The New York Times May 28, 2010 By Justin Gillis
Anxiety grows as the skys turn black and the color of the water turns a musky color. Scientists and students help out with the oil leak and they try to study the effect it has on the sea. They come prepared with gloves and flasks to determine the effect and with tools and refrigerators. These people are mostly looking for fine oil droplets beneath the waves of the water instead of the thick oil that is glazed along the surface.
The author describes the scene of the oil spill has an unfortunate event and a terrifying place to be. Hopefully the scientists and the students observing the oil spill will get a chance to figure out what is happening to the water as the oil is slowly destrying it.

‘Top Kill’ Fails to Plug Leak; BP Readies Next Approach
The New York Times May 29, 2010 By Leslie Kaufman and Clifford Krauss
BP engineers mentioned how the technique had failed after trying to stop the flow of oil gushing beneach the Gulf of Mexico. The BP's chief operating officer tries to solve the problem with a containment cap, but it would take several days for them to try and solve the problem. They are trying to use a hose to capture the leftover oil spill that has managed to continue leaking.
The authors entail a great amount of deal saying how the oil spill is drastic. It's gotten out of control and everyone is trying to find a way to stop this horrible incident that has occured. The BP engineers need to do something fast.

Swapping Old Duds for a Good Cause
The New York Times April 23, 2010 By The New York Times
A spokeswoman hosted her own show, "Sierra Club Radio" which swapped clothes as a way to renew her wardrobe for free and recycle the clothes with her friends. She soon came up with a fabulous idea, why not us the environment principle of recylcing to raise money for a cause? This idea grew fast and was soon called, Swap for Good. In soon went into program and slashed $16 million from violence programs to help close the budget gap last year.
This lady came up with a great idea to renew, reuse, and recycle clothing. This also benefits programs and the money raises good causes for certain situations. By recycling old clothes amongst one another, saves a bunch of money.

Imagining a Jet-Free Europe
The New York Times By Elizabeth Rosenthal April 23, 2010
A few months ago, the European Environment Agency set up a two-day workshop on how to proceed towards a more sustainable transporting system by 2050. Flying is one of the most highly emitted form of transportation, the main question was how europe would function without aviation than what we have now. There was a cloud of volcanic ash that was spreading from Iceland and ended flights from Britain to Germany.
Transportation by an airplane is so common and is so well known throughout that it would be devastating and almost unimaginable if there was a jet-free europe. Although, this had occured for about a week due to the volcanic ashes.

The Climate Bills, Side by Side
The New York Times May 14, 2010 By Sindya N. Bhanoo
The differences that are between the house and senate climate and energy bills arenergy policy.gether by the nation comission on energy policy.gether by the nation comission on energy policy. The house bill mentions how the cost would be $10 to $28 per ton, while the senate bill calls for about $12 to $25 per ton.
The effects on this new proposal should go through smoothly and hopefully will become accepted among everyone who witnesses it.

Obama Points Finger on Oil Mess
The New York Times May 14, 2010 By Andrew C. Revkin
Obama recently delievered a speech about the seabed oil gusher, pointing out how it was a ridiculous spectacle and how the three main companies were involved in pointing fingers at one another. Not mentioning the more direct oversight of efforts to cap the seafloor leak, he spoke more about how the oil drilling was necessary to change in the Minerals Management Service. He also didn't bother to push for the energy and climate bill.
It's unfortunate how he didn't mention the energy or climate bill, but it was necessary for him to propose the idea of new ways for the oil drilling situation.
