Romania 'tops EU sex worker list'

This is a part of an article I have found on the BBC Internet page today.

Romania has overtaken Russia as the top country of origin of migrant sex workers in the EU, a survey of prostitution across the EU has found.
According to the survey, Central and Eastern Europe, including the Baltic and Balkan countries, account for around 70% of migrant sex workers in the 27 nation EU.
Italy, Spain, Austria and Luxembourg report that migrants comprise 80% to 90% of the sex worker population.
It caught my attention because the people complain about this, but it is in the EU where there is most of the prostitution. So families... don't like to see public prostitution because it's ugly and dirty, and I agree.
For example last week when I went to Barcelona I saw a lot of prostitutes alongside the road. One reason for these I think could be the lack of money and the wrong promises of the mafia to work in hotels and earn money.

In my opinion all those problems don't have a solution, and this is what the article shows.

Volcanic Eruption

Today I was talking with my parent about volcanos, and I search in internet this notice of last year:

On 15th April of 2010 European aviation authorities ordered the countries 'airspaces to be closed as of noon, due to a cloud of ash drifting from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. The volcano has erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. The volcanic ash has forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, standing thousands of passengers.



















In Iceland a volcano erupted, and because of that almost all the european airspaces closed, and this prejudiced a lot of passengers, families that were on holiday etc. Even though that dramatic event doesn't have a personal effect on me or anybody I know, I think that it's a sign of the planet to tell us to take better care of it.


I know that it's very good for me, maybe it's a little bit egoist position. We talked in class about this, and I'm conscient that die a lot of people with this phenomens.

The desforestation of the 'Amazonas' is worse than we think.







I think I wanted to look for some news related to the cutting of trees because this topic appeared in science class, as well as the importance it had for different zones and all the planet.
The deforestation along the river Amazonas, which is considerate the big lung of the world, is worse than we think at the moment, for the results of a survey which the Science magazine published. The human activities are reducing the Amazon jungle at the double velocity than before.
Considerate the longest river in the world, the Amazon region is a gigantic ecosystem of tropical jungles, with an extension of 7 square kilometers.
Moreover it’s considerate the richest biological reserve in the world, with millions of insects, plants, birds and other forms of life.
It’s the river which regulates the climate of South America and its trees are the biggest transformers of CO2 into Oxygen.
The investigation realized by scientifics of the Carnegie Institution, of Washington, shows that the richness is in danger and the principal factor is the unlimited deforestation, due to the activities of the wood industry in the region.
Ecological problems
It’s calculated that the total volume of cut trees represents between 10 and 15 millions of metric tons of carbon taken away from the ecosystem. The scientists show that the wood industry also causes serious ecological problems.
"The forests which have suffered cuttings present a big harm’’.
In my opinion the massive cutting and the bad use of the resources of the planet is a problem of all the humans and not only of some, or the wood cutting factories, because always all the humans misuse resources like water, light, energy and in this case a first class material like wood.
