PLASTIC BAGS ARE A CRIME TO THIS WORLD. HOW TO CHANGE THIS?

I remember very well that my grandma used to have less plastic bags in her kitchen than what we have nowadays. She reused every single one of them until the plastic bag was broken. She washed the plastic bag and she let it dry and then the plastic bag was good to go. 😀 What weird memories I have, right? Some of the plastic bags were used for my lunch for school and I was forced to bring back my bag every day. 20 years later and we think we are smarter and more practical. Well, why reuse and recycle … when we have so many plastic bags given for free from the market and from all sorts of other

5 reasons for which AUTUMN is an awesome season for vegetarians

I know a lot of people that just hate autumn. They don’t like it less than summer, or less than spring, they actually hate it…and they are pretty serious about it. 😀 I might get in trouble for even suggesting that there could be another side of the coin. 😀 Autumn announces the entering of the cold weather and the end of sunny and bright days… and if you look it that way, it’s indeed depressing. But wait just a second before judging it. Let’s watch it from another perspective. What if I told you that autumn can be (and it is) an awesome season? And no, I am not crazy, and yes, I do love summer, I actually love

WATER… tap or bottled? (Part I)

I know you hear this all the time: “Drink your water!” But why?! Why drinking water is so important? Why all the media is screaming in one voice the message, over and over again, like a CD put on repeat? Well… the media is made of people right? Some of them are extremely well intended and they really want to spread a positive message concerning water consumption, while others are paid for promoting water consumption from a certain company. I am sure you are familiar with the multimillion-dollar water businesses on the entire globe. I must say I am “a little” pissed off when it comes to water market because I really don’t understand why water has to have a

Meat consumption kills the planet

Does the title bother you? Well…it shouldn’t, because it’s the pure truth. I can agree with you that it doesn’t sound too good, but I believe that we must know the reality and accept the facts. Even if, from now on, we still decide to consume meat, at least we will be aware about each aspect of our food choices, regarding the planet and the environment. We hear all the time about pollution and about the bad treatment that we apply to our planet, but we don’t know exactly what this means and what we can do. We have an idea, we talk about this, but we do … merely NOTHING. On our planet we have a lot of sources

Blue Planet and Earthlings

I get very emotional when it comes to Earth, the blue planet. I almost get speechless. I do hope, however, to chill out and write with passion about the incredible place that all of us chose as home. My love for Earth has roots in childhood, since the times when my father was reading enthusiastically books written by Isaac Asimov (for those who do not know, Isaac Asimov was an author of science fiction). He was always reading at least 1 page before going to sleep. I remember that I was laughing inside of me when his hands were trembling under the weight of the book and finally, the book was landing surely over his eyes, and then….. He was
