 In Seville, Spain in the spring season the orange trees start blossoming and result in producing about 15,000 tonnes of the fruit. Obviously a lot of it goes to waste so the city came up with a solution to this problem, they found a way to make them into a source of renewable energy. They would use the energy to run one of the city's water purification plants. How it would work is as the orages ferment they produce methane which will be used to generate electicity.  In my opinon it's great that they came up with this idea. The demand for renewable sources of energy is always present beacuse it's a great way of caring for the enviroment. Also it's like killing two birds with one stone because it doesn't only generate renewable energy but also helps with reducing the amount of oranges that go to waste. I think that if we could coming up with more solutions like this would really help improve our environmental sustainability. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/enviro...

 Reserve in Louisana is the town that has a risk of cancer 50 times the national average. It's because of a chemical plant built on the site of an old plantation that emits a likely human carcinogen. The company is worried about the cost of offsetting emissions of the likely cancer causing polution.  The towns residents said that they had never been informed of any potential emissions regulation and described the news as "appaling". I think that it is irresponsible that they weren't made aware of the danger, because it is directly regarding their health and well-being. I think that prioritising profits over people is very unethical and is a wrong move from the goverment thast is supposed to take care of the society.

 This semester i would like to improve my speaking and writing abilities. I want to be able to speak in longer forms like presentations etc. without stressing and stumbling.
