Algae in China...odd..Olympic

Our world is sick...need treatment..hope to cure if we try hard.

Deadline

Around him are many hundreds of small wooden fishing boats.

But they are not looking for fish - their holds are filled with piles of green algae. They take it ashore and from there it is taken to landfill.

The government is erecting booms and netting out at sea, to stop the algae coming ashore, but it has no answers yet for stopping the weed growing in the first place.

As the banners along the roads proclaim, the army has a two-week deadline to get rid of the slime.

The pressure is on: the Olympics begin in just over a month.
