Plastiki

Plastiki is a boat that is made mostly out of plastic to draw attention to all of the plastic waste in the ocean. The plan of the plastiki is that it will sail from San Francisco to australia.

I think the plastiki is an amazing achievment since the boat is nearly made completely out of plastic. Its also really amazing the rest of the boat is made out of other materials that can be recycled.

There is actually a cause also. Its not like somebody was just bored and decided to make this. This is to draw attention of how carelessly we throw plastic. Even more the plastiki is going to sail through that huge plastic mass in the ocean about twice the size of texas, the second biggest state in the US.

haiti update

So far the situation in Haiti is still bad. At least its gotten a little better since last week. Now more people are getting aid from other countries but it seems that there has been some problems in the airports since there are to many planes flying in to Haiti. Even more there are still so many dead bodies around that the locals have to put orange peels up their nostrils. Now there are about 380,000 orphaned children. Picture on right shows a man with what looks like a broken jaw.

Fatal earthquake in Haiti.

As you know recently there has been a really tragic event on a nation that already has enough problems before a huge earthquake killed as what people estimate in the hundreds of thousands. Most of the population is now homeless caked in dust. More than 1/3 of the whole population is has injury from as minor as cuts to as major as missing limbs. Even the presidents homeless. Buildings are wrecked and people are trapped in the rubble. Thankfully though a handful of country's have come to their aid. China has agreed to send in 1 million dollars worth of supply's and America has also agreed to help along with other country's. As you can see on the picture above there are homeless and injured people.

The lakers game at christmas day

For Christmas I went to the lakers game. They were facing the cavaliers. The stadium was really crowded and full of spectators. Everyone was exited. To bad we missed the first quarter since we were half an hour late and the lakers were behind but the lakers game was still really exiting. They were facing the cavaliers. During the game people were shouting and cursing because of a technical foul. In the end though te cavaliers though and at the end people were shouting angrily since they wanted the lakers to win since we were in L.A.
