Air Squats

Russia is trying their hardest to make sure all their athletes are fit and ready for the upcoming Olympics. It seems their not stopping at making sure their athletes are fit but also the rest of their citizens. In Moscow you could receive a free subway ticket if you can perform 30 squats in front of an automated machine. It is an excellent invention to maintain physical health within the people. It would be wonderful to see plenty of other cities and countries to piggyback of this idea and make more common exercising machines.

Earths Fate?

Easter island's end article is very similar to New England forests come full circle article. In the beginning of both areas there was beautiful undisturbed areas. After the people began to pollute the areas the space became gruesome and people decided to leave their mess behind. After many years of being untouched again the areas started turning itself back to its original form but it has a long way to go before it goes completely back. Easter islands end can be a foreshadow of the fate of the entire earth. If people don't change their habits around bad the earth may become gruesome and uninhabitable. It also may become impossible for it to ring itself back together.
