Wikileaks: "Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to our journalists (our electronic drop box). "
The creator of the site checks up on the information to verify it.

Wikileaks Paypal account has been cut off and they can no longer recieve donations. Wikileaks is under pressure in several countries. The site is recieving many threats.The U.S. is conducting a criminal investigations.
I think Wikileaks is an illegal publication of sensitive information. This information could lead to wars. Although the information can be good for the public to know, it is wrong for this information to be spread so widlely when it can put our countries and our people at risk of attack.

Kill Boars for cash
http://www2.macleans.ca/2009/01/14/kill-boars-for-cash/
Wild boars were imported to Alberta in the the early 1900s to help with economy but they escaped and have become wild. Producing lots of babies there are now 1000-1500 of them damaging crops. These animals are heavy, sneaky, and nocturnal. They can also occansionally become a threat to humans. Alberta (very much pro-vermin control) is offering $50 to anyone who kills one.

Trees falling from the sky
http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/11/18/trees-falling-from-the-sky/
There is a new idea that reforestation could be done much easier with airplanes. They would be dropping special containers that would drop little trees into clear areas; not areas where forests are being cut away. The idea has not been taken to with much enthusiasum but it could be a good thing with a success rate of up to 90%. Military aircraft would hopefully be used.

A road that cleans the air
http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/08/19/a-road-that-cleans-the-air/
Adding a coating of titanium dioxide to concrete roads. With the help of sunlight this natural photocatalytic chemical removes nitrogen oxides. It turns pollutants that comes from cars into nitrates and they get washed away by rain. Titanium dioxide also breaks down dirt so the roads can stay cleaner. This chemical is being used in some countries to help remove pollution but other countries have yet to use this chemical is actually not very harmful or expensive and should be used to help fight pollution in our cities.
