Risk of Trees Extinction in Europe

HI  All,

I would like to share with you the below link that denounce the risk of extinction for many trees in Europe. Needless to say, the danger that this would create in the ecosystem. 

Among the main threats that trees have to fight against there are logging and urban development as well as agriculture and climate change. 

This is a map that shows the areas where the trees are most in danger:

HUGE GLOBAL PROTESTS DEMAND CLIMATE ACTION

Hi everyone!!

There have been several actions this Friday all over the world in regards to climate change, from Sydney to London and also in Berlin and LA.

It is fantastic to see how everyone is so motivated to take part in this pacific protests.

To my eyes this is the best way to be heard and push the various government to action on some legislation and protect our health and our world.

In this last month, I was reading a lot about climate change, the negative effect of the deforestation of the Amazon and all the fires that are lighted by farmers. My understanding is that most of the time local authorities play a blind eye and pretend to not have seen or not knowing as long as economy interest (at time even private) is satisfied.

Among the material I have found online the below link is particularly interesting. I would like you to look at it share your thoughts: it shows how the temperatures in our planet have changed since 1884: shocking!!

...AND THE AMAZON BURNS...

Hi all,

the sad news Amazon rain forest in on fired achieved the world in the last few weeks. Lots and people showed their support in different ways and the  social medias exploded with posts.

I was glad when the G7 committee announced that they were supporting Brazil on this fight against the time but I got furious when Bolsonaro, the Brazilian president refused their help.

Since then, almost no one has spoken about it any longer. :(

I would like to share some videos I found particular interesting on this topic, and hopefully this exploitation will be over once for all.


Thanks for sharing !!

HELP: AMAZON ON FIRE!!

Hi everyone!

No words to describe how broken heart I feel looking at the images from the Amazon on Fire! :( 

Hopefully, at the G7 meeting that will happen in these days, they will come up with some ideas on how to stop this emergency and follow up with a rescue plan to replant all those trees. Global warming is now and actions need to be in place!!

...maybe this is the wake-up call that we were waiting for.

WOODBERRY WETLAND

HI ALL!!

This week I have cycled to East London and visited this nature and wildlife reserve: Woodberry Wetland.It is the perfect place to step out from the busy city life and immerse yourself in some nature. There is a short path that can be taken and you will walk all the way around the lake. I enjoyed discovering this green area.                     Further information about Woodberry Wetland at: http://www.woodberrywetlands.org.uk/

OLDEN WONDER from METRO

Here we are again!! 

more sad news about the plastic world! :( 

What a shocking thing to find rubbish of the 90s buried and still intact. Really, it is time to do something against this consumerism!! 

WE NEED TO ACT NOW!!

"TWO crisp packets estimated to be up to 50 years old have been found during a beach clean in Cornwall. Emily Stevenson, 22, co-founder of the Beach Guardian group, said after picking up the vintage Golden Wonder packets: ‘We could read every word. It was like they were made yesterday.

‘It shows how every single piece of plastic that everyone uses will still be here when our children have children — and probably even longer than that.’ In 24 hours, Emily walked 19 miles along 12 beaches and filled 21 rubbish sacks with 150 plastic bottles, 78 used wet wipes and 42 dog poo bags.‘The most unusual thing was a traffic cone wedged in a cave at Bedruthan Steps,’ she said.

As well as the crisp bags, she also found a wrapper for Opal Fruits. The sweets were renamed Starbursts in the 1990s."
