NEWS DAY REPORTS
The Wet Wipes Crisis
Recently, the number of wet wipes deposited on our beaches has increased critically, by approximately 50% since last year’s measurements. This is due to the rising number of our population flushing these wipes down the toilets, instead of bins, that were purposefully set up in order to prevent this environmental pollution.
SOLAR ECLIPSE
The Moon orbits the Earth once every 28 days. Once a month it moves between the Earth and the Sun. Usually the Moon passes above or below the Sun as we see it in the sky. Occasionally however, the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, blocking its light. This is an eclipse.
General Election 2015
The 7th May 2015 is the set date for the General Election. The public has the power to change the PM to either Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband or keep our current PM David Cameron in charge. However, there are also some smaller parties looking for the spot of Prime Minister. There is DUP, SNP, The Independent party, Sinn Féin, Plaid Cymru, SDLP, UKIP, Alliance, Green and many others.
The Spring Equinox
Each year, our human race experiences two equinoxes. These occur when the night is as long as the day due to the sun facing the equator exactly. Usually, the earth is tilted slightly, causing the variety between our seasons. When the planet is tilted inwards, towards the sun, the atmosphere is warmer, whereas, if it’s tilted outwards, the temperature will drop, as the earth will become a longer distance away from the incoming heat. However no matter which way the planet is tilted, the tilt will never go beyond 23.5 degrees.
