Humanity
Nature is My Canvas
Imagine taking something smaller than your fingernail, planting it in soil, watering it, and watching as the first signs of a tiny green shoot break the surface. You watch it grow almost indiscernibly each day. One day you realize the tiny seed you planted has turned into a 6-foot sunflower. It’s awe-inspiring to see the growth of a plant and support it to reach its full potential. Of course, you can never own a plant; they belong to the birds and bees and the sun. But you can nurture it and tend it and enjoy the beauty that it creates.

Michael Moore Encourages Suicide As Alternative Energy Source
As a writer and all-around marketing enthusiast, I am fairly new to the solar industry, and certainly no expert on renewable energy. However, I do know a thing or two about communication and information. In the time that I have now been working as a writer and marketing manager within the solar industry, I have had the opportunity to do quite a bit of research and discovery in the field. Initially joining the solar business, I was all in favor of the green energy movement and had positive opinions on all sources of renewable energy, and often cite the large list of benefits of cleaner, alternative sources of power. So I found it quite surprising when I noticed a lot of mixed reviews from potential customers when discussing the idea of switching to solar. Some people had really tainted and negative opinions on the industry and many were referencing the 2020 Michael Moore film documentary, 'Planet of the Humans' as the basis of the “scam” that they claimed renewable energy was. Therefore, It was pretty obvious that I needed to include watching this film as an integral part of my industry and marketing research.

A 'Peace' of Garden
Since the beginning of humankind, people have struggled to tame the natural world in order to survive. From fighting and subduing beasts, to cultivating the land, to creating more and more durable shelters as protection from Mother Nature’s rage, humanity has always sought a measure of control over the wild outdoors.

Iam 195 - Notes on Global Citizenship
Global diplomacy is the future of traditional diplomacy and I believe that if everyone acts as a global diplomat we can advocate for forward thinking ideas like universal basic income and borderless systems that will truly protect citizens in all 195 countries with safe food to eat, safe water to drink, safe air to breathe and give people the right to work by choice and not by force.

Do the Covid-19 restrictions placed on the UK population constitute a violation of basic civil liberties?
The containment of Covid-19 is proving to be one of the toughest challenges facing our generation. The outbreak has prompted the UK government to take urgent action and we've witnessed very stringent measures come in to place in the name of Public Health protection. The freedom to assemble, to congregate in places of worship and even to exercise free speech has been restricted. While UK restrictions may not look illiberal or authoritarian in comparison with other states such as Italy or China who have adopted more severe and intrusive measures, the fact remains that our individual rights, liberties and freedoms have been to some degree compromised, if not entirely suspended (for the time being). The validity of the statement in question depends on whether it can be shown that the State's response was disproportionate to the actual threat; constituting an abuse of its discretionary powers.

Happiness contained in a little flower
Interesting to say - maybe to better understanding and identifying this beautiful flower, Calendula is also known as Marigold. For me, to be eating flowers u had to turn into a rabbit, big long ears and be hopping everywhere. Be soft and fluffy snd cute to anybody, specially kids.
