[|Current Event 1] This article talks about Hondas Civic GX which is a very fuel efficient and low cost car. It uses electricity and other alternative fuels. There are few other cars that are similar to the GX but not as efficient and have more drawbacks. The GX gets up to 250 miles a tank and takes a few minutes to fill up again or recharge. The Toyota Leaf, a competitor car, gets from 62 to 138 and takes up to 20 hours to recharge. However, they have only sold about 12,000 all over the us. I think that we should put more gas around the world that can accomodate for green cars because that is one of the main drawbacks to them. there are only about 800 of them around the US. Thats a good number but still not nearly enough. I would definatly buy this car; we should be doing everything we can to save our world. Not only for us, but for future generations soon to come.

[|Current Event 2] This article talks about the growing rate of adults that wont be able to retire. About 40% of Americans wont have saved up enough money to retire at the age desired. Most people are completely unaware of how much to save up for. In a survey, people said around 25,000. But in actuallity, they will need around 250,000. Adults need to start saving more at an earlier age, but there are too many financial issues to save up for retirement at all. This is really a wake up call and i feel that all people that are starting their career or getting ready to gradate college need to keep this in mind to make life easier for themselves later on.
