How Waste Affects Our Ocean

Did you know that if we keep on contaminating this world with plastic and non biodegradable items in 2050 the world will have more waste than fish ? The ocean is turned into a huge trash can where people throw their garbage with no conscience of what they are doing. We need to take care of our ocean because it produces more than half of the atmosphera´s oxygen. Also we get a lot of our food in there so if we keep killing our fish and turtles, we will extinct them. So if you want to help the cause, you must recycle, reuse and reduce all of the things that you use daily.

Florida School Shooting

Nikolas Cruz, a 19 year old, was the sole author of one of the deadliest mass shootings in the U.S history. On February 14th, 2018, he walked into a South Florida high school and killed 17 people, 14 students and 3 adults. This Wednesday the Florida state announced that they will seek death penalty for the teen. Cruz was willing to plead guilty in order to avoid the death penalty, but now, he is declining to enter a plea. I personally don´t know how to feel about the fact that a complete state is looking for and, set on killing a teen, even if he did himself kill so many people. I don´t know if we, as common people, have rights over a human life, even if that life is responsible for the death of others. How do you guys feel about the death penalty for teens?

Stephen Hawking’s Death

Yesterday, March 14, 2018 a man that changed the way we see the entire universe passed away. This man is Stephen Hawking. Now, how is the world coping with this? At age 22 he was diagnosed with ELA and was given 2 years maximum to live, yet here we are and he lived 55 years. So even if he died pretty young for the average man, 76 years, every year, as he would state, was a miracle. Now, how do i feel about this? I think that when things like this happen it just makes you take everything into perrspective. When i heard about this i was like, well now, how many great scientists like him, that have changed our way of thinking, are still alive? And it shook me to realize that there are none, at least that i know of. So, how do you feel about this?
