Will you help me fight food waste and save lives?
"Who will buy it?" - with great compassion I am asking myself this question every time when I see another damaged or ugly fruit or vegetable and a wave of pain overwhelms me."I will " - I am answering myself and a fruit or vegetable is heading to my basket. I take them and silently suffering walk away because I know that there are still many left and they are destined to death in a garbage can. I can see people spending so much time thoroughly selecting the best looking fruits and vegetables, while I do exactly the opposite - selecting only bruised and oddly shaped ones. I stopped buying beautiful fruits and veggies a long time ago, I buy them only if I have no choice and only good ones are available.

The Pain of Unanswered Messages
Have you ever wondered why some people ignore your Whatsapp, Facebook or any other messages? I don’ t mean cases when you write to a complete stranger with an intention to start a conversation and make friends, although that also counts sometimes! You text someone, often expecting just a short “yes” or “no” but get silence instead. The worst thing is that you clearly see that your message has been read and…. ignored! Familiar situation? It leaves a person on the other end feeling unimportant and neglected, in a word — devalued. It’s ok to read a message and answer it a few minutes later or at most a couple of hours later, but in many cases it never happens at all. First you think that they may be busy and will respond you later the same day, after some time you start thinking that you will be answered tomorrow, but tomorrow comes and goes with no reply. What makes the situation even worse is that you can see their online and “last seen” status. Though many people prefer to hide it,what does not excuse their behaviour by the way, there are still those who don’ t care and keep on talking to others being aware that the person who is waiting for their reply can see it. This kind of behaviour is beyond my comprehension. I am worried even when I have Whatsapp messages from a few contacts and start answering one of them while others can see me doing it and thinking that someone else is more important to me, so I usually answer in a hurry in order not to offend anyone and I am not going to hide my “last seen” status, as in my opinion it is a sign of dishonest behaviour.
