reduced price on the shelf. In other words, if you end up by

On November 13th 2002, the Liberian owned tanker, The Prestige,
ran into trouble in heavy weather off the coast of Galicia. The
240 metre single-hulled ship had burst one its tanks and was
starting to leak oil. The ships Greek captain called the Spanish
authorities for aid but instead of the expected tow-in he was
told to steer away from the coast and head North West. Similar
responses were sent out from Spanish and Portuguese coastal
authorities who were keen to see the foundering tanker kept away
from their shores. This ship got into serious trouble on the

of people who claim to have been witness to them. Most of us
brush them off as just stupid stories, but what if they aren't
just stories?
One of the most famous of all myths is
that of Bigfoot, an ape-like man ranging anywhere from six to
ten feet tall who roams the forests of North America. We've seen
pretty much every form of proof that he exists except for seeing
him ourselves. Several people have told us stories of their

Drive slower, save the planet!
The environment is a hot issue that we just can't afford to
ignore any longer. To some, being environmentally aware is a way
of life, a necessary and fundamental aspect of existence. To
others being 'green' is something to aspire to, a lifestyle that
with a bit of guidance could be achievable.
Young people have been brought up in a culture of ecological
revelations, such as the depletion of the ozone layer and
melting polar ice caps. We all know that these things are still
happening yet we've still got a long way to go before the
impacts of modern society on our planet are decelerated (read full article) |
