This article relates back to what we were talking about yesterday in class only instead of paying more for each gallon of gas, these people pay car insurance by the mile. The more you drive, the more car insurance you will have to pay and vice versa. California is the only state moving towards this policy right now, but hopefully in the future we will see it in more places.

Also, this link shows heart-wrenching pictures of pollution in China. This is so upsetting because a lot of it is just irresponsibility and improper discarding of trash and chemicals that caused it to get this bad. The photos show deformations in children and people that were basically paralyzed because they live in these polluted areas. Look at the sky in the photos with the power plants...it is truly disturbing.
