Why it is Good to Build Environmental Protection Awareness

FunWritings

If we don’t build environmental protection awareness in a new and better way

What will happen to the children when they grow up, what will they say?

When the air is too toxic and beaches are full of plastic

Will they ever be able to say life is so fantastic?

It is easy to take the environment for granted and believe our waste will disappear

When we don’t realise that it will be burned and it will pollute the air

So easy to believe we can live in a great way whenwe destroy ecosystems

Not knowing that after a while we will have many problems

You see our Mangroves protects the land from sea surges when the weather is bad

We should not be covering them with buildings, after a while we will be sad

632,786 Covid-19 Deaths in USA as of August 26, 2021

How many deaths could have been prevented if everyone who could be vaccinated was vaccinated?

How many more will die before people who are fooling themselves about the need to mask up, vaccinate, get tested if you have symptoms, isolate if you test positive – join with those who want their families to live?

Try your best to get people you know and care about but are unvaccinated and do not mask up to help protect you and your family by getting vaccinated and masking up. If they refuse, let them know you cannot see or be near them any longer.

Sixty-Six Years Ago …

Filosofa's Word

It was sixty-six years ago today that a 14-year-old boy, Emmett Till, was brutally murdered for the crime of being Black in a town called Money, Mississippi.  You all know the story, but allow me to just quickly refresh your memories …

Emmett was from ‘up north’ in Chicago, but his mother had sent him to Mississippi to spend the final two weeks of summer with his beloved grandfather before returning to school.  One day he went into a small store to buy some candy and as the cashier returned his change, his hand accidentally and briefly touched hers.  That, my friends, was all it took to get this young man killed.

By the time the story had been spread and embellished on, it was said that he caressed the clerk … a woman much older than Emmett who he would likely have seen as being the age of his…

NON au stratagème du « cadre temporel » – Une aberration !

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Le «cadre temporel» est un chemin de l’ennemi de la forêt contre mon peuple. Le délai pour moi signifie voler plus de la terre Yanomami. Volez plus de nos terres qui ont déjà été délimitées, ratifiées et enregistrées par le gouvernement brésilien.»

Porte-parole et chaman Yanomami Davi Kopenawa

Depuis le 22 août, plus de 6 000 autochtones de 176 nations autochtones se sont rassemblés devant la Cour suprême du Brésil à Brasilia pour exiger que les juges statuent en leur faveur et rejettent le «cadre temporel » de 1988, adoptée par le gouvernement Bolsonaro en 2016 et promue par les secteurs de l’agrobusiness, l’élevage de bétail, de l’exploitation forestière et de l’extraction de l’or.

L’appel juridique du peuple Xokleng de l’État de Santa Catarina, soutenant que le «cadre temporel» est une interprétation trop étroite des droits autochtones qui ne reconnaît que les terres occupées par les communautés indigènes au moment…

Movimiento indígena en Brasil continúa la lucha por el territorio — Unión Mundo — mimismo

Barbara Crane Navarro

“No al marco temporal”, “Nuestra historia no empieza en 1988″… son frases habituales en las pancartas que ondean en las manifestaciones de los indígenas brasileños. Detrás de ellas hay una votación clave, que arranca mañana en el Tribunal Supremo Federal y que definirá el futuro de las poblaciones nativas del país. Los indígenas son frontalmente[…][…]

Mortuaries fill, hospitals clog in rural California towns – Los Angeles Times

In the state’s conservative northern reaches, health officials have battled against widespread distrust of the vaccines, skepticism about the virus and anger over mask mandates and lockdowns. The region’s dramatic spike in cases attributed to the highly contagious Delta variant mirrors what is happening across the country in states that supported President Trump, who acknowledged that he deliberately downplayed the danger of the coronavirus early last year. “We have spent too much time fighting each other and not fighting the virus,” McGuire said. “Unfortunately, politics has ruled the day. We need the public’s health to come first.” Perhaps nowhere in California is the disaster more acute than in Del Norte County in the remote northwest corner, where the redwood forest meets the sea. Cumulative coronavirus cases have more than doubled over the last three months, from 1,380 confirmed on May 10 to 2,805 on Friday. At least 70 cases were confirmed Thursday alone.

Jamaica’s public hospitals only accepting emergency cases

Petchary's Blog

Jamaica has reached its most difficult and stressful point as we do our best to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hospitals are now over capacity – there are no more COVID-19 beds. Concerns about oxygen have now come to the fore. The Ministry of Health and Wellness issued this press release earlier today. It is frightening to read that around 1,000 patients in hospital now are either COVID-positive or suspected to be positive. It has all happened so quickly.

Jamaica’s health system is stretched to the limit.

Meanwhile, over 500,000 vaccine doses have been administered as of Thursday afternoon (August 26). Of that number, 359,675 were first doses and 139,242 were second jabs. The remainder were one-shot Johnson & Johnson doses. This is encouraging, but we still have a ways to go. We received a donation of 200,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from the Canadian Government this week. We also have the Pfizer…
