Pollution Eating Trees - Olivia Browne (Period 6)

With new scientific discoveries, there is the possibility that bio-engineered trees will be produced to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. While this news is exciting, there are several problems in its way such as, where the carbon go and how drastically this effect the atmosphere. Still, the promise of a way to change the current pollution situation is very interesting and hopeful.

Analysis:
The Author is Thom Patterson and he appears to be a non-biased party with no affiliation to the scientific studies. This article was produced yesterday which add to the relevancy of the technology and the situation. I had no prior knowledge of the technologies being developed so, this is a surprise to me. This article was written for the health/environment conscious citizens of the world to alert them of new technologies. The reason for writing this article is to educate the public on developing gadgets that could change the world and create a safer habitat for the entire earth to live in. This new device reminds me of the health reforms during the early 19th century and how US citizens became more health conscious.
