For Some Drivers, an Electric Motorcycle Could Be the Best of Both Worlds.
This article talks about how changing motorcycles around to help the enviroment just by making it be an electric one. Motorcylist could love this idea because they would be saving money on gas and still doing the thing they love which is riding bikes, it's a win, win situation. The only problem about these electric motorcycles is the price range that it would fall under. If we could find ways to make these machines cheaper then it would be bought more and we'd have a better alternative on the roads. If we have a success on our hands with the motorcyles then cars will start to become electric ones and we'll have an option that makes many people happy. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/technology/start-ups/for-some-drivers-electric-motorcycle-could-be-the-best-of-both-worlds.html?_r=1&ref=earth

How Fungi May Create the Amazon's Clouds
This article talks about how the fungi in the amazon forest could potentially create the clouds. The research was done in Germany. In every forest area carbon clumping takes place and most scientist can see it happen through microscopes. But for some reason in the amazon the carbon clumps form from out of no where. So, in effort to figure out the cause of the unknown clumping two researches went to the amazon and took samples of the air to know how the particles are made. Turns out that it is a lot of carbon particles and potassium. Potassium is the element that causes these particles to appear out of the blue and the potassium comes plants and fungi under the climate that the amazon provides.So far there isn't any harm being done so why try and stop it? This could lead to different possible ways to find better solutions. http://discovermagazine.com/2012/sep/04-mushroom-cloud
