Big Picture
How the excess of carbon
emissions has caused an increase
in leafy green vegetation all over
the surface of the earth.
The news article, Earth Gets Greener as Globe Gets Hotter, provides us
information about the climate changes our planet has been suffering in the
past years. Earth is becoming greener, but this is not necessarily good; in
fact, according to the researchers, its a precursor for other worrisome
climate changes. Plants use carbon dioxide to grow, a process called
photosynthesis, therefore the increase in carbon dioxide seems to be related
with the greening of the planet. Currently, places that were covered in snow
or sand are now covered with green foliage. These changes affect the cycling
of water, causing a rise in the sea levels, and other worrisome dangerous
weather such as global warming, melting glaciers, etc.

Big picture
How a five cent fee on plastic and
paper bags, will help New Yorkers to
reduce the usage of these
materials, for the good of the
environment.
The news article, 5 Cents Fee on Plastic Bags is Approved by New York
City Council, informs us about the fee New York Citizens will have to pay
for plastic and paper bags. The majority (28-20) of the city council voted
in favor of the fee to reduce environmental problem. Some exceptions will
apply, and not everyone will have to pay; restaurants, street venders, etc.
will be excluded. Councilman Brad Lander said, that the fee is irritating
and it will irritate people, making them use their own reusable bags. The
purpose of all this is to encourage New Yorkers into bringing their own
bags for the good of the environment.
