Oil Prices Rise Sharply

By: Trisha, Noelle, Kyra

On Thursday, April 9, 2009, in New York oil prices rose very significantly, showing that there are hints that energy use is way down. Traders are now focusing, not on the rising stock market but the surprising news that retailers are spending money. Benchmark Crude Oil for May delivery rose nearly 6%, which is $2.86 for the price to settle at $52.24. It shows that we might be pulling out of this recession.

Negative Effects of Plastic Bottles

Tyler F.
In an effort to show the negative affects of drinking drinks out of plastic bottles, the FOX energy team at Fox Television Sations in Philadelphia made a poster in their WTXF FOX 29 studio of a vending machine worth of plastic bottles leaving small memo's between the bottles encouraging the employees and visitors to use tap water and reusable cups. The display took up a whole wall.
