Queen Elizabeth's Funeral


Queen Elizabeth's Funeral

When I think about the vast amount of  tax payers’  money  spent , as well as , the exorbitant amount of money spent for countless flowers etc. and the degradation to the quality of our air with  travellers coming from all over the world to the Queen funeral, I  wish  the Queen had left strict instructions for her last wishes.

Imagine what an everlasting impact and legacy if she could have had, if she had declared that instead of a nine day funeral procession ,  she would like to use 50 % of her estate  and donations from her loyal subjects to create GHG - reducing- and - carbon sink  parks and woodlands  in all the Commonwealth countries in her name.
Then she would have create a peaceful solace where people could hike, explore, mediate, and think about her legacy.

Hopefully, King Charles the 3 rd , who apparently is profoundly concerned about global overheating and climate chaos, will seriously think about an everlasting legacy that dovetails his passions.

DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN

 DON'T  TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue. As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a

  What do you think? Can birds help combat the catastrophic impacts of  climate chaos ? YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! Birds do an incredible job of  helping to create new forests by eating tons of tree seeds.  As they fly all over the forests the tree seeds in their poop is dropped on the forest  floor.  And, the poop helps to fertilize the tree seeds as they sprout into saplings. 92% of woody plants are grown from the seeds dropped by birds in their poop !  182 species are edible. 85 species are used for timber.  153 species are medicinal  plants. 156 species are ornamental.  A new study   published  in Forest Ecosystems   (20220 concluded large fruit-eating animals, including birds like toucans significantly help regenerate forests which are  giant traps for carbon, collectively, absorbing  as much as 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions , and store more than 1,600 gigatonnes of carbon in their soil.  In the tropics, tall, hardwood species with dense,
