GREY WOLVES OFF THE ENDANGERED LIST

Grey Wolves, of the North Rockies are being removed from the endangered list. About 1,500 of them inhabit the states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. This is a very drastic change, since this species almost went totally extinct in the 20th century. However, public hunts for these animals might be allowed as soon as this fall.

Summary
A new fad of paper, biodegradable coffins and caskets are more eco-friendly than the regular wooden coffins that we bury underground in cemeteries. Although they are more friendly to the environment, and rot over time they still burn a lot of fossil fuels in the making, due to cremation. The price range of these coffins ranges from one hundred dollars for a simple cardboard box to three thousand dollars for a handcrafted burial. These coffins although mainly used in United Kingdom, are becoming more popular in New York, California, South Carolina, Texas, and Florida. The average revenue of these coffins is eleven million dollars. Bob Fells says that although he doesn't know if these coffins are here to stay, he is ready to give what is needed of these biodegradable, eco-friendly coffins.

The year 2007 takes eight place in its warmth since they first kept track--back in the year 1895. The average annual temperature is 54.3 degrees Fahrenheit; but that is only in America. However for the worldwide temperature, it is the fifth warmest since the year 1880. In fact, in the United States February and April were the only two months that were cooler than average. March and August were actually warmer than usual, two of the warmest months in one hundred years. There have been serious drought conditions in the Southeast and west, most of which was from about July (midsummer) to December. This information will be updated in January, but for now it seems like 2007 is one of the warmest years in recorded history.
