Facts That Relate To My Issue- Endangered Species Only 5% of 30 million speices that are on Earth have been named and identified If tempature rises 3.6-5.4 degrees F over 100 years, the planets speices could dissapear of 20%-30, maybe even 50% Habitat destruction, hunting and pollution have been causing 1,000 speices per year to become extinct ever since 1980 Glacial movements and volcanic eruptions are also some cause to extinction, but not main ones Grey wolves and the bald eagel have been removed of the list since 2007 and 2008

3 Issues and My Positions
 * The first issue I found interesting was endangered species. My postition ia to try and decrease the number of species going instinct, as in find a way to keep as many species as we can alive.
 * The second issue that i found interesting was air pollution. I think we should do whatever we can to decrease the number of deaths that come from air pollution.
 * The third and last issue i found interesting was drunk driving. I think we should make more laws on it, have some type of device that detects you have been drinking and the car doesnt start and make the punisments of having accidents of DUI more severe.

Link to my bill: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/SB32 My bill is about replacing Styrofoam trays with plasstic ones. Styrofoam takes up a lot of space and last basically forever but plastic trays can be recycled and can be used for a lot of things. People should vote for this bill because if they do, we could stop the World from becoming one huge giant landfill due to all the unnecessary waste going in dumps. This bill can be a big stepping stone into conserving our World's landfill space. If my bill was to pass many schools would be able to save money due to not having to buy so many plastic trays.
