Oil slick hits Chandeleur Islands off Louisiana Summary Oil has been leaking unstopped for 18 days from the well, 50 miles (80km) off Louisiana, since an explosion destroyed the Deepwater Horizon rig, operated by Transocean. But now, the oil from the Gulf of Mexico has started washing ashore on an island chain off the coast of Louisiana where pelicans and other birds covered in oil have now been found. Opinion In my opinion, this is a bad disaster because this means that another ecosystem is being destroyed because of our thoughtless thinking. Animals and plants is what gives our planet the greatness that it has or that it once had not so long ago. I know that our generation is now looking after and being careful with what they do to their habitat but I think that the damage has already been done from previous generations. We will try to succeed to save the planet that we have destroyed but the life of many generations to come is not certain. We hope that we find the way and the technology to save our planet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8666276.stm New blood fat heart disease link Summary A type of blood fat different from cholesterol may play a key role in heart disease, a study suggests. Researchers looked at the role of triglycerides, which is produced in the liver and derived from foods such as meat and dairy products. The analysis of 350,000 people from 101 previous studies found those with higher levels of the blood fat were more likely to have heart disease. Opinion I can’t help to think that the main reason of the destruction of our planet is because of technology but on the on hand, technology can be in many cases a life saving use, as long as we use technology for good there’s no harm done. Technology can save our loved ones, discover new illnesses and cure them. Technology in the right hands is a remarkable object, an object that only humans can use because we’re the creators. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8664917.stm
