In the past month or so, measles have been rampant centering around disneyland. Visitors to the famous theme park have been leaving and promptly finding themselves with this dreadful disease. These visitors were from over 10 States and the nation of Mexico. One of the main causes to this outbreak was people who chose to not receive the immunizations to diseases such as measles.

Protect the Cool Cold Blooded!
Many species of snakes, turtles, a tortoise, and a toad are in danger or threatened in Massachusetts. These reptiles and amphibians are constantly being mishandled. Just because it looks cool doesn't mean you can take it home as a pet and just because it's a snake doesn't mean it's venomous. sorry you wont get a shiny new pair of boots today.
These species invade our land, but not our hearts
An invasive species is a kind of animal that smuggle there way into American wilderness, and once they're here they become almost indestructible. These species include the European starling, burmese python, and lionfish. Some authorities have completely given up on trying to get rid of these animals. Read more here:

Terrorism on U.S. Soil
U.S. authorities have raised defenses at U.S. military bases, and put police forces on alert and increased surveillance at the national airports, railroads, shopping malls, energy plants and other potential targets. For the past couple of years, The United States has been on its toes about terror threats and attacks. In the past 20 years, there has been more than 125 terror attacks on the United States. We can assume that terrorism is going to grow on U.S soil, but how can we stop it?-Olivia C

Air Pollution In the US
Air pollution is caused predominantly from burning fossil fuels. Natural sources of air pollution include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation of organic compounds, and natural radioactivity. These natural sources of pollution often soon disperses and thins settling near its locale. However, major natural events such as volcanic activity can convey throughout the air spreading, thinning and settling over continents. Fossil Fuels burning for heating, electrical generation, and in motor vehicles are responsible for about 90% of all air pollution in the United States.
Stop the Keystone oil pipeline
The planet is heating up. Since 2000, we've experienced 13 of the 14 hottest years on record and this past year was the hottest. Scientists say there’s a limit to how much carbon we can add to the atmosphere before global warming spirals out of control. We’re starting to bend the curve of rising emissions, but not quickly enough.

National Parks Sparks new Problems
http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/national-parks-issues/
What are large areas of land that is protected by a national government because of its natural beauty or its importance to history or science? A National Park, of course! Sadly there are many problems with these parks such as pollution, water, and even budget to help maintain the parks. The article I read really shows how big and how many problems we have with our parks. We have to act fast to save these beautiful parks. There are even more but this article shows the big ten that everyone needs to help with.

Heart Disease is Increasing in America
http://millionhearts.hhs.gov/abouthds/cost-consequences.html
Every year, 1.5 million Americans have heart attacks or strokes. In addition to that, 800,000 Americans die of Cardiovascular Disease every year, that is 1 in every 3 deaths. Also, over 3 million people in the US have reported themselves to be disabled because of a heart condition. As Americans exercise less and less, as well as choosing to eat poorly, their hearts become worse and worse. If we don't find a way to prevent this disease more effectively, it could effect even more people.

Cancer in the US
It is estimated that in about 16 years, cancer will be the disease that killed the most people in the US, surpassing heart disease. Not only that, but it will also impact the pay of the doctors who treat these cancer patients. It also costs a lot for the patients to pay for the radiation therapy and the anti-cancer drugs, which don't even work as well as they used to, and are therefore ineffective.

Air Pollution Dangerously High for Half the U.S.
In this article, it is reported that almost half the U.S. lives in areas where air pollution levels are often dangerously high for them to breathe. It says that they find "47 percent of Americans live in counties with frequently unhealthy levels of either ozone or particulate pollution." In fact, that's five percent more Americans compared to last year's tally. The reading tells you more information about specific places with the best and worst conditions along with statuses and updates.

Ivory-billed Woodpecker not found in most forests today!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory-billed_woodpecker
The Ivory-billed woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in the world, at roughly 20 inches in length and 30 inches in wingspan. It is native to the Virgin forests in southeast US. Due to habitat destruction, and to lesser extent hunting, the numbers of these woodpeckers has decreased by a lot. Almost no forests today can maintain the Ivory-billed woodpecker. Reports of at least one male Ivory-billed woodpecker was found in Arkansas in 2004. An anonymous $10,000 reward was offered in June 2006 for information leading to the discovery of an ivory-billed woodpecker nest. What can humans and scientists do to help save these Ivory-billed woodpeckers from going extinct??????
