Obama's solution to global warming

Obama is going to take a part in preventing global warming! He announced plans on June 25 to limit the amount of carbon that fossil fuel companies can dump in the air. There is no law yet but hopefully it will pass soon. His speech included points like this: we limit the amount of toxic chemicals in our air and water, but power plants can still dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into our air for free.

Don't waste water... from Greece

My mom was in Greece last week and she saw this sign next to a bathroom sink.  Greece is a very sunny and dry country so they really need to conserve their water.  In fact, Greece has faced severe water shortages in the past few years that have threatened agriculture and even electricity.  I hope this will remind you to conserve water wherever you may live.  -Liam
