1. In this first article titled "Syngenta agrees to settle herbicide lawsuit", Syngenta's agreement to pay $105 million to settle an 8 year old lawsuit over reimbursing nearly 2,000 communities water systems that had to filter out the chemicals. The second article titled "Pesticides kills bee colonies", 'safe' amounts of pesticides affect bees because it makes bees prefer sweeter nectar and they refused to eat the average nectar they usually feed on. This causes colonies to be wiped out. The third article titled "Third BC salmon farm quarantined", is about another BC salmon farm that was forced to close down after it was affected by a virus known as IHN. The virus does not affect humans who consume the fish but it poses a threat towards salmon and salmon farmers.
2. I found all these articles interesting because all the problems I read about were directly from humans. The use of hebicides, pesticides and salmon farms affects the plants and animals and can cause bacteria and virus along with mutations to occur. Humans need to be more conscious of what they do and how it affects the environment.
