Collecting, Saving, and Storing Seeds

TED Talk: In this video one of the most interesting thing that I heard him talking about was about the apples and how many there were and how they are going extinct. Also how some are named from older relatives. something else is that these apples and seeds are going extinct and I think we need to do something to keep these from going away.

Doomsday Seed Vault Opens In Norway: In this article I agree with what was said. This new vault to keep seeds in like a storage is cool because like what the article said it would save more seeds from going to a waste.

Seed Bank for the World Threatened by Financial Crisis: This article to me sounds like if they are making collecting the seeds we have to pay a lot more money. In the article before this one, the vault they are making in Norway, made it sound like if it was not going to take that much money, but in this article it sounds like they are putting to much money for this.

Near Arctic, Seed Vault Is a Fort Knox of Food: I think it would be a good idea for them to put every sample of seeds and take there over there. But what if they run out of space to leave the seeds? Would they make another vault next to it or around it or someplace else?

Global Seed Vault: How long is the vault? Are they going to make another vault some place else were it's warmer or does the seeds to to stay cold to still be put in storage for a long time?
