrid’ and Many People Will Hear ‘Prius’" by MICHELINE MAYNARD. It basically talks about how when people think of hybrids and eco-friendly cars, the only thing that comes to mind is the toyota Prius. This year, sales of this care have increased about 93.7 percent, selling as many cars in this year(2012) as all of 2006. This is a huge increase. Many people are switching over to the Prius because they like that it says to other people that they care about the environment and they want to make a change. The Prius has taken over hybrid cars.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/geologists-we-may-be-slowly-running-out-of-rocks,17341/
My article is about how in about 500,000 years, the earth may run out of rocks. THe last time a significant amount of new rocks were created was about 3.5 billion years ago. It takes one rock millions of years to form, but it can only take a second for one to be gone forever. The article talks about how people used to treasure rocks, painting them and having them as pets. Now, they are thrown into the water and not wanted, and if this continues, they will be gone.

My article was called, "Inevitable, or in Limbo? A Dam for the Mekong" by RACHEL NUWER. It talks about how Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos are holding off on their plans to build a dam. Each side has a different opinion; scientists say that damming the river would be “reckless and irresponsible” given the many uncertainties about the project’s effects on the ecosystem and local people. Scientists also believe that holding off on the dam preserves the possibility of saving endangered species like the Mekong giant catfish from extinction.
