Mario Medina and Brooke Baca March 12, 2019 World News Section 1 Plastic Pollution Plastic littering is becoming a more of a massive epidemic than ever. Now plastic is practically covering the world and many animals have had to adapt to it. Plastic pollution is bad for the environment. The animals are also caught up in this. They are being forced to adapt to the new conditions it has brought with it. Many species have already died out and no one can do anything. Many variables are all adding up. It's starting to become impossible to single one thing out and say it's the cause of everything else. Now we're at a point where it's really bad and it shows major threat to our Earth here are some numbers to exemplify exactly how bad this situation is right now. 5.3- 14 million tons of plastic, and this is just on land. This major number threatens so many people around because of the effects it has on everything around us and the animals we support and sustain. 269,000,000 tons were found floating in the ocean and we can only suppose so much more are found below or around. The scale of this is kind of incomprehensible for us as humans. As we continue to grow and sustain we need to really watch what we are doing and what we allow. All of what we built could go south at any second.. Either way this is a generational problem and whatever generation deals with it I feel bad for and wish them all the luck in the world. https://www.pbs.org/video/how-much-plastic-is-in-the-ocean-jpfpsf/ Gaming Section Gaming is still relatively new and now with the addition of the internet it has introduced new probabilities with downloadable content. This extra/cut content from 1the game that have ravaged games now and their popularity. As of recently the perfect business model is free games with skins or weapon skins. For example your in game character has variants for how he looks with skins, weapon skins are also a variant paint for a gun or an entirely new variant. The skin rarity usually goes like this legendary 1, epic 2, rare3 , and common4 . While some games want to become a live service for the first time ever. With this new format being introduced companies are not held accountable for any decisions made for their live services; this is the carelessness of this new horizon in gaming. Games have already been enforced to make investors happy with this sort of funding. Many games have already failed miserably because of this type of greed. But as these games as a live service grow we can only hope people and developers stay dedicated to the game, making it feel new before fatigue plagues the community. What these two games do will pioneer the rest of the games that will come out. Sports Section July 24 2019 will mark one year until the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. While we don’t yet know the names of the athletes that are competing, it's never too early to start looking ahead to the new sports and events in which many of them will be competing. While some sports will be totally new, others are returning to the Olympic program after an absence, and some existing sports are adding new events.
