   THUMBS DOWN TO  PEOPLE WHO LITTER DISPOSABLE MASKS   THE CATASTROPHIC IMPACTS OF DISPOSABLE MASKS Most of the masks you throw away are made from polypropylene- these masks might take up to hundreds of years to decompose.   If you are neglecting to dispose of them properly in containers, they could end up causing the agonizing deaths of al kinds of marine life including dolphins, sea turtle, and whales . Many people seem to be completely ignorant of the fact that anything with plastic components can survive in the environment for hundreds of years.   Sooner or later discarded items end up in a lake, and then a river and all rivers flow into oceans.   Globally, we are using 129 billion facemasks and 65 billion plastic gloves every single month!   Divers and observers are now finding discarded gloves and mask floating underwater   catastrophically affecting the marine life as they mistake the floating items for food and end up starving   to death!

  Gander and 7, 000 Stranded Travelers     19 years ago the World trade center was attacked; the Pentagon went up in flames, 3,000 died   on that harrowing day. All the planes in the sky carrying over 7, 000 passengers were ordered not to land in the US, just in case missiles had been ordered to attack all planes – the airspace shut down.   The Us now   faced with an impossible dilemma! Luckily,   the US’s teadfast ally readily opened up an international airport at Gander on the island of Newfoundland, known locally as “the rock”.     People from Newfoundland are known for their generous hearts, their selflessness, and their willingness always to lend a helping hand. They knew the passengers   would be   frightened and   frantic with worry as they had no idea where they had landed nor why. The residents of Gander –a town of 10, 000 and surrounding small villages now faced a logistics night mare- how to feed, clothe and provide accommodations for 7. 000 passengers.

  CLIMATE CHANGE AND BIRDS  314 species of birds will be seriously threatened by climate change by the end of this century. Dramatic climate change such as famine producing droughts, killer floods ,   out- of -control forest fires, desertification of fertile lands,   melting of the polar caps,  soaring  record- breaking  temperatures, increase in the  number of deadly and property destroying weather events such as hurricane, tornadoes, cyclones, massive mud slides, freezing rain, and snow blizzards affect all birds in different ways. v It can greatly affect bird distribution in specific area. v   It can modify the birds’ behaviour. v Their numbers can be dramatically reduced. v And even their genetic composition can be altered. v The timing of year when birds migrate and when they breed can be drastically altered depending on the severity of the change in climate. v Birds are affected directly in a negative way if rainfall is suddenly reduced in a specific area or
