Our article is about the president halting new offshore drilling. This comes after an oil slick began drifting toward Louisiana. Offshore drilling will not continue until the water has been checked. 21,000 gallons of oil is leaking into the Gulf daily. It could become the worst oil spill ever at the rate it is going.

Our next article is about the quality of air in different cities in the U.S. The study looked at ozone levels in different cities. They looked at long term particle polution and short term. The polution is higher in LA becuase the mountians trap the air. Also the warm climate rasies the ozone level.
