WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049

Twana Wilson received an Amazon Echo Dot as a gift from her husband a few months back. He thought she would enjoy having Alexa play music and read her the weather forecast, but the Echo still sits in its original box. She won't use it.Why not? Because like so many people, Wilson suspects Amazon is watching her, even listening to her conversations through her phone and laptop. "I just can't get myself to do it yet," Wilson said. "I am not ready for it."She has her reasons. She was recently chatting with a friend who was flying to Paris. "The next day," Wilson said, "I had a targeted ad for booking flights to Paris." She said she had never done any web searches and had no plans for a trip to Europe.A week or so later, she says, she was talking with her husband about his Jeep. "Afterward I started having a stream of Jeep ads" she said.She said it's the same story if she ever discusses a product with friends via text messages. "I even get emails form Amazon saying, 'Hey, aren't you looking for this?' Actually I wasn’t," Wilson said.Like many other Amazon Prime members, Wilson is caught between the convenience of one-click everything and concerns about her privacy. Recent news reports that 1217

When Beto O'Rourke opened the first Democratic debate by answering a question about tax rates in Spanish, he appeared to get some shade from Sen. Cory Booker.The New Jersey Democrat initially looked taken aback, impressed or jealous at the power move, which highlighted O'Rourke's ability to speak the language fluently and may have distracted from the fact that he could not or would not answer the specific question about whether he would support a 70% top tax rate.But maybe Booker was just frustrated that he didn't get to speak Spanish first. He pulled out his own language skills a short time later when the subject turned to immigration.One of the moderators, José Diaz-Balart, got in on the act as well, asking O'Rourke a question about the border in Spanish before repeating it in English.After the debate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the candidates' answers in Spanish "humorous, sometimes" but said they were "a good gesture to the fact that we are a diverse country.""I loved it, because I represent the Bronx. There was a lot of Spanglish in the building," the progressive congresswoman from New York told Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show." She also joked that because of the "content of the questions," she thought candidates may declare in Spanish, "I will not give you an answer to your question."If the importance of Latino voters to Democrats was in question (it wasn't), the translating Wednesday night was proof that Democrats want to appeal to Latino voters.According to census data collected in the American Community Survey, 21.3% of people in the United States speak a language other than English at home. Most of those, 13.2% of people in the United States, speak Spanish at home.It's larger percentages in some key Democratic states, such as California, which moved its primary to earlier in the process for 2020, and 28.7% of people speak Spanish at home.In Texas, home to both O'Rourke and former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, 29.5% of people speak Spanish at home.Castro, by the way, has admitted his Spanish skills are not top rate and he rarely spoke the language at home growing up even though his mother is a native speaker. At the end of the debate, he said one line: his name and that he's running for President. In English, he continued that that's the American dream since his grandmother emigrated from Mexico and now one of her grandsons is running for president and his twin brother is in Congress.O'Rourke learned the language growing up in El Paso, Texas, along the Mexico border. He and Castro tangled at the debate on immigration policy. Castro wants to decriminalize undocumented border crossings.Booker learned Spanish during a language immersion program in Ecuador. Bill de Blasio, the New York City mayor, did not speak Spanish at the debate, but he can.But neither O'Rourke's nor Booker's Spanish was flawless.When asked whether he supported a marginal tax rate of 70% on top earners making more than million a year, O'Rourke began his response in English."This economy has got to work for everyone and right now we know that it isn't, and it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does," he said.He then switched to Spanish, saying, "We need to include each person in the success of this economy. But if we want to do that, we need to include each person in our democracy. Each voter, we need the representation, and each voice, we must listen to."He then reverted back to English for the rest of his remarks.O'Rourke made some notable errors, however. For example, he used masculine adjectives to describe "economy" and "democracy," which are feminine nouns in Spanish and he used the verb "to vote" before correcting himself and using the Spanish word for voter.When asked what he would do on Day One of his presidency if elected, Booker replied in Spanish, "The situation right now is unacceptable. This president has attacked, has demonized immigrants -- it's unacceptable and I will change this one."He then switched to English, saying, "On Day One, I will make sure that No. 1, we end the ICE policies and the customs and border policies that are violating the human rights. When people come to this country, they do not leave their human rights at the border."Booker's Spanish was also imperfect, as he said that he would change "this one" instead of "this."O'Rourke was also asked the Day One question, although in Spanish, by Diaz-Balart."We will treat each person with the respect and dignity that they deserve as humans," he said in Spanish.Marianne Williamson joked on Twitter that she needs to learn Spanish by Thursday night when the other 10 Democrats who have qualified for this first slate of debates square off.The-CNN-Wire? & ? 2019 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
