Hunter’s Moon

A great and wonderful tale…

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Chandrabhanu lay motionless as a rock on the wet and cold forest floor, camouflaged in the colours of the jungle like a predator patiently waiting for his score. Neither the seldom trickling of the night dew nor the occasional insects crawling across his seasoned skin made him blink or move. The creature he was after was nothing like any other predator he had ever hunted before. After twenty-one days of chasing this ghost in the darkness, his chances to succeed was best on this illuminated night of the hunter’s moon.

More than three hours had passed since he had moved. The unflinching wait had slowly sunk his weight a few inches into the mossy forest floor. He had finally managed to track down the beast to this ancient cave in the darkest heart of the woods but wondered how to bring down this mighty foe. The animal was stealthier than…

Recycling: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

EPR provides a financial incentive to manufacturers to use packaging that is recyclable. Companies pay fees for packaging that cannot be recycled, with the fees reduced for packaging that is easier to recycle. There are no fees for packaging that can be entirely recycled.

The experience in Quebec is that this program has brought $250 million back to communities to support recycling programs. EPR was originally introduced in Germany in 1991, and into the rest of the European Union three years later. As demonstrated in Quebec, the program has no impact on the cost of products to consumers. Further, the rate of recycling is 63% in Quebec versus a paltry 25% in the US.

Maine is the first state in the US to implement this program. Oregon has just passed an EPR law, and both Nestle and Walmart now support this legislation.

Maybe there’s something else to learn from our…

And now the youth are saying there is a need for change, and some are asking why

They ask why, when the earth can get too warm for us to live on it anymore

Is it that they don’t know that a change in their action can help them to have a future that is secure?

Violência Contra a Mulher: violência doméstica e familiar

Vivaldi translation: Violence Against Women: domestic and family violence

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência Contra é Mulher é uma das formas de violência mais agravantes que temos em nosso país. A violência doméstica e familiar é uma violência que tem ‘sujeitos passivos’. Quem comete esse tipo de crime, não faz sofrer só a mulher, mas a família inteira.

A violência contra a mulher vem desde os primórdios, e encontra caminho nas relações de desigualdades. É muito comum vermos em nosso dia a dia, situações que revela essas diferenças. A gente sabe que ela só será combatida na pratica. Apesar de secular, ela se baseia no menosprezo, no ódio, na perseguição, e no gênero.

Há um longo caminho para se tentar estreitar essas diferença. A violência doméstica por exemplo, uma realidade comprometedora, diria que é um dos tipos de violência mais difícil que se tem de combater. Primeiro, porque acontece num local onde a mulher deveria ter segurança, ou seja, o lar. E…
