Energy conservation is the key:

This interview was few days before the earth’s international day 2009 when the EPA administrator Lisa Jackson sat down with the scholastic reporter Madison Hartke-Weber and talk about the agency’s plans for a cleaner, greener America.

The topics they talk in general terms were the public health; how was created the EPA? And that was created by a little group of young people that was concerned in pollution and contamination so they and approximately 20 million people go out and do that the government see all the environmental and natural problems the U.S. has to create some environmental and natural politics but the problem is that those politics cost to the government and if the people don’t see the problem or don’t takes care of it will cost more and the problem of those people that don’t cares of It or don’t see it continue the same so the consequences are hotter summers ,changes in weather , problems in the agriculture etc.

My opinion:
That was a good interview because the questions were easy to understand but a little difficult to answer so is nice to see that people of 11,12,13 ,14,15……years old are interested in that ,they know of that and they like that and that is important for our future environment and nature because now we can see kids are interested and we (the kids ) are the future of the world.
I think also EPA can start to be in other parts of the world because they are doing a very good job in U.S.A ad they can do it equal or better in the entire world.
I am agree with Lisa in two things conservation not only of energy is the key and that energy has a cost and we have to see the cost.
For finishing the EPA is doing a good work and has to continue like that in all the world.

The champion’s league

Hi I am going to tell you about a very important football event, the….
UEFA champion’s league!!!!

The first Europe competition of clubs was created one month later of the first congress of the UEFA that was on Vienna in March 2 of 1955, but the competition called Europe cup wasn’t initiative of the UEFA.

French fundators: In that time many of the fundators of the UEFA were more interested in create a Europe competition with the official country team .the French newspaper L’Equipe and its editor Gabriel hanot were the ones that publish a Europe clubs tournament and his partner Jacques ferran ,and they desing a competiton that was going to be played all Wednesdays .

The beginnings:

The tournament initiated by the L´Equipe doesn’t say that the teams that were going to participate have to be champions on their country, so they invite clubs with a lot of fans. Some representatives of 16 clubs were invited to a reunion the 2nd and 3rd of April of 1955 and the rules of the L´Equipe were accepted. The first match was played in Lisbon between sporting of Portugal and the FK Partizan that end with a tie 3-3. the Yugoslavian team won the match of return 5-2.

Records:

The Real Madrid is the team with more victories in the history of the UEFA champion’s league with 3 victories from the restructured of the competition. this team to is the one that more cups have with 9,then goes AC Milan with 6,and Liverpool with 5. the real Madrid has to the record of more times being in the final with 12.
