Unpacking how to recycle plastic – Darcy Hitchcock
Plastics are a problem. While they are light and flexible, useful features, they come in a myriad of types, making them hard to recycle. Almost none biodegrade in nature and microplastics are increasingly a concern. So your first line of defense should be to find products that aren’t packaged in plastic. Or find stores where you can refill your containers.

But it’s pretty tough to avoid plastic all together, so here’s a definitive guide on how to recycle.
Traffic in Bali – Helena And The Sea Photography

I recently got home from Bali. As usual I spent some time in traffic on the amazing island of Bali. There are a lot of complaints going around about the traffic situation on the island. But I’ll show you how to enjoy it a bit more. Stay with me 😉
When I travel in Bali, I stay at different locations and explore the local attractions in that area. That way I spend less time on the road. There are so many people complaining about the traffic in Bali. And it’s true, it’s horrible in some places. So, in order to avoid spending half my day in traffic, I stay at one place that’s close to what I want to explore. And then move on to the next destination…

Home Office to detain asylum seekers across UK in shock Rwanda operation | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian (Me: Britain’s “1984” begins on Monday)
The Home Office will launch a surprise operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK on Monday in preparation for deportation to Rwanda, weeks earlier than expected, the Guardian understands.
Officials plan to hold refugees who turn up for routine meetings at immigration service offices and will also pick people up nationwide in a two-week exercise.
They will be immediately transferred to detention centres, which have already been prepared for the operation, and held to be put on later flights to Rwanda. Others identified for these flights are already being held.
It is thought the launch of the operation has been timed to coincide with Thursday’s local council elections in England, to boost Rishi Sunak’s claims he is cracking down on illegal migration.

Fluttering…by Mágica Mistura – Mágica Mistura
Leaves in the wind
Curtains dancing frantically
Here and there a feather in the whirlwind
Hold the skirt, the towel, the bag
There passed another gust
The trees almost touched the ground
The lagoon became the sea
Revolt of so many waves
Um, did I mention about the wind?
Sorry, I’ll talk every now and then
Law inclusive
To a little storm
Whirlwind coming,
Fine sand…oh, oh, oh
The wind refreshes, airs
Take the seeds, spread ideas
Fall and winter…
Promise Mother Nature,
I know you will comply
Promise, go…
More wind is coming
Awaiting.

A mi madre, la gente le llamaba «la señora amable», por su gentileza, educación y valores; a mi padre, quien fue un caballero, las personas lo admiraban y respetaban. Mis hermanos y yo recibimos de ambos uno de los mejores regalos que un hijo puede heredar: amor, educación, valores, amabilidad y respeto.
Vivir en un hogar ejemplar, tanto en la niñez como en la adolescencia y parte de la juventud, es una bendición, una delicia y un encanto. Se trata de un regalo que supera cualquier riqueza material porque una familia bella e íntegra no la compran los tesoros más codiciados en el mundo.
Uno trata de andar por el mundo con la educación que recibió en el hogar, principalmente si es de valores; sin embargo, la crisis surge en cuando se mantiene relación con la gente, en un lugar y en otro, en una época en la que prevalecen la ausencia de bien y de amabilidad y abundan las superficialidades, la estupidez y la vulgaridad. No es fácil ser amable, educado y bien intencionado en ambientes grotescos y hostiles, donde vale más una persona que luce un automóvil lujoso o una billetera repleta de dinero, que un hombre o una mujer que actúa con sencillez y amabilidad…
