Tragedy in Haiti.

I am not normally a person for controversy, but what happened there is just another thing for people to get worked up about. Helping the Haitians rebuild is a good thing to do don't get me wrong I think at this minute they deserve our help. I know what tragedy is like, it may not be as bad as theirs, but we all feel it sometimes.

If I was the Governor there I would do whatever in my power to help. First issue an evacuation, send in volunteers to help clean up. When one town is back on its feet, reissue an evacuation for the next town.

It seems like lots of work, but people aren't as crude as some people think. second, ensure the trust back in Haiti. Last but not least, get ready for the possibility that there can be another one.

There isn't much teens can do, but come together and work for the people. I hope that everyone that died rests in peace, and I hope all those who are hurt get well soon.

Conserving the Solomon Islands.

If I had the honor of running the world, to be sure I saved the Solomon islands I would have the country do a big event to raise money to save the small islands. Their inhabitants is of the utmost importance.

People should take good care of what little rain-forest we have left. By raising money they will be able to further their investigations on what and how to save the islands. If we increase the time we spent in nature I am sure people would appreciate it more.

Another idea is to send scientists into the rain-forest. If they go in and find a(n) endangered species then I would deem the law stating that they can't take their home away. The law would state as the following paragraph.

I Caitlin say the animals of the Solomon Islands deserve to stay alive. They prove to be endangered, thus giving them the right to stay at their home. The destruction of the rain-forest seems to have a huge effect on the inhabitants.
