America cheered as One World Trade Center was just recently completed. As the last piece of the tower was the spire, the Port Authority attached a GoPro camera to the piece as it was lifted to the tippy-top of the tower to document the special event.
For years, TV watchers have been dreaming of ‘smell-o-vision’ as it’s been dubbed. Viewers can’t help but imagine their living room filling with the scent of roast beef and potatoes while watching the Food Network. Or the smell of fresh cut grass and hot dogs at the start of the Superbowl.

There’s no question that plastic bottles are a huge environmental issue. But many people don’t realize just how serious the situation is.
In Australia, for example, birds are starving to death. Not because there isn’t plenty of fresh food for them, but rather because of the plastic bottles that have littered the coastline and peppered the beaches.
The birds often confuse the bits of plastic with real food, and after a while, they literally starve to death with a belly fun of plastic.
Environmental group Greenpeace Australia wants to curb this serious matter by enacting a 10 cent recycling refund scheme found in countless other Western countries.
They claim the program has been proven to stimulate recycling, as a similar program in South Australia has been in effect for 30 years, “saving tens of millions of plastic containers from ending up in our beaches and oceans.”
But soft drink behemoth Coca-Cola has just won a court case stopping the recycling scheme from becoming law.
