Valentina Tolson Clase 4 Lake Nicaragua is a beautiful sight to see with its pretty flowers and calming view. Soon though, this sight could be destroyed. A canal that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will be built. It will be good for transporting goods and services through Nicaragua. This canal will cost about 50 billion dollars and should be done by 2019. The lake though, will be polluted with bad chemicals from all the ships going through the water. The company organizing the canal (Hong Kong Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Company- HKND), along with their environmental and social effects manager, Environmental Resources Management, held meetings across the country of Nicaragua to discuss the topic. The company also, held a news release that told the public the direction of the canal and the effects of the canal. Although the canal is beginning to be built, Lake Nicaragua is still a gorgeous view. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/04/travel/lake-nicaragua-tour/ 4-3-15
The contents of this news article is how Costa Rica is cutting back on fossil fuel consumption and is hoping to literally free it’s self of fossil fuel use to power the country. This is a huge step in the right direction in terms of becoming more environmentally friendly. In a world that is being baffled with speculation of global warming and the depletion of the O-Zone layer, this will hopefully put those speculations at rest. Perhaps if Costa Rica can pull this off, then the rest of the world will follow. Only time will tell if this will be for the better, which I personally think it is.

Javier McCullough There was a group of hikers that had a volcano erupt next to them. They got a video of the eruption. The group didn’t have any injuries. But, the group did get an amazing glimpse of the power of nature. The police are talking about evacuating the towns nearby. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/telica-volcano-in-nicaragua-erupts-just-metres-in-front-of-hiking-group--video-10246483.html 13-5-15
Catalina Weyand Clase 7 Recently in Nicaragua, there was a volcanic eruption from the Telica Volcano. The Telica Volcano is about 68 miles miles north-west of the country's capital Managua and is nearby the towns of El Realejo, Corinto, and others. There has been more than 60 eruptions since it started to erupt. Nobody was injured as they got somewhere safely. No evacuation have been ordered yet, but may be called soon. Studies have said that the volcanic eruptions won't get any worse than they have been. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-32721352 el trece de mayo de 2015
Victoria Shasteen Current Event Two men were arrested and escorted out of the Russian Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica on Friday. The two men were arrested because they had a three hour standoff with the police and the ambassador, people on the outside thought there was hostages. But that was just talk, the Russian Ambassador Valery Nikolayenko told Channel 7 Telenoticias on the phone that there was no hostages. One man in the standoff was a 20 year old Kazakhstan native, Roman Bogdanyans. There is not any available information on what charges and jail time he will be served.
