The Spectacular Sights in Mexico
1. The Yucatan Peninsula is located in the Southeastern part of Mexico near the Gulf of Mexico. This area is very colorful with crystal blue water and green forests, it is located near Cozumel, Mexico.
2. The Central Plateau is a highly air polluted area do to mountains surrounding this plateau, so the air pollution tries to escape but is blocked so it settles back down into the plateau. This isn't the most lovely place to visit but it does show how pollution can effect what would be a very lovely place to visit.
3. A very interesting place to go to is the Rio Grande River, it runs 1,300 miles long, so you don't have to worry about traveling to a particular spot! It borders the U.S so it wouldn't be a long way, it's great sight to see and pretty cheap for a out of country vacation! Also, you might want to grab that camera and take some shots because this is a very picturesque area. If you don't go, I sure will!

The Ins and Outs of Venezuela

Venezuela's main imports are technology, chemical products, and agricultural products, does it concern you that chemical products are right next to agricultural products? Or is it just me? Anyway, The GDP in Venezuela is 509.97 billion U.S dollars and the literacy rate in Venezuela is 95.5% which is like Venezuela getting a 95% in Language arts.

Messy Mexico
Mexico has many environmental concerns, the largest one is deforestation. Lots of land was cleared due to cattle grazing, colonization, and farming. Those must be some happy cows because they must get most of the country to graze. But that's not all! Chemical pollution is also a really large problem in Mexico. This is mainly caused by factory discharge/waste. This can change! No one wants deforestation so just plant more trees, sure they might take a while to grow, but in the long run you will be helping Mexico. As for the chemical waste, the government could put up laws to ban factories from discharging their waste, or you could persuade your company to have their own tactics to discharge waste.
