I was at the tenant advocacy clinic with William, Tyler, and Fiona on Monday, and it was a very fulfilling experience. The gratitude that William and I got from simply helping a family find housing was a great experience. I am definitely looking forward to going back. Although I was not able to speak Spanish to the family, I ran searches and taught the daughter (who spoke a little English) how to do the same. I also called the landlords and drafted/sent e-mails on their behalf.
It was quite disheartening to see Aldolfo come in with his 14-day notice, but I believe that he had a strong case to bring to court due to the horrendous living conditions at his place (or so I was told).
So for scientific/environmental articles, I read some great sites online that have a wealth of information that is extremely interesting.
www.sciam.com <-- Scientific American
www.wired.com <-- Wired News
Also, since people have posted about TED talks, this is one of my favorite talks. It is about food and healthy eating in America, which I believe to be a huge problem.
