Plastic Oceans: We need to do better
The growth of plastic production is seriously damaging our planet. Over the past sixty years, plastic production has skyrocketed by a massive 1220%, and it's estimated that more than 100 million tons are dumped into our ocean each year. It is now projected that there will be one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in the world by 2050. The detrimental impact on marine life and sea animals has been extensively documented, as well as its adverse effects on human health.

Despite this, in 2020, an estimated 11.51 million people used honey in Great Britain, compared to 10.51 million in 2019.

Watch The Video, Start Paying Attention, And Change, Or We're Screwed
If the picture or the video below freak you out, they should. I remember seeing this in movies and having the good folks from Hollywood explain it to us. Then it happened numerous times, in real life. Now, it’s happening again.

The White Birds Return
Throughout the seasons, throughout each day, the birds in the yard announce their presence with songs, both distinctive and cohesive. The whistles of the cardinal, the squeaks and clicks of the starling, the high- pitched song of the sparrow, the peep of the junco, and the insistent cry of the blue jay form a joyful chorus. The hooting owl provides the bass. The woodpecker’s search for food completes the ensemble with its addition of percussion. The members of the chorus change with the seasons but continue to celebrate each day.

The Fantastic Origin of Espresso - Indonesian Coffee
Coffee arrived in your Dutch East Indies archipelago at the end of the 17th century. The coffee legend itself tends to spark intrigue (Caldi and his dancing goats!), but for Indonesian needs, espresso has arrived lower in a structured and less mythical trend in the VOC (Dutch East Indies) buying and selling galleons, by the way. Yemen, as well as the Dutch enclave of Malabar. These original coffee varieties eventually developed into Arabica, the direct descendants of six coffee trees that the Dutch managed to smuggle out of Yemen and plant in the Amsterdam botanical garden.
