Florida receives a $30 million grant from BP - 0 views

  •  
    See what had happen was a tourism from florida received 30 million dollars from BP. This money was granted to test waters and seafood around the gulf to make sure it was up to standards. The money will also be used to clean up the area and make sure that it is safe for all tourisms once again. This will take place over a three year period. Florida has already received $82 million dollars since april 20, 2010 for these efforts.

    I think it's a good idea that they gave money to fix the water and make sure everything is back or normal or at least close to being back to normal. The fact that Florida has recieved $82 million dollars is not good beause it's so much money, but it's morely BP's fault because of the spill.

Fruit being used for car parts - 0 views

  •  
    Scientists, in Brazil, are trying to use fibers from fruit to make a stronger light plastic to create car parts. They are 30 percent lighter and 3 or 4 percent stronger. This could also improve the fuel economy. Fibers found for these products can be found in pineapple leaves and stems, bananas, coconut shells, agave, and cattails. The new plastics are more resistant to heat, water and spilled gasoline than conventional plastics.
