Germany: Markische Allegmeine: "Initiative Against Wind Turbines in The Forest"
Germany: Markische Allegmeine: "Initiative Against Wind Turbines in The Forest"
2 February 2015
Commentary
This article is a bit odd for my taste; I find the
complaints of the residents stupid. I
understand that the turbines are annoying, but
to go to this length to do something about it is
ridiculous. If the turbines were a safety issue,
this would be a whole nother matter. This is a
local newspaper from Germany and has
slightly impacted my view of the suburban
German folk...
Commentary
The program mentioned in the article sounds
very impacting and effective. I have some
envy of the Irish in this matter because of
their interesting approach they took to such a
touchysubject. There seem to be some holes
in the program that could lead to questionable
circumstances, but the effort of the Le Cheile
program is very inspiring and admirable.

Ecuador: Vistazo
Thousands run in Spain for education in Ecuador
Thousands of European individuals ran races held in Madrid, Seville, Mlaga, Cdiz, Len,
Valladolid and Santander to raise awareness of education around the world. One specific race in
Madrid raised $162,000 for the training of almost 800 people in Ecuador. The article says that
the aim is to raise awareness of the importance of all people to have an education and a decent
future (Vistazo).
I have not heard of this story in the U.S. seeing as how it takes place in Europe and benefits
individuals in Ecuador. I would LOVE to see a motive like this appear in the United States.

Commentary
A truly inspiring story. Both my faith in
humanity and my respect for the Spanish has
grown. The reassurance that not all in the
world is bad is comforting and inspiring. I
think that the lengths and support that this
movement has gained is wonderful!
Commentary
I think this is a wonderful use of technology
considering the local climate concerns. The
Canadians really utilize their resources well..
Honestly, this article brings be closer to the
realization that the U.S. is not the fastest
technologically advancing country.

Commentary
My heart aches for the victims of this crisis-especially the children. I am happy that the
Liberian government is attempting to help
their people and address their local issues. I
do wish that the U.S. would devote some
effort in assisting the Liberians, too.
